Proper lubes?

[Mtnbiker]

What type of lube should I use for my Crank Brothers Candy SL's. I
prefer to buy from an auto shop instead of a bike shop as the price is
outrages. Anyone have any suggestions.
Thanks.

You can stick it to those rich bike shop bastards by getting one of those
big cheap jugs of 90 weight hypoid gear oil.

I should have said "Grease". I have a mini grease gun with a micro tip
that fits the Candy SL's grease adapter. So I need a little help with
picking the right grease.

Ok, I'll give that a try. Seems to make sense. I'll get the good stuff.
Thanks Chris.

Would a lythium based grease work Chris?
