    the oil is synthetic 0-20wt SN PLUS .........change the oil around 10k miles change the oil filter media and grease the drive shafts .rotate the tires and inspect the brake pads. look the rear diff gear oil if it clean good .. if its dark cloudy change it ..75-85 gear oil ..inspect the air filter .

    Anyone know if this is acceptable for greasing the driveshaft? Manual says it has to be lithium based nlgi no.2 Valvoline Crimson.

    sorry if this is a dumb repetitive question

    Yes it matches the spec you mentioned above. NLGI 2. It the packaging had NLGI 1 then it would be a no. You can even use it for the prop shaft. They do recommend one with moly for the prop shaft but the one you have will work too and acceptable.
