Moly or LM grease?

[Arthurdaily]

Can any one advise please - is it okay to use medium MOLY grease in the grease nipples? You know, trunnions, brake cables, etc...

I have loads of it...

I know it is for constant velocity joints, but think it should be okay?

Thanks!

Changed my question here... seems like lots of people use MOLY - when my two tubes run out, therefore, will Castrol LM grease be okay??

Is it okay to keep chaning the type of grease you use?

I think both have their specialist uses, but to be honest I think save your money and use both in bearings, trunnions, cables, steering rack and ball joints until you need to buy more.

The linky gives you the uses of each one.

I would interpret the Castrol link as:

LM for bearings and Moly for sliding/rubbing applications. Getting hold of Castrol moly grease seems more difficult - where is it available from?

That seems a bit at odds with the required use of Moly grease in CV joints - where there is LOTS of rolling (and some sliding) going on...... I use it for everything - can't see it doing any harm.

ESM sell it, or you can buy direct.
