Grease choice for an E

E-Type

Many topics about what type of oil to use in our engines but not much talk about what type of grease to use for U-Joints , Ball joints, steering rack…

My grease gun had an AP grease and just ran out so …what kind of grease do you use on your E ?

I use some kind of high pressure red grease from Valvoline. I chose it for two reasons. Price and it seems not to separate in the gun like the other stuff I’ve used in the past. I guess a third reason is it will blend into the paint color if I get any on the car. :sunglasses:

That’s what I mostly use too.

I also have a gun with white Lithium, which is what I use for window winders, and door hinges and such.

I use Super Lube on pretty much everything too. It’s also dielectric and food grade.

Thanks to all for the replies.
I’ll continue to use my Valvoline multi purpose #2 EP GC-LB rated red grease (thanks Erica) for European cars . So far it has worked well for the last 8 years …
