Grease & Lurication (Late 'B)

[Eugene Balinski <eugeneb@nni.com>]

Listers,


   I am about to go through the spring lube ritual.  My
owners manual calls for "Multi-purpose Lithium 
grease, NLGI Consistency 2" for all of the grease
points.  What is the meaning of "NLGI" and what
is meant by consistency 2 ?  Is there a US equivalent ?

   What about newer moly based grease ?  Is is better ? 
I had heard that it is bad to mix moly and lithium 
grease.  Is this true ?  

Thanks as always.  Cheers,
