A good quality high temp disk brake wheel bearing grease will work.
No cheap budget grease here please.

We use red high temp grease at the shop. $74.00 for a 5 gallon pail.

Since you are posting about grease sir...Do you have an option on the "Motor Kote" brand.
I have used the Oil additive in the engine and Diffs.. A nice improvement in mileage and lower temps all around.

I can say I trust the friction modifier but I don't know what quality grease they are putting it in..

Mike.
