Huh?????

I thought they were all filled with CV grease. I have had all of my shafts out at one stage or another but never had to replace a CV. The spare outer CV I have does have grease.

To answer your question - I though grease is the way to go.


Ps - how would the oil get in anyway? - certainly not from the gearbox.

Yes it is grease. The grease can go oily when it breaks down
