normally when you buy the new cv boots they come with the grease, if not try
your local motor factors, its dark grey, molybdenum.

As others have said, for CVs use CV grease. Use 30cc for each Mini CV.

Cheers,

Kelley

They were using lithium based greases containing molybdenum.

CV Joint grease (moly based grease, available at auto parts stores)
