Can Copper Grease Be Used in Trailer Hubs
Question:
hi. I packed my boat trailer wheel bearings with copper based grease. I filled the rest with lithium based grease. Will this be o.k. Thanks

Expert Reply:
Copper grease is an anti-seize compound and not a lubricant so I cannot recommend you use it for your boat trailer hubs.
Instead I would recommend you go with Red grease like part # L11390 as this is the highest quality grease for trailer hubs. It resists water and heat better than multi-purpose grease.
