I watched the video on greasing the wheel bearings, but it didn't say what kind of grease. Synthetic or real? I have switched to synthetic on my antique vehicles.

We use lithium high temp, I am guessing it falls in the synthetic fold..

Would the Lucas Red 'n' Tacky grease be good for this application? It's what I use to grease up the hitch ball and WDH bars (where they connect into the head).

The OP on the post below posted the Lippert grease specs.

I use Pennzoil 707L.

Also a really interesting discussion... :-)

I agree with the use of Pennzoil Premium Wheel grease 707L (Lithium). The Lippert maintenance manual says on page 6 that you can use Rolex MP or Kendall L-427 as well as Valvoline Val-Plex EP grease. What they also say is not to mix the different greases. The Pennzoil 707L is superior in my opinion and its readily available everywhere.
