Makita xdt04 impact

Hey guys I was wondering what kind of grease you put in it because it has leaked a little bit from me beating the shit out of it . it still has a warranty but I know it won’t fail but want to replace the grease in it

Hello ! Units like these do not contain oil. There is some grease in there and when run very hot/hard the grease can ( sorry for my crappy English. Not sure if this is right. ) Give off abit of oil.

But that’s nothing to worry about 🙂

Oh damn sorry it looks like oil when it starts to go out of the mold . what kind of grease ya think 

Yeah, same thing happened with my impact wrench. I went into full panic mode, but decided it was fine because that seemed more convenient at the time.

i have opened my cordless impacts open from 1/4″ drivers to compact wrench and even the big 1/2″ wrench. all mine had a somewhat generous coating of what looked like white lithium grease. before i put them back together, i resprayed the metal to metal contacts with liquid wrench white lithium grease. i prolly didn’t need to but grease is cheap and its not going to hurt it if you add more.

Thanks 😉 

I’ve had my Fuel impacts take a leak like that as well. Wouldn’t worry about it, as mentioned the guts get a pretty good lube from the factory.

could I submerge my impact in grease overnight?

like caterpillar posted. i wouldn’t either. you only need to re-add grease if you inspect and notice wear and tear, or for instance your impact driver/wrench is out of warranty and you need to lets say need to put a new anvil on, then you definitely want to add a glob on anything that is metal to metal contact to prolong the longevity of the part.

if you really wanted to submerge the impact overnight, i wouldn’t use regular grease, non conductive would be the way to go but its still not a good idea.
