Location: Elk River, Minnesota | My guess is he is talking about liquilube or an equivalent type of lubricating system. To be honest, systems like liquilube can be a great thing. The bearings are continually bathed in lubricant, Whether it is liquilube lubricant or oil bathed. The advantage of liquilube is that it can absorb a certain percentage of water and still protect the bearings. Then so long as there is no bearing play, you just drain, refill and you are done.
I do know the liquilube system has a clear cap to let you see lube level, and some people have had situations where the cap has cracked due to a rock or some other road hazard, and the do make protective covers for those as well.
If you have this kind of system, I'd say stay with it unless there is something majorly wrong with it.
