Grease (Where can I find it?)

Okay, so I am all ready to lube up my ride, uh, so to speak.
But I can not find the two correct different greases':

-NLGI No. 2 Lithium Base Chassis Grease (for universal joint)
-NLGI No. 2 Molybdenum Disulfide Lithium Base Chassis Grease (for slide yoke & double cardgan joint)

I find a lot of Moly based grease, but not the two different ones. Can anyone help? I want to use the two different ones cause That's what Toyota says to use.

I might catch hell for it, but I just use one grease on all of it: Valvoline SynPower. Its a red grease (says its for import and domestic) that works on disk brake bearings, ball joints, ect.

Anyone know if there is much of a difference between the two greases listed above?

I hope the different grease requirements are for newer Taco's and not old Pickups! I just put in what ever my step dad has in the gun at the time.

Yes, older trucks have the 2 different grease requirements as well, but I've been using only moly grease in my '93 4Runner for years and nothing has gone wrong ........ yet

It is tough to know what to use sometimes. I use Amsoil full synthetic grease for all the lube points on my runner. It's rated NLGI #2. You can read more here

I've used it for years in many different vehicles. Always works great, particularly in extreme temperature conditions. More info at the Amsoil link below.

Well, after some hard work I find that my ol' Amsoil has exactly what I'm looking for. :pat:
