I repacked the idler for the alt belt on my 2000 Chrylser Concorde with it yesterday. It seemed to have increased drag while spinning by hand. This surprised me since it is NLGI 1.5. Maybe after it runs some it won't or it doesn't have drag at speed.

I also found it is used in wheel bearings or driveshafts on F1 cars. Maybe since it is for high load, low speed rollers, it is used on CV joints or splines.

Actually, if you look at the above website again and highlight the engine area it says they use the following:

Mobil 1
Mobil 1 SHC
Mobil SHC 220

The Mobil 1 is naturally the oil.
Mobil 1 SHC is gear oil.
Mobil SHC 220 is the grease.

I use the SHC 220 as my grease of choice.
 
Highlight the LF wheel and it says SHC 220 and SHC 1500 for the wheel bearings and driveshafts. I don't know if that means they use both for these areas, or SHC 220 for wheel bearings and SHC 1500 for driveshafts.

You can highlight the transmission too.
 
My bad. 220 for the wheel bearings and 1500 for the driveshafts.

I've never tried the 1500 as I have never had a need for a NLGI 1 grease. I use the 220 for wheel bearings, ball joints, tie rod ends, u-joints, etc. Even use it to grease the garage door opener tract and my lawn mower wheels. Great grease.

Where do you find SHC 220?

How does the Mobil 1 Synthetic Grease compare? I need to start thinking about repacking my front wheel bearings on my Mercedes.

Mobil 1 Synthetic Grease provides excellent protection against rust, corrosion and water washout. It's suited for wheel bearings, ball joint suspensions, steering linkages, and king pin and chassis lube points.

Benefits:

* Excellent resistance to rust and corrosion.
* Good shock loading protection.
* Excellent resistance to water washout.
* Outstanding lubrication over a wide temperature range.
 
Now, I'm a 100% grease retard, but I'm reading and learning so bear with me. I'm not sure if Oldwolf is asking or not, but SHC220 is a synthetic grease.

From the mobil 1 website -

*Mobilith SHC 100 is an antiwear and extreme pressure grease primarily recommended for higher speed applications such as electric motors, where reduced friction, low wear and long service life are required. It is an NLGI 2 Grade / ISO VG 100 grease with a synthetic base fluid. Its operating temperature range is -40º C* to 150º C.

*Mobilith SHC 220 is a multi-purpose, NLGI 2 extreme pressure grease recommended for heavy-duty automotive and industrial applications. It uses an ISO VG 220 synthetic base fluid. Mobilith SHC 220 has a recommended operating temperature range of -40º C* to 150º C.

*Mobilith SHC 221 is a multi-purpose, extreme pressure grease recommended for heavy-duty automotive and industrial applications, particularly where centralized grease systems are utilized. It uses an ISO VG 220 synthetic base fluid. Mobilith SHC 221 has a recommended operating temperature range of -40º C to 150º C.

*Mobilith SHC 460 is an NLGI 1.5 Grade grease with ISO VG 460 synthetic base fluid and is an extreme pressure grease recommended for tough industrial and marine applications. It provides outstanding bearing protection under heavy loads at low-to-moderate speeds and in applications where water resistance is a critical factor. Mobilith SHC 460 has demonstrated outstanding performance in steel mills, paper mills and marine applications. The recommended operating temperature range is -30º C* to 150ºC.

*Mobilith SHC 1000 Special is an NLGI 2 Grade grease with ISO VG 1000 synthetic base fluid and strongly fortified with solid lubricants including 11% graphite and 1% molybdenum disulphide for maximum protection of plain or rolling element bearings operating under boundary lubrication regimes. This product is designed to extend bearing life under conditions of extremely slow speeds, heavy loads and high temperatures. Mobilith SHC 1000 Special has a recommended operating temperature of -20°C* to 150 °C with appropriate relubrication intervals.

*Mobilith SHC 1500 is an NLGI 1.5 Grade / ISO VG 1500 grease with a synthetic base fluid. It is intended for use in plain and rolling element bearings operating at extremely slow speeds, under heavy loads and high temperatures. Mobilith SHC 1500 has a recommended operating temperature range of -20 ºC* to 150 ºC with appropriate relubrication intervals. Continuous lubrication with Mobilith SHC 1500 has been very effective in prolonging bearing life in a severe roll press application. Mobilith SHC 1500 has also provided excellent performance in rotary kiln roller bearings and in slag transfer rail car bearings.

*Mobilith SHC 007 is an NLGI 00 Grade / ISO VG 460 grease with a synthetic base fluid; it has a recommended operating temperature range of -50º C to 150 º C with appropriate relubrication intervals. Its primary uses are in grease filled industrial gear cases subject to high temperatures, where conventional semi fluid greases will not provide acceptable lubricant life and in non-driven heavy-duty truck trailer wheel hubs.
