Gee, what happened to the - you must use synthetic - line? Surely this must hold for grease as well as oil.
Is the factory MB grease synthetic? For what it is worth, I have been using a red colored synthetic grease in everything for the past few years. Don't know how good it is - a house brand so hard to quantify perhaps - much more expensive than the name brand non-synthetic stuff. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of LarryT Sent: Monday, March 12, 2007 7:53 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Mercedes Discussion List Subject: Re: [MBZ] Greasing front wheel bearings Not sure what vehicle you;re talking about - but the grease MB sells is in a tube which contains exactly enough to do both front wheels - seperate the tube into 2 halves and you have the right amount for each wheel. IIRC, the WSM tells how much goes into each hub and cap. The key is to buy the grease from MB so you get the proper amount. Unless you have a way to precisely measure 8 oz. or 12 oz of grease - can't recall which it is - it's important to buy the good stuff from MB.
