Greetings,
I am shopping for a good grease for the universal joints on my Lada Niva. Most of what I read indicates that a Lithium based, EP grease is needed. However, when reviewing the specs on some available grease, it is not clear to me which type is better "extreme pressure" grease.
Ravenol Super EP
Ravenol Hot Red 2
Though it lacks an explicit "EP" label, the HRG 2 grease has a higher rating for VKA Pressure Carrying Capacity. Doesn't this mean that it is superior as an EP grease?
Additionally, it has better numbers for working and short term temperature, and dropping point. In their descriptions the Super EP specifically mentions universal joint applications, and the HRG 2 does not.
Based on the specs, would the HRG 2 grease be better for my universal joints?
