Ed, thanks for the link.
They're inviting someone to be the first to submit  a testimonial for
DuraBlend on that site.
Sounds like that would be you !

Subject: What is the best grease for CV joints?

> What is the best grease for CV joints?
>
> It goes without saying that it is imperative to use the proper
> molybdenum enhanced high-temperature CV joint specified EP (extreme
> pressure) grease in constant velocity joints.  Regular grease should
> never be used.  It's also important not to mix molybdenum enhanced
> grease with regular grease because it will cause increased corrosion.

> So, what is the best type of CV joint grease?  I have been greasing CV
> joints for more than 36 years on my personal cars and my experience is
> that Valvoline DuroBlend synthetic grease is superior to any regular,
> non-synthetic, molybdenum enhanced CV joint grease I have ever used.  I
> have used it to reinstall CV joints that were damaged in 30k miles with
> traditional CV joint grease, showing significant galling and pitting.
> On reinspection of the same joints 70K later I found they had no
> additional wear evident and I reinstalled them after regreasing and they
