What temperature? Does it need to be Food Grade?
Kytox works the best in high heat applications. Upside is that they have H2 formulations...Downside is that it is very expensive.

The only reason I asked about food grade is that it looks like something being cooked in the picture.
Food Grade good to 370*F - LE - 4025 H1 Quinplex
FG good to 750*F - Kem-A-Trix - Thermo-Gel - TG40750 (has a temp spread of -40*F to 750*F)
Most of the Automotive sythetics go to around 300*F

I'd go food grade... just sayin... You'll need H1 formula.
We have a lot of sucess with the Lubrication Engineers 4025 Quinplex

Check out Schaeffer's 271. It is an H1 grease that has an operating range of -40 to 500 degrees F and is bentone based. It retails for about 7 dollars per tube but you have to buy it by the case, which is 30 tubes. The other drawback is you have to completely purge the bearing of the old grease as bentone is not compatible with other greases.
If that is a problem then look at their 195 as this is good to 350 degrees F, 100% water proof, does not require a purge, and retails for about $6 although you have to buy at least 50 tubes per case.

Super Lube is food grade, clear white, and has a temp range of 450* F and seems very slick in your hand
Bentone (clay) based grease is good at higher temperatures. Silica based grease is good at even higher temperatures. The challenge for you will be finding small enough quantities--just a tube or two. Either type of grease in not compatible with anything else. The bearing will need to be completely cleaned before you use either of these types of high temp greases. I've used Chevron Sil-X silica based grease on the throttle valve shafts of steam turbines (950°F steam) and they operated smoothly and came apart easily after three years of service (the shafts did not get to 950).
I would take a look at the Redline CV2 grease.

McMaster-Carr is always a good choice. The prices are fair, the items are good, the service is excellent, and the selection is amazing. You're bound to find something else to add to an order--I needed four pins, added an Allen wrench I'd lost from my set, added a center drill, and added a couple of other small things that my local hardware store doesn't stock.

OK thanks, so what temps did the silica grease see, if not 950F?
