OEM CV boot kit which grease goes where ?
Ordered an OEM front CV boot replacement kit for a 2008 ls600hl (04427-50020) which came with two type of grease both dark colored labeled NKG302 (200g) and NTG2218-M (150g). I have seen NKG302 sold by Toyota and Subaru for the inner joint but at the same time for the ls600hl the outer joint boot is bigger so that would led me to believe the NKG302 is for the outer join boot for my car since there is more grease in the bottle. NTG2218-M looks more grayish and NKG302 more greenish and the grease that leaked from my outer joint are also more greenish.
Thanks for the help.
Edit: At first glance NTG2218-M looks to be a bit thinner than NKG302 - I've read that there is a saying which goes by: Thinner is inner ?

Thinner for inner yep. That said I find it ridiculous we have to use two types of grease I've been using Redline CV-2 in axles I re-boot so far so good.

NKG302 is made of inner joints and NTG2218-M is made for outer joints.
