Jonathan Kay Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 In the days when I did it myself I used Castrol CL, but only because that was to hand. If I were buying some new I'd probably get Castrol LM (which may well be called "Multi-Purpose" nowadays).But I don't know what's actually in there at the moment because now it's done at the MoT inspection and I'm up in the car on the ramp.I don't know how to describe or specify the nozzle beyond "one that fits well". That might be somewhere in the previous discussions.Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bricol Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Small draper/clarke/other brands available worked well for me - solid arm to get the "push" onto the fitting. Fitting on the end adjusts to make it "one that fits well".Such as ebay item 361022809350 - one I found on random search - not necessarily the cheapest.

Wrightpayne Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 And remember to clean your nipples first. Being greasy they tend to get lots of grit stuck to them!Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Machine Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 As Bricol says, grease guns have an adjustable nozzle that you can open/close to suit the application. My 1997 supper sport has brass nipples that can snap easily if the adjustment is too tight or/and you put too much leverage on the nipple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
