I'm replacing all four universal joints (both driveshafts) on my Pajero/Montero, and bought Spicer branded replacements. Although I tried to source non-greaseable replacements, they are not available for this particular application.
I keep two grease guns; one with Motorcraft XG-1-E1 (moly) for chassis components like ball joints, pitman/idler arms, etc. and the other with Motorcraft XG-11 (non-moly) primarily for wheel bearings. The 14 oz. tubes are pretty hard to come by here, and outside of the Ford dealer, the only place that carries them is Ace Hardware under the STA-LUBE (CRC) brand. But even then, the range available is pretty limited.
The owners manual only specifies NLGI 2 for the factory units, and I often used moly grease in it. Looking at Spicer's video, I notice they are using a red grease, like Mobil 1 Synthetic:
Would it be safe to assume they do not want moly grease used in their U joints? Is Spicer Ultra-Premium Synthetic Grease red in color?
