I haw bought a Chris king classic rear hub and i wonder if i should take the original grease out and replace it with some sort of oil? Or should i drive with the original grease untill i do the first service?

I'd say put in a light oil!
That's what I'll be doing when my King hub arrives.

I gots me a King hub, what's this about degreasing and adding oil? what kind of oil? fork oil? Marvel Mystery Oil? anyone ever run vegetable oil in maguras? works just the same as DOT 3 brake fluid.

I changed the stock lube out to oil when I got mine, but I was impatient waiting on some spokes. Just run the stock lube until you need to relube it and then put in an oil. 10w synthetic, tri-flow or finish line wet (ref: Tartridge)

the oil isn't the most important thing, read the other posts on keeping it tight. You should need to tighten it three times your first ride, twice your second ride, and then once each ride for a fortnight or so. Then it's all good.

Fortnight = 2 weeks (I think)

Things sound so much classier when you say fortnight. For example, "That rash should clear up in a fortnight"

no rash ever clears up when you have a sleepover. You must be retarted.
