This is interesting.
What's the part #?


The proof of the pudding is in the eating......

So.. does it taste like brown mustard (NLGI 0) or tomato paste (NLGI 1)
Or does it taste like peanut butter (NLGI 2)

Is there any info on the back?

Yea the grease seems to be thin, I can tell by touching it. The redline grease seems to be way thicker now that I compare it.

We can argue forever about the food analogy:
"No! It's like the thick original ketchup my mother used to make...... so its NLGI #2!"


There is little to argue about the thickener.
Polyurea thickeners make high quality grease.
to your dealer for having this in stock.

They do not go to an autoparts store and use general CV grease where they should not.

I ordered proper NLGI1 grease for the CVs and will be repacking them this weekend
It is like the OEM grease, creamy thin.
