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??

Well yes, of course marketing plays a roll. I know that Ford does not manufacture Motorcraft oil, or filters, and Yamaha, and Polaris do not make their own oil, or grease. I do think these items are made to meet the standards of the company they are supplying.
I would have to think, that Timken is going to protect their reputation, when putting their name on a wheel bearing grease.
I don't think that a manufacturer can deny a warranty claim, if their name brand fluids are not used. If a proven inferior product was used, maybe??
I consider garyp4951 a standup knowledgeable guy, and he says the Timkin grease will not leak or drip (possibly separate), suggests good quality. FTG, is also knowledgeable, and uses this product, knowing Timkin would not put their name on an inferior product.
While two products, side by side, could be same (??), I'd be willing to pay a little more for one that is branded Timkin, Motorcraft, Yamaha, Honda, etc.
I know "a fool and their money, are soon parted" but I think I'll still be alright, at the end of the day.
