I'm going to be installing my differential and CV axles today on my 525i, and will regrease the areas that were, well, greased.

Any type that needs to be used in particular? I was planning on just picking up a tube of standard axle grease in the auto parts store unless anyone has a better idea. With how much I've spent on this project, itll probably be the cheap stuff as well.

WalMart sells it in tubes in their boat/trailer/automotive section labeled correctly as MoS2 (molybdenum disulfide).
