Find UTV, Side by Side & ATV Grease & Lubes

Mud, water and dust are hard on every moving part of your machine. The right UTV grease and lubes keep wheel bearings, suspension pivots, ball joints and chains turning smoothly, block rust and push out water before it causes expensive damage.

At Witchdoctors, we carry grease and lubricants for side-by-sides and ATVs from trusted names, including Lucas Oil, Bel-Ray and Maxima, plus genuine Polaris and Can-Am OEM grease. Add the greaser tools and chain lube you need to finish the job.

Why Grease Matters on a UTV or ATV

  • Less friction and wear: grease keeps metal parts from grinding against each other.
  • Keeps water and grit out: fresh grease pushes out moisture and dirt that ruin bearings and bushings.
  • Rust and corrosion protection: critical after mud runs, creek crossings and pressure washing.
  • Heat control: helps bearings run cooler under load.
  • Saves money: a tube of grease costs far less than replacing a seized bearing, ball joint or axle.

General and Multi-Purpose Grease

A solid all-around grease for most chassis points. Lucas Oil Red N Tacky #2 offers superior water resistance, even in salt water. Maxima Multi-Purpose Grease is made in the U.S.A., handles temperatures up to 302°F and works on wheel bearings, shock linkages and pivots.

Waterproof Grease

If you ride through mud and water or wash your machine often, choose a waterproof grease. Bel-Ray Waterproof Grease protects bearings and bushings against corrosion, even in salt water, and won't melt or run. The 14 oz cartridge loads into a standard grease gun.

Synthetic Grease

Synthetic grease stays stable through extreme heat and cold and lasts longer between services. It costs more, but it's the pick for hard riding, racing and heavy work. Can-Am OEM Synthetic Grease adds thermal stability, maximum washout resistance, anti-wear protection and a rust barrier.

OEM Grease

Following your factory maintenance schedule? Polaris OEM All Season Grease is built for high-shear stability, water-washout resistance and corrosion protection in hot and cold weather. Can-Am owners can use the Can-Am OEM Synthetic Grease.

Chain Lube

ATV drive chains need a lube that gets into the links and stays put. Bel-Ray Super Clean Chain Lube leaves an outer coating that doesn't attract dirt or sand, while Bel-Ray Blue Tac resists fling-off and includes anti-rust agents. Both work on O-, X- and Z-ring chains. Clean chains first with our degreasers and chain cleaners.

Common Grease Points on Your UTV or ATV

Check your owner's manual for the exact locations and intervals for your machine. The most common points:

How Often Should You Grease a UTV?

  • Hard, muddy or wet riding: grease after every few rides and after major water crossings.
  • Average trail riding: inspect and grease every 500-1,000 miles or at least once a season.
  • Before a big trip: check wheel bearings and suspension points.
  • Always: follow your owner's manual for your machine's service intervals.

How to Choose the Right Grease

  1. NLGI Grade 2: the standard consistency for most UTV and ATV chassis and bearing use.
  2. GC-LB rating: suitable for both wheel bearings (GC) and chassis (LB).
  3. Water resistance: essential for mud, water and frequent washing.
  4. Extreme-pressure (EP) additives: protect under heavy loads.
  5. Temperature range: match your climate and riding style.
  6. Don't mix: some greases aren't compatible. Clean out old grease when switching types.
  7. Don't over-grease: too much can blow out seals. Pump until fresh grease just appears.

UTV Grease and Lube FAQs

What grease should I use on UTV wheel bearings?

Use a water-resistant NLGI Grade 2 grease rated GC-LB. Waterproof greases like Bel-Ray Waterproof are a great choice if you ride in mud or water, and synthetic grease is best for aggressive riding and heavy loads.

Is synthetic grease better than regular grease?

Synthetic grease handles a wider temperature range and lasts longer between services, but it costs more. Regular lithium-based grease is fine for recreational and moderate use.

How often should I grease my UTV?

Grease after every few rides if you ride hard or through mud and water, and every 500 to 1,000 miles or once a season for average use. Always follow your owner's manual.

Can I mix different types of grease?

It is best not to. Some grease thickeners are incompatible and can break down when mixed. Clean out the old grease when you switch types.

Can I over-grease a fitting?

Yes. Too much grease can push out or damage seals. Pump slowly and stop when fresh grease starts to appear.

What is the best chain lube for an ATV?

Use a lube made for O-, X- and Z-ring chains that resists fling-off, such as Bel-Ray Super Clean or Blue Tac. Clean the chain before applying.

Should I use OEM grease?

OEM grease from Polaris or Can-Am meets factory specs and is a safe choice for following your maintenance schedule. Quality aftermarket greases also work well when they meet the same grade and ratings.
