    I have looked through a lot of threads where people talk about what grease they like for the drive shaft zerks, but does anyone know what brand Toyota uses?I'm debating on what grease i want to use and i am curious to find out what brand of grease Toyota uses on these trucks. I have tried to search for this information and have come up with nothing. All my previous trucks were GM trucks and i was able to easily locate a part number for the grease i needed and purchase it at the dealership, doesn't seem this easy with Toyota.

    If you grease the drive shaft every year like they recommend in the maintenance booklet, it likely won't matter which brand of grease you use, as long as it meets the spec. Pick one that doesn't stink. :)
