What grease?

I know there is a couple of topics regarding this but they don't quite answer my question

I'm doing the manual locking hub conversion on my landcruiser prado and having a bit of trouble deciding what grease to use with my new wheel bearings.I see marine grade is probley the best as i will be doing the odd water crossing,But most of the marine grade greases i find are designed for trailor bearings and don't state vehicles.Is this the type? and where should i buy some?repco and supercheap didn't seem to stock much
Cheers
Rob

I use CV grease from BNT in my hubs, i've heard marine grease is too thick and heats up too much when used at high speed

Alltho i don't think my prado has a "high speed" option :lol:

I don't think you should have to worry about waterproof grease, water shouldn't be in there anyway :wink:

If that's the sticky orange one then that's what I use for almost everything. A little bit dearer but well worth the money.

EP2 is just a classification of grease and most manufacturers make it, there may be small variances between them such as the Moreys MOREYS MOLY COMPLEX EP2 GREASE which has 3% molybdenum disulphide for protection against sliding friction wear, but Moreys also do another EP2 called MOREY’S SUPER RED
Premium EP2 Waterproof Grease
