Best wheel bearing grease
How is Lucas Red N Tacky for wheel bearings?? The specs say the drop point is 540 degrees and this is above Dexters recommended range. Anyone know of a better type??

Lippert says to use a lithium-based grease. They have a PDF with grease specs and recommended greases that don't appear to be synthetic. Lippert also says to coat the outside of bearings with a Permatex sealant.
Approved Greases:
Mobil Oil - Mobilgrease HP
Exxon/Standard - Ronex MP
Kendal Refining Co. - Kendall L-427
Ashland Oil Co. - Valvoline Val-plex EP Grease
Pennzoil Prod. Co. - Premium Wheel Bearing Grease 707L
I hope you mean coat the outside of the seal where it meets the drum
with Permatex. I don't want permatex on my bearing surface.
X2, I'm sure he meant seal, not bearing.:W
