Whatever grease is handy, I figure.
What type of grease for angle gear on string trimmer/brushcutter?

Most Professional trimmers use NLGI #0.
My Shindiawa and Echo both did from factory.
Im not sure what NLGI grade my Husqvarna came with or whats in them today?
Yrs ago I saw its general purpose. (GP)
But inclosed gear boxes should use NLGI #0 it seems? The Nat grease chart recommends 0 for that app anyway? (1st link).
NLGI 0 will be a lube upgrade for Husqvarnas with GP. No issues on mine running "0" over 10yrs nearly 3 acres fwiw.

"Never" buy new grease by its Color.
