I'm in the process of installing the 4 bag system. I have most everything apart and would like to know what is the preferred wheel bearing grease.
Thank you.

I used Valvoline SynPower. You can get it from Amazon

David,

You're probably going to get recommendations for:

a) Mobil 1

b) Valvoline Synpower or Caterpillar Gold as they contain molybdenum.

I use Valvoline Synpower for EVERYTHING on my GMC in the USA and Caterpillar Gold on EVERYTHING on the GMC in Australia because I
can't get Valvoline Synpower here.

Valvoline synpower. Also pay close attention to the installation of the
inner seals. They can be problematic.
