Location: Mt. Zion, IL | Grease compatibility, bearing preload, seal failure, water emulsification could all cause high heat that would do that.
If that meticulous, I would suspect different grease from one year to the rest. Grease is not grease and should be kept the same anytime possible. A good lithium complex grease with a 220 wt oil is what I would use. Mobil SHC 220 would be a great choice IMO. Most marine greases are lithium base. Lucas Red ‘N Tacky would be my 2nd choice if you’re buying at a mark or automotive store. |
