Tom,I am a fan of Mystik grease. Always used in my combines and tractors.
It is great for bearings but not so much for u-joints. I found that the spinning u-joint makes a grease cavity and limits the lube to the joint and will not migrate well to the driveshaft bearing. This is especially true with sealed transmission bearings.I use molly grease mixed with 600W so it just flows off a screwdriver. I will be switching to John Deere corn head grease when I tour as it is convenient. It is a flow able grease also.
