There are three main specs for CV grease.  One is a sticking ability, next
is high pressure and next is temperature range for maintaining its sticky
ability.  

  The Valvoline in tubes is at NAPA but they don�t have the cans and they
couldn�t figure out why even after calling the regional warehouse.

Found the valvoline one pound cans at Advance Auto.  They just put in a new
store nearby.  Had both the synthblend and the full synth in stock on the
shelf.  Also checked out their inventories and books on greases as well.
Found nothing in their books for CV unless it was a RED grease (synth or
blend) regardless of brand.  My quaker state is also only available in a
blend now if used for CV axels.
