Default grease for energy suspension

I would like to know what kind of grease comes with the kit so I can get more from the local DIY store.
Im sure any grease will work but I dont want to put something on the bushings that could cause them to prematurely deteriorate.
Thanks

Actually, I've never seen anything like the ES lube. That stuff is sticky as hell. They sell a big tub of the stuff for about $10-$15. Why not stick with the original?

I'm sure you could use a substitute, but I doubt it would work as well.

you can use silicon grease not rtv. or you can use dielectric grease. dont use any petroleum oils or greases thats what breaks rubber/plastics prematurely

I want to make sure to lubricate them throughly and one of the tubes from the kit is missing. The last thing I want is to have a squeaky ride and have to take the dam suspension back apart.
