Abstract: A lubricating composition is disclosed comprising a base oil of mineral and/or synthetic origin in combination with molybdenum disulfide, zinc naphthenate and one or more metal dithiophosphates, and optionally one or more metal dithiocarbamates. A lubricating grease comprising such a composition in combination with a thickener, which may be a urea compound, a simple lithium soap or a lithium complex, is particularly suitable for lubricating constant velocity joints such as constant velocity ball joints.
