They come from the factory with a lithium complex NLGI #2 grease. It is a pretty common grease. I use the Lubriplate 1200-2 which has a fairly high drop point at 400 degrees.

The amsoil will probably work, better than nothing thats for sure. I use a Valvoline Durablend from autozone. It works and has the same rating. I believe 1975stroppebaja on here used it in his tech articles as well.

It is not a lithium complex grease, it is a calcium sulfonate complex (and who knows what else) grease. It is best not to mix greases with different complexes.
