Jeff:

I have been using oil since my restoration 7 years ago and have had no
problems or leaking of the trunnions.

Hi all,

I'm hoping for some definitive answer here.  In regards to the trunnions on
a
TR6.  I've read and been told conflicting statements regarding whether you
should fill them with 90W oil or grease.  The service manual indicates 90W
but
I was told by the local British car parts store that the trunnions will not
hold oil and that you need to run grease.

Which is correct?

Thanks,
