Default Oem honda high temp grease or another?

Im about to put my new flywheel, clutch, clutch guide etc in this weekend. Helms calls for honda high temp grease on some of the parts going back in. Since alot of us use oem parts instead of aftermarket, what do you guys use? Oem honda high temp grease or just any high temp grease?

I would use the Honda stuff, a friend used a random high temp grease and his clutch felt like garbage after a few months

Also be sure to follow the service manual and fill the TOB groove with grease

You have to specify high temp urea grease. $13/jar sounds right.

I have used universal "high temp" bearing grease on lots of other clutch jobs. The only problems I see are from people using anti-sieze grease compounds instead of lubricating grease. :facepalm:

However....polyurea grease seems to stay slippery for longer, be less viscous, and require a thinner film. I'd use Honda urea grease for sure. It works a lot better. Its $13. You'll have the jar for other jobs. I've had the same $13 jar for years now. I use it on all the clutches I do.

Don't skimp on the grease with the s2000. This is also the same with the bearings.
