What grease do you use for the driveshaft splines?
Every time I hear this question I have to ask: "When was the last time you greased the driveshaft splines on your car or truck?"
Driveshaft splines on your car transmission are lubed by the trans fluid. If you pull the driveshaft out of the trans you will have a fluid mess on your floor. No maintenance required.
Older 4wd trucks require greasing the splines periodically, newer ones are sealed.
Thanks. I stand corrected. I have never remembered any Honda mechanic telling me my driveshaft splines needed lube; 10 years 1500 and 5 years with 1800. Guess I will read my service manual.
For years I have used Valvoline VV632 Moly fortified grease and the splines on the drive shafts of both my trike and my two wheeler as well as the rear wheel splines on the two wheeler look new still. I am liberal in it's use. I use it on my wheel bearings and etc as well. Good stuff.

I checked my Honda service manual and found nothing about maintenance on the splines. If it's in there can someone tell me where ?
