I buy grease in cases too. In a perfect world I'd have one grease for everything but that's just not the case for me (pun intended).The use of moly grease/EP2 is just a 'recommended in the FEL manual, Not a requirement!! I've been a mechanic most of my life, to include 11 years of as a crew chief working on 45 million dollar helicopters. I buy grease in cases/bulk, the Shell grease is about $20 more per case, and meets the Kubota verbiage of a "high quality grease". If the Shell High Performance Multipurpose Lithium Extreme Pressure Grease, is good enough for the SVL 75-2 skidsteer that has higher break out force than my tractors, I think its perfectly suitable for using it on the FEL of my tractors.
Like others said, grease brand/specs is a preference.... any use of grease is better than no grease!
Holy crap! What kind of helicopter costs $45M? A couple of friends up here are pilots and own or co-own aircraft and it's amazing to me how much money is buzzing around the skies. They've told me that an electronics upgrade can easily cost $100k or more and that could be on a 50 year old Cessna or something.
