I've not really researched grease much. I've
been using Mobil 1 Grease for the past 10 years
or so, and have had no problems, but I expect
that would be true of any premium grease. I am
about to repack the wheel bearing of my Impala
and am wondering if Mobil 1 is the best choice
for an OTS grease. So, how do these numbers look?
