FYI Losmandy generally recommends a synthetic grease, preferably that has teflon, and meets your temperature range requirements. We use jet-lube MP-50 low friction moly paste. we do not recommend lithium grease

Nels,
You do not need to use anything other than a single grease if you pick the correct one. SuperLube with Teflon uses a pure synthetic base oil and will not run when hot or get stiff when cold. You can try it and see for yourself, put a dab on a spoon in the freezer for a few hours and when you touch it it will be just as soft as when at room temperature. Take that spoon with grease and heat it up in the oven set to 150F degrees, it will not puddle and run off. You want to use the light NLG1 rated synthetic base version not the silicone based grease even though it is a slightly better base oil. Silicone is impossible to clean in a household environment and is a source of serious contamination that keeps migrating all over your work space and you cannot get rid of it without bad chemicals, trust me on this. Or just Google silicone contamination, it is insidious if you paint, solder etc.?
