What CV grease to use?
As above, what CV grease is best to use? I have a tin of Castrol LM grease, but am not sure if this is best?
Any help would be great.
Thanks
John

Yes, LM stands for Lithium, which I believe is used as a base for greases in high temperature applications, such as wheel bearings and CV joints.

Yes, but I was wondering if this was good enough for CV joints that get abused. It might be OK for normal driving, but will it take hard launching, and track day abuse?
