i know this isn’t too exciting, but necessary for getting to the lake. any way we’ve covered engine oil and out-drive oil to death but haven’t heard too much on bearing greases. i’m wondering what people prefer or don’t prefer and maybe some websites so that i might be able to do some research on what the manufacturer claims.

I've been sold on RedLine stuff since my <gulp> jetskiing and snowmobileing days. I love the stuff and use all the oils lubes and greases they have. Never had any problems and i can honestly say with their engine and two stroke oils i have noticed a difference in the way things run and in the seat of the pants feel!!!

Dean,

I like the RED grease. NAPA sells it and StaLube manufactures some variety as well. The RED grease is very water resistant and has I high drop point. Very good for wheel bearings.

I'll be darned if I can remember the brand name.
I get it at Pep Boys, it's meant for trailers, light blue in color.
I used to use it on my old 4WD Bronco II's wheel bearings. It really kept the water out of the bearings and in 80k miles of use it never failed me. I fugured if it worked for me for all those miles before, it should be good for my trailer.

I know it's not high tech or a name brand, but damn it works.

Love That NAPA Red!

I have been selling bearings now for 28 years.

Most all greases and lubricants today are very good in quality. We sell many bearings over the counter daily for trailers, automobiles and class 8 trucks. However the real test comes from our industrial customers that have bearings running in severe conditions 24/7. We listen closely to what they have to say and make our recommendations on what works for them.

The two best greases we have found are Mystik JT-6 and Permatex Super Lube.

I have used the JT-6 for twenty years now and it is great. It is made by Cato in Oklahoma and sells for around $3.00 per 14oz tube. However I have switched to the synthetic Super Lube because it is totally none effected by fresh water or salt water. It sells for around $6.00 per tube and is second to none we have found.

Be careful with red greases. Most companies use the red color to designate High Temp grease which is designed for bearings running in applications over 200 degrees F. Most wheel bearings are only going to hit 140 to 160 degrees F on the hottest days. A high temp grease is very stiff and will not provide the proper lubrication on low temp applications, especially on cold days.

Hope this helps out.

I have had great luck with Schaeffers grease 238#2 this is the stuff I use in all my bearings in trailers or equipment. the web site is Schaeffers lubricants.com??? something like that .. the most important thing is to get the right grease for your application ..like the post before mine said..good luck

call south florida trailers ask for rob in parts we sell a pink grease we put in are trailers 954-966-0580

I'm not one of the normal Amsoil guys, but this is one instance where I do use their products, they make a waterproof grease that is darkblue/green that works very good for trailer wheel bearings, there was a noticeable lowering of the bearing temps on my trailer.
