I think technically its moly on the slip and lithium on the u-joints. I think the solid lubricant particles of molybdenum aren't optimal for the needle bearings in the u-joints. A lot of people just put a lithium grease in everything, but based on what I've read here, it doesn't seem to really matter. Any grease is going to be better than no grease imo.

3rd gen geasing guide, everthing probably applies to 4th: Drive/Prop Shaft Greasing Guide

4th gen geasing, I think post #5 has the type for each zerk: Greasing Driveshaft (4th Gen)
