Not trying to endorse any brand, most manufactureres will have a molybdenum disulfide grease which is what you need to put in your CV's. Many will be marked as CV grease.

Read your manual, I think they recommend 91g grease per CV. It's a lot more than you think, but perserverance will get it all in and be better for your CV's.

When I had a Magna with front CVs....
The boots split and the new boots came with tubes of so called CV grease.....
I still have them... I used Lithium based MOLY grease and twice as much as the tubes..... stopped the cvs from knocking too......
