Drive shaft (propellar shaft) grease zerk fittings - 4WD (TRD ORP)

I imagine the answer is "yes," but does anyone know if the this grease from Amsoil will be good for both the u-joints and slip yokes? I buy a bunch of stuff from Amsoil and if this is just as good (or better) than anything else out there for this purpose, I figure I'd like to stick with Amsoil.

"Heavily fortified with moly for maximum wear protection."

No, the moly content would negatively affect the little needle bearings in the u-joints. You need the plain, non-moly stuff in the u-joints/spiders.

Any grease is better than old grease, and you don't need anything more fancy than the $6-8 red & tacky stuff every 10k mi.

I really didn’t pay much attention to the Zerk fittings when I changed the differential and transfer case fluids. I guess I will be doing this along with taking a look at spark plugs this weekend.

let us know about the spark plugs mileage and gas pump rating you mainly used. i would like to see what they look like.

i know not a great comparison (apple to oranges) but here is my spark plugs from my 2014 after ~106k miles using 87 w/ethanol, these were the original spark plugs from factory.
