Avid Slip Bearing Oil is a Teflon based oil designed to reduce metal on metal wear by reducing friction and will remove dirt while displacing other moisture to add protection from rust. Avid Slide Bearing Grease comes in a 12cc syringe with a curved tip to allow for a very controlled application. This grease is the same that is already present in 90% of their bearings so you are already getting the best protection right out of the box and now you can clean and relube your bearings with the exact same high end grease to increase bearing life.

Hudy’s new Super Diff Grease is a high-performance, model racing car general-purpose silicone-based grease. With a thicker viscosity than standard diff grease, it stays on the diff plates longer, prolonging diff lifespan. It is especially well-suited for use in ball differentials and thrust bearings and is recommended for any heavy-duty application where high pressures or loads are present. The silicone grease operates within a large temperature range and works under extreme conditions over 100°C.
