Grease recommendations for worm gear?

[Jeff_Birt]

I tend to use white lithium grease unless the manufacturer specifies something more exotic. There are a lot of myths out there that lithium grease is bad for plastics, they are just that, a myth. Most DIY type websites I have found have wildly inaccurate information about this subject. It is best to go to a manufacture's website for factual information.

You can get into a lot of trouble with various combinations of rubbers and greases. Different plastics and rubbers will react differently to different solvents as well. For example, most types of rubber can be cleaned with alcohol, a few types will be permanently damaged by alcohol. I have mostly come across these types of rubber things like paper feed rollers, printer/typewrite platens, etc. For those applications I stick with soap and water.
