Your explanation makes more sense, but I thought roller bearings was no moly and ball bearings you did.
Of course the folks at Valvoline say use it everywhere including Universal joints.
I am so confused.
One grease possible?

This. I used WD-40 Specialist MP, which is no longer available. I now have this in my grease gun: https://blasterproducts.com/product/heavy-duty-grease/
It’s also a calcium sulfonate grease. I keep a small 3oz grease gun loaded with moly grease for things that need it.
Looks good. It should also work on bicycle wheel bearings and bottom brackets, but #1 for gear clusters.
Other applications for CaSO2 greases include boat trailers, motorcycles, both power and hand operated railway switches and any where else where water can be present.
Where a manufacturer has several grades of grease in one product line, you may notice that a lighter grade, such as a #1 instead of a #2 may have a higher base oil viscosity and less thickener. Or visa versa.
In these cases, go with the recommended temperature range the grease is suitable for in the PDS.
In my above recommendation for bicycle gear clusters, a high base oil viscosity with less thickener in a #1 or zero grade may be more appropriate than a #2 with a lower base oil viscosity that would work in automotive wheel bearings in a cold climate.
