I think any good grease will work . . . the spec for moly is mostly for its high pressure qualities. Important thing for many grease types is not to mix base types, as some greases don't work well when mixed with other greases (e.g. lithium base with clay base etc) - - I'm no expert here. Good practice, especially when switching grease types, is to pump away until the new grease cleanly is exiting the fitting. This is safe to on the fittings we're dealing with. In some apps, this can't be done, such as a spline shaft going into a blind hole or where grease seals should not be over pressured. In those apps there will be a restriction on how much grease should be inserted.
I use my finger to "scoop up" most of the excess grease, then paper towels to wipe the pivot/pin. Otherwise things get black and yucky in short order!
