Strange Dana 60 - what grease for zerks on axle tubes
Well, Strange Engineering is closed today. I have the wheels off my car because bleeding brakes sucks with this ABS system. 
I noticed the grease zerks on the axle tubes of my Dana 60 from Strange, and thought to myself, "self, its been ages since you squirted grease in there."
I looked through all my notes and I can't see anywhere where I wrote down what grease I am supposed to use...
Does anyone know? Is it regular bearing grease? general purpose grease? synthetic grease?
What is the general rule of thumb here? My gut says wheel bearing grease, but before I put a couple pumps in there, I want to make sure.
Muchas Gracias!

Re: Strange Dana 60 - what grease for zerks on axle tubes
For anyone searching this later on in life- I called Strange today when they opened and they informed me they don't even make Dana 60's with grease zerks anymore. But, he did say any wheel bearing grease is fine.
Also, greasing it once a season is also fine, as it doesn't need a ton of grease.
