Lucas Red N Tacky for wheel bearing grease
Has anyone had experience with Lucas Red N Tacky #2 grease using it for wheel bearings, I am getting ready to replace all of the bearings on my trailer and wanted to find a good grease to use.

X2 on spec's from axle manufacture... The info I have on mine stated the "base" type of grease and the min "dropping" point. I ended up with Walmart "Tech" something. More than meets OEM's spec's and available nation wide, so I don't have to worry about getting right stuff or carrying it when away from home.
In the past I also used "Fords" racing "high temp" $23.00 a tube stuff. Doesn't make a difference on trailer. Trailer axles are not that high temp of application.
If your happy with what grease you have and it meets OEM spec's for axle, go for it.
If you can't sleep some night or real bored see https://www.nlgi.org/ tells you what all the tech stuff is about dropping points, type of base etc. And also bear in mind a lot of grease and oils are "snake oil". Some manufactures put more into advertising than research.
