Can someone tell me what kind of grease is being used in the drill motor gear box?

Thank You!

We have used lithium grease for a number of years now with no troubles.

Don’t ‘pack’ the housing with the stuff by the way, it will only mean less efficient gearing. A little is good. A lot is not an improvement.
