HIWIN Grease

From section 7 of the Hiwin lubrication manual it looks to me like you need an EP1 type grease for standard applications and EP2 for heavy duty.

Grease cross reference chart. http://papadopoulos-sa.com/pdfs_libr...ence_Sheet.pdf

I like the look of the SKF LGEP2 or SKF LGMT2 here for example http://simplybearings.co.uk/shop/adv...grease&x=0&y=0

Does anyone have a recommendation for grease make/type ?

Edit: Cheaper alternative ? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LITHIUM-EP...item1c26c58f14
