Modern day greases make temp issues and churning close to non-existent??? Where did you get that info? PLEASE VERIFY! I read recently that people can write down anything they want, so be sure to provide reliable sources for such a sweeping statement. Meanwhile, I’ll be out flag shopping. :)
You obviously chose to leave out the critical caveat in my statements of "AFAIK" which means what I said is what I understand and is not a fixed statement of fact.
Additionally AFAIK the introduction of grease formulations such as "MOLY" fortified greases have assisted in controlling not only high temp and churning, but moisture issues. While not proof positive the wide spread use of bearing buddies suggest that temp issues and grease churning is not a major concern in the application that we are talking about here which is wheel bearings which is a fairly "LOW SPEED" bearing IMO.
