Starter motor grease

[steveG]

I've got the starter off my 300tdi at the moment while the transmission is out.

I opened it up to check its condition. Looks OK but the grease has dried up in the bushes, and the planetary gear section.
I'm just going to clean it up a bit and put back together.
Do I need special grease, or just a general purpose one?

I have never had a 300Tdi starter apart, but the Holden V8 ones I hae done I used engine oil on the bushes and ordinary wheel bearing grease on the solenoid linkages / pivots.
