I am a fan of Swepco 101 moli grease. Been using it pretty much every where, wheel bearings, CV joints, etc.... for 20 + years

And yea, I use Swepco gear oil in my trans too.

I have no idea! But I would think we could use modern tecknowledge (sp)

and use a synthetc grease. all properties of syn. oil would come to play here ?

Just a Ques. and Idea. Dave

If you need a local source, you're going to be limited to a good synthetic grease. I've been happy with Royal Purple's new grease, and Mobil-1's before that.

Swepco's 101 is also excellent, and one of two products I could consider in CV service (my preference is LubroMoly's CV grease...).

Buy Swepco 101 from Pelican, it'll be delivered to your doorstep. That's pretty local...
