Hello all!
So I've been searching and can't find a good answer. I have multiple trailers that I own and service. I have couple boat trailers, a car hauler, and a snowmobile trailer. Right now I'm using Lucas Red N' Tacky for my bearings. I'm thinking of switching it up to Lucas Marine Grease for all my trailer bearings. As I do my standard bearing maintenance, I'll start transitioning them all to the marine grease. However, according to the data sheet, the operating temp is 0 to 250. So that won't work for my snowmobile trailer which sometimes gets run on sub zero temps... Is there a good marine grease that will work with all my trailers but also work in colder temps for the snowmobile trailer? I really just want to stick to one grease for all my bearings.
I guess it doesn't have to be a "marine grease"... I just need good water resistance and able to handle cold temps.
I was also looking into the Mystic marine and JT-6 general purpose grease but they only go to 0 degrees as well.
Do I have to worry about the low operating temp being 0? I mean after a few miles will the hub heat up enough to get properly lubricated by the grease? Seems like it would cause premature wear if I'm running a grease with a low point operating temp of 0 and it's -10 outside.
Thank You,
Dave
