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

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.
