It's sort of a given here on BikeForums that folks will use anything but the factory lubrication in Sturmey-Archer IGHs.

Since 1984 S-A IGHs have been lubricated at the factories with NLGI #00 semi-fluid grease. S-A sells some under their part number and references a commercial brand, but really any NLGI #00 semi-fluid grease meets spec and will do.

Here's the one, the only, Aaron Goss starring in the official factory S-A video of taking apart and reassembling the S-A A2 hub.
