molybdenum disulphide grease vs lithium grease

[Meshuggah]

Hello everyone,
I have at home some lithium grease but the manual specifies that I need molybdenum disulphide grease to replace the valve shim.
Do I really need to buy a new pot of grease or can I use the lithium one?
thanks.

I would use what is recommended for 2 reasons. First is the property of the product and second is cross contaminate to your engine oil. I use molybdenum on my axles when I change my tires. They pack CV joints in cars with it so I imagine is has superior properties under specific conditions.
