Getting surface planer back up and running

After a bit of a hiatus, I'm getting ready to make sawdust again. I'm
reading over the manual for my Delta 13" planer, and it recommends "extreme
pressure lithium grease" to lubricate the gears. Where is one likely to
find such grease? Wal-Mart? Auto parts store? Ace Hardware? Dedicated
tool store?

It was the wrong link. The proper link for some reason never copied
into my clipboard. It should have been:

For the exact fit, a Delta authorized repair facility. After that, like
Robert mentioned, automotive "disk brake" wheel bearing grease. IIRC this
is a common lube in the boating industry.

I'd use lithium-based wheel bearing grease from the auto parts store...
