Yes you can....It would be easier to get some for your grease gun and just hit the zerks.

I use a silicone grease (About $3 a tube) that doesn't seem to wash out easy in water.

marine grease would be good, like for prop shafts or for trailer wheel bearings, if you plan on driving through alot of water, otherwise normal black chasiss or multi purpose would be best and is lower cost

normal yellow wheel bearing grease is for resisting up to 500 degrees, your driveshaft is not gonna get to 500 degrees,.......

i wouldnt use it personall,y but up to you....

I run marine grease on mine, seems to work allright. Haven't had a problem yet.
