Hello everyone,
Today I went to my local Stihl dealer and asked the guy at the counter for the gear grease for my string trimmer. He got a tube of Multilub, I paid and left. Before I left I realized that the tube has a chainsaw and hedge trimmer on the bottle, not a string trimmer but figured he knew more than I did. However now I am apprehensive about putting that stuff in the gearbox.
Is all this Stihl grease the same? Will I damage my trimmer by using this stuff? The ones I have seen online for the trimmers are in a metal tube while this is in a plastic tube.
Thanks so much in advance!

The part number of the tube of grease is at the bottom
It is the same stuff
00 lithium grease packed into a tooth past tube and sold for a massive mark up
Some makers specify 000 grease, often called liquid grease or pouring grease because it pours .
I have never seen a trimmer head damaged from using the wrong grease & I only use 00 as I buy it in 5 gallon tubs from tractor shops .
What kills trimmer heads is overloading the bevel gears by running line that is too thick, too long or both .
