Default Grease options

Doing some repairs and maintenance on my LD2 today. When I assembled the kit, it used some red lithium (supplied in kit) in several areas. I want to re-lube those areas while working on it, but I'm out. Not near a hobby shop to by hobby branded stuff. Would Mobil 1 Synthetic grease (says it's lithium) work? I can get that at the local auto parts store (link to product page). If not that, other recommendations?

The local hardware store has been a game saver for small parts like grease, solder, screws, nuts, tape, o-rings, etc. All these small parts are too much of a pain to get shipped when in a tight spot or you only need a single screw or nut. My favorite tip has been finding o-rings on amazon and buying a 100 pack set for the price of a rebuild kit. Rebuild shocks after every jump!!!!

Thanks all. I used some of the Mobil One Synthetic Grease and seems fine.

I no longer use green grease and have been using white lithium grease for everything that needs grease, very simple and effective
