Friends,
For years I have been using Lubrimatic Marine Grease for boat trailer wheel bearings and outboard motor lubrication points. I have never had a failure in over 25 years using this grease in these applications. Lubrimatic Marine Grease is a calcium sulfonate based grease.
I recently bought a new fishing rig. The new trailer came from the factory with a lithium based grease for the wheel bearings. It has a E-Z Lube wheel bearing system with zerks.
Now my question: since the grease compatibility chart shows good compatibility between these two grease types, should I continue to use the Lubrimatic grease I like so well, or should I change to a lithium based grease for this application?
I have always been a believer in not mixing different based greases if it can be helped.
thanks
