Is this grease safe for contact with plastic or rubber? I am a R.C. Model enthusiast and the gears are in contact with pastic and rubber components.

I have had no problem assuming the grease boots on my tractor and snow blower are rubber based.

The packaging label does not specify if the product is safe with plastics. Should be safe and purchase products specifically for your application.

I used it on my Beretta pistols which are metal and polymer composite. I'm sure it is safe but you might want to go to their website to be sure. I wouldn't even think twice to be honest i'd just get it on the metal parts, no point in lubricating the synthetic parts other than the receiver slide guides.

My recommendation is a Dielectric Auto Tune-up Grease by "Permatex,"or a White Lithium Grease (spray can) or a Marine tube type used for outboard motors/trailers. Basically, a water proof/resistant type grease. If I remember correctly, the Mfr. had a preference for the auto tune -up grease. WD-40 lubricate is a fine product and will displace water, however it will wash awayfrom the interior O-rings found in the water nozzles. Perhaps, this may assist you.

No problem with the plastic. Are you using pure oil? A lot of the cheap oils are cut with chemicals.

Do not use wd40 as it polymerizes. Grease not. Graphited lock fluid is preferable. Jack

Yes ... Dielectric grease which is safe on electric terminals. Metal, rubber, plastic, brake systems and ignition systems too.I prefer the clear 3M. Jer

Depends on the specific application. Nitrile/Buna-N is a very common o-ring material for mechanical/automotive applications but not universally appropriate. The Amazon listing indicates it's likely to be incompatible with brake fluid. I'd figure out what you are specifically going to be using them for and do a web search or two to check compatibility.

Before the reinstall, I put lithium grease on the rubber. Have not had any problems with the units.

This grease is non-conductive, so it can be used in applications like you describe. It's appropriate for when you want lubricating properties, like a spark plug boot, or moisture resistance, like in a light socket exposed to some moisture (think automotive tail lights, or electrical connectors). It's viscosity is thin enough that as long as the connector pins fit tightly, or the contacts in the socket are spring loaded, then the grease will be easily pushed out of the way allowing the contact to be made.

Not sure which gears you are talking about. Part of this is plastic, and most of it is stainless steel. The wheel that tightens the parts that get attached, is plastic. It works very well, whatever the parts are made of.

There are better lubes for PTO applications. A good grease would probably be better.. but.. in a pinch, if it were going to sit connected and idle for long periods.. it would probably work just fine.

Depends on how dirty. Old grease took a Pressure washer. the other did not. Hope that helps.

Rem Oil is not supposed to harm the plastic. I have a mark3 also and mine worked without the oil. good luck

I wipe it down well and let it dry. Sometimes I even use an air compressor blow gun to dry iot off and more effective cleaning. There are lots of different chain lubes out there. I use Dumonde Lube. It's greasy, not dry but not a problem for me as I clean my chain every week. (I ride 100 miles a week)

I would check directly with the Royal Purple folks on that question. One of the key attributes of wheel bearing grease is its ability to withstand high heat levels. I'm not sure general use grease like 01312 contains those additives. You don't want to find out the hard way that it may not. All that being said, I have been using the Royal Purple 01312 on my cars and ATV's and its great stuff. The grease stays put, even on U-joints, and retains its lubrication properties long after regular grease has disappeared. Good stuff.

Shouldn't be a problem it is a grease about the consistency of wheel bearing grease or Vaseline.

I suggest to use all the new parts that came with the repair kit where applicable as using old worn part will result in excessive and premature wear. Remember to use plumber grease and not ordinary grease.
