Yeah, NLGI #2 works fine for u-joints.
Everyone has their own preference for what brand/type. I use Castrol Pyroplex Blue:

Thanks, Mike. Yes, I have had them replaced. I only put about 8-10K a year on the vehicle, but change the oil every few months, regardless of mileage. I want to get into the habit of lubricating the u-joints myself, as well as this summer when I am in the eastern Sierra and Nevada.
Thanks,
Dave

Yes, that sounds about right. I just had the shafts rebuilt and want to start doing the service myself. I run synthetic oil, so may let it go a little longer than 3 months between changes, but want to be diligent about the u-joints.
