    Use synthetic grease not oil. Na-rerepack yan malamang. Dapat tanggalin lahat ng lumang grease tapos lagyan bago.

    Yung wuerth na brand or Top 1 okay siya. Basta lithium based para matibay at long-lasting.

    CV joint grease uses a lithium and molybdenum sulphide compound mixed in.

    Outboard birfield joint grease and inboard plunge joint grease are sometimes of different formulation. But both are NLGI 1 viscosity (semi fluid). To avoid surprises, ascertain whether the grease is the correct or recommended type. If the grease is thicker, it can cause noise and the car consumes more fuel.

    well lithium is just a thickener. and i'm not even sure if CV joint grease uses a lithium thickener. but yes "moly" or molybdenum disulphide is an important component in a CV joint grease.

    a CV joint probably won't last very long if you just use a plain grease like the 2 pictures above

    My mistake. It should contain moly indeed.

    Wuerth has a specific cv joint grease pala.

    Never had problems with top 1 but it is for cv of 4wd so its not used that often that is why it may have been okay after all this years. Different from passenger cars cv joints.
