CV joint grease contains IIRC moly-disulfide (sP) Special for high pressure areas. This is what came with the joint. Don't waste your money or time with anything else. BTW there is a place here, right in the burgh, that you can get the joints, boot, grease, even clamps cheaper and much better quality, than any place on the WEB.
