Smittybilt XRC Winch Free Spool

[trailjeep]

I have the Smittybilt XRC winch and it is a pain to free spool. I searched online and found that this winch uses really cheap grease. I plan on taking it apart this weekend and cleaning out all the old grease. What is a good quality grease I should use? I was thinking Mobil One synthetic.

That's what I plan to use. I took the endplate off mine and sprayed some oil in around the gears and it helped a lot until I get a chance to replace the grease.

I used the "Green Grease" instead. It seems to freespool easier.
