I happen to like Mobilgrease XHP 222 as "general purpose" grease , pleased to see it on the certified list.

Rykon does look really good. Hadn’t seen that one yet. Called a local distributor and it’s $56 for a 10 pack of tubes. That’s some affordable performance!

There’s my basic go-to list for greases. If you need moly, get the moly versions of the above. Rykon M3 / M5. Mystik Construction grease (actually just launched 2 weeks ago).

But for an all in one. You don’t need moly.

I’m generally a big fan of calcium greases. But lithium is still the largest market share of greases. So that’s my normal list depending on someone’s price point. From least expensive to most expensive.

The most important thing about grease is to actually use it. Years ago at the auto dealer I worked at guys would come demanding greaseable u-joints whenever they needed to be changed. No problem, but they would be back in 8 months complaining that we sold them junk. Run the truck up on the hoist and it is painfully obvious that they were never greased.
I have a large fleet customer that every year buys a pallet of #2 multipurpose grease from me. They use it on anything that has a grease nipple and they never have failures related to greasing.
