All, I have purchased a bunch of Moog suspension parts for a front end rebuild on a Tahoe and am struggling with grease selection.
The parts came with some bright blue translucent grease in them that looks a bit like a blue version of red n tacky. This isn't the milky blue color of marine grease or curelean from valvoline, this is much bluer and brighter, like a royal blue. It's actually about the color of the blue in the blue and yellow Moog branding.
Moog can't tell me what grease they put in the parts, just that I need an NLGI #2 GC-LB that is lithium or synthetic. I have been told that Paragon 3000 is the hot ticket, but am also told that it is a calcium-lithium grease that may not play nicely with other grease. I don't want compatability issues, but I definitely want long service life. Any idea what the factory blue grease may have been, or suggestions on whether I will be good with Paragon 3000 or if there is some safe alternative that is nearly as good or better? I am open to suggestions from the experts.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions you can make!
