Mobil 1, grease no real data, but I have used in the Merk and had good luck.
Nascar guys actually use an oil filled front hub with seals on each end, and
preload established by spacers so the spindle is torqued to a specific
value, not set by feel.  I eventually will do that, but wont for the first
year or so on the new car.  Bob Gribble and his guys know all about this,
but I don't know how much you can learn by long distance puter.  A call to
his shop manager (cant remember name) will help.  He explained to me
precisely how to do the preload thing, but I continue to have these senior
moments.....and they get worse....CRS
OK, now off to the shop, I have to assemble my rear hubs.  (and use Mobil 1
grease)  :=D
