Are you a self lubricator?

[rodster]

So I looked in the owner's manual for a grease recommnendation and found it. Problem is, the GM spec numbers don't match anything at the parts store.

I found grease in blue (lithium generic), red (don't know what's in it) and black (graphite + other ingredients) cartridges. Any suggestion which is best? And is the warning on the grease cartridges about not mixing grease types to be believed?

Thanks much!

The grease is for the truck, BTW.

I use a GM/Chrysler Multi-Purpose Grease from Valvoline.
I also look for a Grease, that will with stand water crossing.

Are all the grease locations in the owners manual too?

Thanks for the tips guys.

Klaus -- Is it okay to mix the Mobil grease with the factory grease? This is the truck's first lube. Any old parts store sell it?

VT -- Lube locations here.

Yes, indeed. Scandalous headlines draw more readers ...
