I'm kinda partial to Amsoil synthetics and they have a variety of bearing grease as well! I did see less frequent maintenance on my open traler wheel bearings when I switched from conventional grease. I continue to use it on my enclosed trailer. I use the Series 2000 in everything - trailer bearings, car wheel bearings, ball joints, etc.

Amsoil bearing grease.

I also check the wheel bearing and brake adjustments on a regular basis. Good preventive maintenance.

This is what I use.... but the supplier gave me a case
BUT its been working well on my rig... I clean and
hand pack them every 2 years but I have the buddy bearings
so I grease them when the cups start getting low...
never had to replace any bearings YET... on any of
the 11 trailers I own

I also use it on my travel trailer and have never had a bearing failure. I inspect the bearings every 2 years and they always look good.
