CV Axle Grease

[Zafree]

I have noticed that one of the front axle boots on my xc70 is leaking. I'm going to take the axle apart and replace the boot, but I'm not sure what type of grease should i use? The original grease from Volvo is green. I assume that volvo does not sell it.
Any advice?

EP2 lithium grease for high temperatures can be used. You can get it in places like Halfords or Euro Car Parts.

For example;

This stuff is specifcally designed to be used in bearings and joints. I've used it before on a replacement CV axle on a Mercedes. Worked a treat.
