Recommend some heavy duty waterproof grease for head bearing, etc.

[ADVUSA]

What can you recommend available in the USA for heavy duty waterproof grease.

I originally ordered Valvoline Moly-Fortified Gray Full Synthetic   however there are reports on reviews of separation and liquid!

You could try this grease and it will work.  Available at Amazon.com but you could buy some at your local automotive store.

 

Sorry! Something went wrong!

 

I use this product and it works well. Available on Amazon.ca

Always funny to read about waterproof grease, ever tried to just rinse any grease off with just cold water?

There are 2 types of waterproof bearing grease, one is to have a reason to make it more expensive and the other is for use in really harsh environments like drilling platforms but that type has other additives depending on the use but you have to think extra high pressure, heat, acid's and whatever can give problems.
I use a simple SKF bearing grease which just says "bearing grease".
The reason why the grease disappears is pressure washing and not just rain or wading, if that's the case reaply grease but ad new seals as well because bad seals  are more likely to be the cause if it is not pressure washing.

Some good points!  Thanks.

agreed. Definitely the worst idea to save money the manufacturers ever had, removing grease nipples. They make maintenance so much easier ( and more likely to be done).  Got them all over the 1vj.

I wonder if they make more money selling new bearings and axis pins/bushes to us

Any quality EP2 grease will do the job.

I use a lot of Castrol EPL2. Good grease for tractor, trailer & bike wheel bearings.
