increases bearing life and equipment reliability. It also makes bearings run smoother, cooler and quieter.


Yes, I saw that but it doesn't say high speed bearings. That line may refer to low to medium speed bearings. Auto wheel bearings are considered high speed bearings? No?
 
I've used it on new boat trailer bearings,they've been fine.It'll work perfect for regular wheel bearings on a vehicle as NLGI #2 is the primary wheel bearing recommendation.

Not quite. GC is the National Lubricating Grease Institute certification for wheel bearing grease. (LB is the chassis lube, and many greases are marked LB-GC.) The #2 is the consistency of the grease. #1 is softer and #3 is firmer. #000 is almost liquid and #6 is solid.
