Plastic gears or metal?

If the grease will come in contact with plastic, or the diff gears are plastic, use a plastic safe grease. Otherwise, not too many restrictions. All the excess will get flung off like gotnitro said, so use something that will still leave a good film on the gears for lubrication.

Super lube is an excellent synthetic grease. It’s safe for plastic and doesn’t stink like red and tacky. As mentioned before, use minimal grease on the ring gear and input gear, just smear it into the ring gear teeth all the way around.
