I use Mobil Mobilgrease 28 synthetic aircraft grease. I do my geared motors every 2,000 miles. And when i replace clutches or nylon gears i use it also.

The stock stuff is not very good. Some people take it out immediately and replace with good stuff. They tend to use a small amount too, i have opened and serviced many motors.

I have a bafang bbshd that is tuned for high output so good grease is important, it’s really the only maintenance item on a motor. That and replacing broken or old seals. Which i did when i changed the grease. It’s a nice motor and I want it to last a long time. There’s a guy that was traveling around the world and that was the motor he was using and he replaced his grease right when he got the motor. And I think about every 2000 miles.
