Default CV boot grease?

What is this called, graphite grease?
Got some molybdenum graphite grease, would this do?
Thanks.

Yes should be fine, found this on google:-

Moly/Graphite grease is multi-functional, high temperature grease. It combines lithium complex soap thicker technology with molybdenum disulfide and graphite to provide extended extreme pressure and high temperature performance. In very high temperature applications, the oil and soap components of the grease will burn off, leaving the molybdenum disulfide and graphite as a dry lubricant for the bearing. The grease serves essentially as a carrier for the moly and graphite. It is suitable for all types of bearing and sliding, shock, high loading and pounding applications

Learn something new everyday. I just used the lithium cv grease before never knew how it worked so now i do lol

Always wear gloves for cv boots, otherwise wait for new skin to grow to get rid of the bloody stuff!
