The grease for the sliding pins you get with an OEM rebuild set is neither with moly or copper.
Its orange grease, called NIGLUBE RM (google -> Nippon Grease co jp)
They don't specify the thickner, its a "special type".
Copper grease has particles in it, very small but I don't know if that's good in the long run.
Usually copper grease is anti seize for threads, its not a real lubricant.
If its all you have, sure.
But its worth it to get high temp grease.

get some silicon grease, available at most auto parts stores, some places sell it as brake grease. The main thing is that it is compatible with rubber parts, thus the silicon content. I wouldn't use copper grease.
