Is this Redline CV grease at all suitable for Cup axles?

https://www.redlineoil.com/cv-2-grease

I had a CV boot tear at the track this past wknd, and didn't have any Krytox or Neo with me, so borrowed this redline product to use in a pinch.
Much thicker/viscous than regular CV grease.

Do I need to get this out and replace asap, or is this an ok product?


EDIT - Follow up:

Other forums offer mixed results for this Redline product for heavy duty track use. I'll clean it out and replace before next track event.

 

I've used it in many race axles. Always held up in my cars.

 

I never had good luck with it. It seemed to get thin over time, FWIW I generally used Neo.

I had a tub of Neo sitting in my garage that I forgot to bring to the track, but somehow remembered to bring a spare 944T boot, crimps and the crimper tool with me.

In addition to CV grease, I'm going to have to strongly consider double height air jack stands to add to my trackside tools/spare kit...

 

We have used both Redline and Neo.

We sell Neo in the store, but do not have anything against Redline. Redline is thinner. Feedback from Drive Shaft Shop is that they do not like the Neo because they have had issues with it being too thick and causing issues because of that.

Demon Speed Double Height Jack Stands are the best.

Thanks

When I changed the bell on my 993 to the larger turbo one (pretty sure size as 6,7 cup) I ran into a similar issue like is shown above where the axle will not fit in/out without disconnecting hub. What I found is that if you disconnect the sway bar and jack up the wheel carrier as far as you can, it will change the angle of the axle and gave me enough clearance to the bottom of the bell to get axle in/out. Not sure it will work on 6,7 cups, but thought I'd throw it out there to try vs all the dis-assembly.

 

Thanks Joe, I'll look at that next time I pull an axle. This was the first time I had one out, and it was at the track on a friday night. I just started pulling bolts until the axle fell out. Likely wasn't the most efficient approach.

Ed - yes, your stands are the ones I will go with.

 

Gotta love Demon Speed jack stands. They are indeed a work of art and we use them every race weekend.
