I have used StaLube brand 'black slimey' Moly-Graph grease on hundreds of CV
joints with excellent results.
the packages that come with the CV joints are not enough grease in my
opinion.  I have seen many 'dried up' CV joints ...from insuffecient amount
of grease I suspect.  It's almost like grease evaporates out of them over
time, especially the inner CV's next to the transmission.
  each grease gun size tube is 14 oz.  I probably put in  about 8 or 9 oz of
grease for each CV joint .....in the joint,itself, the boot, and the flange
'bowl'  areas.
