I couldn't find a thread on here anywhere about wheel bearing grease.

Anyway, I need some suggestions about what type to use - synthetic or what - for track use.

My car is used mainly for lap days - the longest sessions are 20 -25 minutes on the Mosport GP track which is about 2.5 miles long.

Thanks

What kind of car? 4th gens you can't repack them at least as far as I'm aware...just replace when you notice they start to get loose. I don't know if there is a 'race' bearing for it like the C5s or not...but I do not think so.

As for the others, Moblie 1 syn. grease seems to hold up pretty good, RedLine also makes some and I want to say there is a CV grease out there but I can't remember the name of it. There are some exotic grease's out there but for most normal people those get the job done.

Sorry, I forgot to mention it's an 83 thirdgen with iron calipers. The hubs/rims get pretty warm so I was concerned about having good grease in there.

The car has 17" Ronal Hawk rims which are not the best design for cooling. Actually they're a lousy design because they interfer with the calipers on any of the big brake conversions so the best I can do is probably going to be 1LE.

So, Mobile 1 syn should be OK then?? It's not like it's being raced really hard but running on the track 20 minutes at a time is getting up there.

I've been using the Valvoline synthetic stuff, but really don't have much to compare it to. I guess anything new that has a good name on the label will be fine.
