I've been using the recmmended Mystik grease for about 10 years in the current and last 5er. I'm starting to question it now. While doing the bearings this spring, I left my bearing packer in the direct sun for maybe 10 minutes. The fresh grease that was on that packer started to separate and run. Outside temp was maybe 68-70 degrees. Ill be giving the Timken grease a try next spring after seeing if it separates. Also makes me wonder if that had something to do with a couple outer bearings that looked overheated but that also was before upgrading the axles
