Most any grease you buy these days will be lithium based, which is fine. I think I would go for one with MoS2, but GL3 would be a gear oil, not a grease. I have some heavy MoS2 lithium that I use for CV joints and I suspect that should be fine. This is pretty hard to get to to just casually change out. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much?
