Opinions on bearing grease?

[Shran]

Any old high temp wheel bearing grease will be fine... I'm using some stuff made by PB blaster right now, it was on sale at TSC for like a buck a tube. I'm also working my way through several small tubs of Pennzoil grease that I found in my grandpa's garage.

About the only thing I will just never use is the cheap black or worse, gray grease. Any colored high temp grease will turn black and you know it's contaminated...black just stays black, it can be full of metal and you'll never know because it's black.

I've used Morotcraft grease out of the same tube in my grease gun since 1975 with zero bearing failures except for the F150 I drove through 30 inches of water. It's not thick or sticky but it seems to hold up.

Thank you for all of the information! I think I’ll be going with one of the Lucas Oil greases.

You guys are awesome!

I have blue Mercury marine grease. It's what was suggested when I lived at the beach. My street flooded at high tide in spring.

Then it's not a street, it's a sand bar.

yeah, it is a sand bar , it was a costal island

I always wondered how you could own property on "land" like that. Federal law says all navigable waterways are held in public trust to the high water mark. So if you live somewhere that's underwater at high tide, aren't you on public land?

Lots of houses around here are like that. Just built on stilts and usually always some water under them.

I think the key part of that is going to be "navigable waterways", would you really consider a sandbar a Navigable Waterway?

IMHO you should always use grease.

The definition of a navigable waterway really doesn't mean large ships though, many streams are considered "navigable". From my understanding, if you can float down it on a raft, its "navigable".

I just brought it up cause I've been fighting with NJ beach front property owners and town councils over land rights for 2 decades. I feel I have the right to fish any beach in Nj if I stay below the high tide mark. They think they own the entire beach...
