Default Thinking of using Motul 300 Tech grease to regrease struts, any thoughts?

Going to be replacing bumpstops in front soon and wondering how the Motul 300 Tech grease is for regreasing the struts? I'm curious how the o-rings and seals will fair, the bottle says for extreme pressure and also that it is a lithium complexe. Any tips on regreasing?

EP usually means sulphur which is bad on some stuff.

Now with that being said we used Neo HP800 for the job and it's also an EP grease and seemed to work just fine.

With that being said - give it a shot.

I would use Mobil 1 bearing grease. Many on here have used it and the last works for a while.

Myles, would that be a decent general-purpose grease for not only struts/coilovers, but re-greasing swaybar bushings, etc.?
