The procedure everywhere I looked calls for MoS2 grease on the guide tube, release bearing, needle bearings, etc. Is this some type of special grease or will any high quality grease do the job. I have Mobil 1 synthetic left over from wheel bearing, and CV joint jobs that I would like to use. I can’t see it making much of a difference but just wanted to double check since the procedure calls specifically for MoS2.
Thanks

I've used the Mobil 1 on mine also; I doubt if the MoS2 makes much of a difference. MI is pretty good stuff, sure seems to stay put at high temps also. They make a thicker version for ambient temp applications that works even better for splines, tie rods, and guide tube. Did you really use M1 on your CV's? I always thought CV's required a very specialized blend to keep from being thrown off the rotating parts.

MoS2 is molybendium disulphide, a.k.a. the black CV grease.
I used mobil 1 synthetic on my CV's as well. It's very sticky, and very slippery. How much better can it get?![Smilie](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Worked wonderfully, also used it on my wheel bearings, and for chassis lube.
It will be just fine on the guide tube.

The Moly in the grease acts as a solid dispersed lubricant when the grease base is displaced - it's a better choice for applications like this where there's no real movement to refresh the grease film. However, I doubt you'll notice any difference.
