It's Lucas, I think it's junk personally. To each his own.

I'd rather have a warren or coastal made house brand.

Donnyj08 thanks for your feedback, however I've looked at some other grease specs sheet and this one looks almost similar to the other one ....Can you tell me what to look for in a spec sheet, ?

Now ok Lucas, you dont like but that must be supported by some evidence ? anyway the grease is on the travel trailer bearings at this moments....Hopefully I wont burn them all next outing ;-)

Used this grease on my parents 89' Suburban for the front wheel bearings, repacked the drivers side and hub/rotor replacement with new bearings on passenger side. No issues what so ever. Repair was done over 3 months ago .5k miles and still doing good. I wouldn't hesitate to use it again.

Thanks you Bud one, this grease seems to meet the spec of NLGI but there is nothing like real life experience,,,, and anyway I will not remove, rewash, repack all for travel trailer wheel hub and brg assembly now just because a gentleman here doesn't like the brand, he is maybe right though but i will take my chance ;-)

I used it in the Bug's front wheel bearings. Lasted a few years, until I had to drive through a deep puddle, which killed the bearings.

It's in my trailer's wheel bearings and spring bushings.

Thanks for sharing your experience ;-)
