Default Redline CV grease

Anybody have any first hand experience with this?? I do not prefer aftermarket reman axles- I like to rebuild OEM axles personally and have always used the regular CV grease Honda gives you in their kits.

Anyways, I'm curious to see if anyone has used this? It's not too spendy and may help save some joints after some serious driving. I'm currently setting up an H4/ITA Civic EF chassis and am planning a few small details, like such

Any input would be great, otherwise I'll just try the stuff out and see how it goes.

I know Marty at Raxles.com prefers the Amsoil stuff over Redline. I think he said something about the Amsoil stuff not deteriorating as quickly after multiple and extreme heat cycles (a al glowing brake rotors...) Every time I've used one of his axles its lasted until the boot has broken and the grease evacuated and/or contaminated. Every time I've used anything else, its broken prematurely.

i've had some good conversation with Marty, he's really smart, and we've talked about the CV grease being AMSoil as well, so i'd take a shot at that, i really like AMSoil

I'll have the amsoil a shot. I haven't had a problem with OEM grease on street cars and track day cars...but a full out race car is a different story. Thanks for the input fellas
