2009 Rogue 200,000 miles.
The bellows on the rack and pinion split. I plan to replace them during the holidays.
While I have the bellows off, I want to put a bit of grease on the teeth/gears.
What kind of grease should I use?

Nissan specifies Molywhite LSG or equivalent. It's on ST-15 right below the diagrams:

Pretty much any moly grease good for steering applications will do fine. For the most part we use Mobilgrease Moly 52.

I went to 4 different stores and none of them had those 2 types or brands.
Is there any good substitute? Attached is a photo of grease in one store...

From what it says for applications on the O'Reilly website, I'd say the Masterpro EP Moly should work fine.
