What can I use these greases for - Shell Alvania 2 & 3

[jamesd1972]

OK from a garage clear-out I've gained the below cans of grease. I've done a quick bit of googling but come back more confused. I have a suspicion that the Alvania 2 grease is a MS3 equivalent so I can use it for wheel bearings and the like but it would be good to confirm. Not at all sure what the Alvania 3 grease can be used for though.

Better to use them than just throw them out. Cool old tins anyway.

Best I could find,

Shell Alvania Grease RL2 A medium consistency grease designed, mainly, for general industrial lubrication. Ideal for centralised lubrication systems operating at normal temperatures.
Shell Alvania Grease RL3 A medium/hard high performance industrial grease, particularly recommended for the lubrication of electrical motor bearings.

I would say they would be just fine for most automotive uses.

Now replaced by Shell Gadus grease.

Looks like a lifetimes supply of bolt antiseize there!

MOS2 is molybdenum-disulphide , cv joints etc.

The other one looks like general grease (if a bit dry!)

Yes, its a bit better below the crust  !
Pretty sure the Land Rover won't mind the MOS2 on its wheel bearings !
