Default CV axle grease. - Experts?

is MolyB Die Sulfide required, or only if its NLGI Grade 2. Like other Moly Greases. The mobil 1 is red, but i think all moly containing greases are a metalic black / grey.

Is the mobil 1 fine? It has the same grade requirements, and is a lithium based grease.

Or just use a moly lithium based grease.

Default Moly is better . . . the M1 is quite poor for use in cvs (m)

best easily found stuff is the Valvoline synpower for $5 a tube.

Look at the specs between the two and you'll see why.

You'll also notice that M1 doesn't say that its recommended for cvs . . . M1 has a problem with too much bleeding out.
