    Oil in the Harness, suspension knock, transmission clunk, engine oil leaks, exhaust manifold leaks, centrifugal oil filter stripped bolts, a/c leaks, door leaks, wouldn't trade it for the world

    I've been using Castrol EPL2
    Extreme pressure grease.
    I believe, Lithium based for water resistance.

    and Marine grade for boat engines on non-bearing parts like "A" frame ball joint etc

    another Castrol LMM (NLGI 2, lithium complex, 3% Molybdenum di-suphide) user and it's all I've used for chassis lube over the last twenty years.
    Moly is really good for splines, ball joint's and uni's.

    Lithium soap or a Lithium complex isn't very good for water resistance. Aluminium is slightly better, but Calcium Sulphonate is the best. The best marine grade greases use this as the thickener, and it's compatible with lithium based greases.

    CAT market a range of Calcium Sulphonate greases with 5% MoS2 for their off road gear that I reckon would be the ducks nuts. One day I might get some.
