Is there a Specific Temperature Rating Needed for Wheel Bearing Grease on a Trailer
Question:
Is there a temperature rating that I should adhere to when selecting a wheel bearing grease ? I have a tandem axle bunk trailer that needs to be submerged when launching/retrieving, so the marine grease seems to be correct. However some of the brands have different temp ratings.

Expert Reply:
As long as the wheel bearing grease you use is appropriate for the application, in this case marine grease is ideal # 30-800 and # L54FR, then the temperature rating will be rated appropriately as well. There isn't one specific temperature rating or range to adhere to as long as the grease can be used with wheel bearings and is compatible with any old grease in the hubs.
I have included a link to our help article on grease that also has a compatibility table.
