What kind of chassis lubricant do I want?

[jbeall]

Hi All,

I want to lube the chassis on my 2003 Yukon XL. It's got 57k on it, and I'm the second owner so I have no idea when it was lubed last.

The manual says I should use "lubricant meeting requirements of NLGl #2, Category LB or GC-LB"

Does any grease that meets those specs work just fine, or is there anything in particular I should look for?

Amsoil sells 14oz cartridges of grease for $4.71 (if you're a preferred customer, which I am). Seems affordable enough, and it's synthetic.

Should I go for something else? I could save a few bucks by going with some Coastal grease, but I hardly care about a dollar or two difference--just want whichever grease is going to work best.

Josh,

I have Mobil 1 synthetic grease in my grease gun. But then again I also have Mobil 1 in the crankcase, front and rear diffs, and the transfer case.

Sta-Lube makes a good marine wheel bearing grease that has a higher rating for heat and moisture than their disc brake grease. It's conventional.

There's two choices for you. I don't know Amsoil.
