According to the LR TSB LT206-003/2005 (attached), anti-seize grease should be applied to the new ABS sensor when installing. There is no mention or specifications of which/what grease to use.
From my searching, I found:
The Meritor Wabco Type D documents actually contain the following information regarding sensor grease:
Sensor Lube Specification
Meritor WABCO specifications call for a sensor lubricant with the following characteristics:
Lube must be mineral oil-based and contain molydisulfide. It should have excellent anti-corrosion and adhesion characteristics and be capable of continuous function in a temperature range of –40 ̊ to 300 ̊F (–40 ̊ to 150 ̊C).
No mention of the grease needing to be dielectric.

Is anyone aware of a specific grease that meets these requirements?
From what I am aware of, the dropping point of a grease indicates the highest operating temperature. Having had a look at some of the automotive lubricate suppliers, the following options may be suitable:

Valvoline have two greases with MolyD in them but they don't specify technical details on their website for their products.
