When changing my back tire and before I reinstall the wheel, I like to put lube / grease on the gear set. Normally use Honda Moly paste. But would this be okay:

Thank You in advance!
Conventional wisdom says yes, but I seem to remember that assembly lube doesn't last and is meant just for the first start up in an engine since first start up is dry and when the oil goes it just washes the assembly lube off. ( I could be wrong here) just double checking myself.
This Bel Ray assembly lube with moly is 1/3 of the price as the Honda.
Edit, As I was:
just answered my own question but will not delete to save someone else the trouble....
The Bel Ray Assembly lube is more of a grease. The Honda m-77 assembly paste is more of a paste and will stick to parts better.
The Bel Ray is between 30 - 40% Molybdenum disulfide . the Honda M-77 is 60% molybdenum disulfide. Honda recommends at least 60% on their gear sets and splines.
I miss the Honda Moly paste when it came in the larger tube! Now they changed the name shrunk the tube size to 3 times smaller but kept the same price!!!
And other moly paste out there with at least 60% moly just as good and cheaper?
