You can use the red grease # L11390 for trailer wheel bearings if you wanted. You can also use wheel bearing grease # L11465 which is designed for use on trailer running gear, including wheel bearings. It also has a slightly higher temperature rating, 520 degrees, compared to 510 degrees for the red grease.
When adding new grease you will need to make sure that the new grease is compatible with the old grease or remove the old grease completely. Incompatible greases can break each other down. I have included a link to the right to our help article on greases that should help.
