EP 00 refers to the NLGI viscocity grade (EP=extreme pressure, the numbers refer to its relative viscocity, eg. EP 00, EP 0, EP 1, EP 2, etc. The higher the number the higher the viscocity)

00 grease is usually referred to as Snapper grease in the mower repair business. Used in the old rear end Snapper chain cases. The peerless transaxles normally used either 80W90 or Bentonite grease.
