Best ATV grease?

[OVERKILL]

Picked up a new quad and was considering what grease to use in it.

I have on hand:
- Mobil 1 synthetic grease (red)
- Amsoil synthetic grease (red)
- Petro Canada Precision synthetic multi-purpose grease

The Petro-Canada product lists strong wash-out resistance as one of its characteristics, which is important, given a fair amount of water traversal. I know AMSOIL makes a blue grease that is specific to applications that will get a ton of washout exposure as well.

Thoughts?

You want marine grease, unless your a pansy that does not get the ATV wet.

and always clean and repack, you think that grease in there is virgin?

Yes, it gets quite wet. Spent probably 30 minutes in the creek today for example.

Use on my boat trailer bearings as do a number of folks around here for many years - like the almost clear color too ...

I follow the same premise that I use for ATV engine and gear oil; doesn't matter what you use really, just change it often. I grease after every ride with whatever I pickup at the parts store.

+1 use this on the Raptor, and jet-ski & sled trailer wheel bearings. Can be found at most Tractor Supply stores.
