The grease that comes on the Trailer Axle with Idler Hubs # e82GR is a Lithium complex, multipurpose grease. To add grease to this application through the EZ Lube zerk fitting I recommend using LubriMatic Multi-Purpose Lithium Grease # L11315 which you will install using a grease gun like the LubriMatic # L30200.
