another forum I frequent is all about fuel economy one of the topics of discussion is wheel bearing grease.
Most of the members drive small underpowered front wheel drive cars from the early 90s. Most of those vehicles have tapered roller bearings in the rear axle.
In their contiuning effort to grasp at straws a few have taken to converting their greased rear bearings to a fluid bath. My thought was to go from a ngli #2 to a lower viscosity, like a #1 or even #0 ( #00 was rejected for being too thin to work with and for all intents one may as well go to oil bath at that point)
Anyone with any thoughts?
