Is it all the same??? Manual for my 2001 trailer offers up 3 or 4 types, none of which I have found. As one local said to me, get a higher temp grease due to the more revs those smaller wheels do. If it is too thin it will seep out. This is in regard to posts i made in December. I just now pulled of a hub to inspect them. One is still on the trailer. The one I pulled off looked like it was sealed in the back, maybe with Permatex as someone suggested. Last season I found grease on the back of one of my rims. The other was clean. He also said that 'weep' hole might have been plugged and so the grease I was pumping in blew out the back seal. Anyhow, new season, new seals, new grease. Is grease the same, automotive or marine? Thanks, the greenhorn
