What type of grease do I need to lubricate my prop u/j's ?

wilkingj - 30/3/09 at 12:23 PM

I use standard Lithium wheel bearing grease.

Castrol LM because it's what I have. Use it for wheel bearings and everything that spins, lithium high melting point grease.

I have a grease gun full of Castrol Moly Grease (lithium base) , is that suitable?
- Use it for trailer wheel bearings mainly.

Moly is fine also -- main thing is to keep enough grease in it the water out
