Super Tech Moly grease?

[97f150]

I posted a thread here a while back about using Mystik JT-6 hi temp in not only my U joints but in my ball joints and tie rod ends as well. It was recommended to use a moly type grease in chassis parts and the Mystik was good in the UV joints because it meets Spicer specs.

I finally used up the tube of JT-6 hi temp and am almost due for an oil change (grease everything at every OC), so I was at Wallys and decided to check out the grease section as I needed a new tube anyhow. I decided to finally start putting the right stuff in my chassis parts and picked up another gun and a tube of Super Tech Moly Lithium grease. I searched on here and cant find much about it. Has anyone used this stuff? Is it good enough for my chassis at every 5,000 mile oil change? I figure I may use this tube up and use either this or Valv. dura blend in the future keeping with the hi temp JT-6 in my UV joints. Thanks.

Unless you run severe duty or regularly submerge the lubricated parts, I think the SuperTech will serve you fine. I use generic brand auto lubricants as much as possible and have yet to experience any downsides of doing so.

I'm also using SuperTech moly grease in the vehicle in my signature, having no obvious issues as of yet. Only been using it for about 1,500 miles so far in my driveshaft. I think that the type of grease doesn't matter too much for most conditions, as long as it's the correct specified grease and is replaced often.

This grease seems to be separating when not in use. My grease gun is dripping, but it could just be the lousy Harbor Freight grease gun... thinking of switching to a better (or at least more well-known) grease anyway, perhaps Valvoline Durablend.

The Mystik is also available in a 3% Moly, but not at any of my Walmarts. The Valvoline Palladium at NAPA is another choice for a good, readily available Moly that meets GC-LB specs.

The tube I have isnt seperating yet. I will run it out and probably pick up some Valvoline or something else at AZ.

It seems my grease gun was just not tightened enough at the tube cap. After tightening it, this grease no longer seems to be separating and the grease exiting the gun's nozzle seems fine for use. I will finish this tube then switch to some other grease, but that may take a while since I only have the driveshaft to lubricate every few thousand miles or when I feel bored. The lubrication interval is 7500 miles as stated by the factory service manual, but greasing more often can't hurt.
