A good start would be what is listed in the WSM. I don't have mine right now. Do a search on this and other forums, i'm sure there is plenty of opinions.....kind of like the best oil argument.

I haven't needed to assemble anything in the 944 requiring assemkbly lube. That said I have used Sta Lube in several other engines. It's recommended by many engine builders.

Sta-Lube is not at all bad stuff, but I am using Redline these days...



They also have a more liquid version I've been happy with too, looks like raspberry syrup...
