[QUOTE="NautiBuoys, post: 382167, member: 10996"] Check the rating on the grease container to see if your grease packaging displays a code such as NLGI GC-LB. The National Lubrication Grease Institute (NLGI) certifies grease to meet different performance levels in both the wheel bearing grease category (NLGI GC being the highest level), and in the chassis grease category (NLGI LB being the highest level). The letters mean: G - Certified for use in automotive wheel bearings A - Good B - Better C - Best and then: L - Certified for use in automotive chassis A - Good B - Best Regular WB grease is water resistant but Marine WB may contain additional additives that better resist water, washout, and corrosion.
