I use wheel bearing grease. Not sure if it is internet approved. It doesn't melt.

Possibly melt was a poor choice of wording. And not everyone goes out and buys xyz premium spaceshuttle lithium grease.
Sure is funny that grease liquifies and drips from grease guns on an normal summer day.
And were not all talking to and about people who routinely maintain their hubs. Most who will read this could care less about their hubs and bearings.

The turning bearing will actually keep that from happening since it keeps the oil in suspension by the rotation of the bearing. Just like oil and water, let it sit and the oil will rise, keep it agitated and it will disperse, somewhat, in the water.

If you just pack the bearings and leave the large void in the hub greaseless, the grease in the bearing will get hot,melt and run to this void in the hub.

I just pulled mine at 10 years and maybe 35,000 miles... grease was still just fine on the cheepo bearings and all looked good.
