Stock Shorelandr grease

[Troch1]

I've heard to not mix grease types. I'm looking to top up my stock year-old 2019 galvanized double axle Shorelandr trailer bearing and don't want to put in the wrong grease. Any ideas on what they use stock from the factory? (Yes, I realize I can call the company, but it's Sunday and I have time today to do this project).


TIA!

+1 for making the switch to Lucas Marine. Good stuff.

Thank you! Never actually crossed my mind that ShoreLandr would have a website with useful information...stupid me.

I used the Lucas got it from Wallyworld then took it to Fl no problem. Re lubed and took it back no problem, works great.

I recently swapped my Shoreland’r fake bearing protectors for real Bearing Buddies, and it appeared the grease inside was standard wheel bearing grease. I replaced with some Mobil 1 synthetic.

Sorry for the rookie question: would this be the right stuff to use?

I used the X-tra heavy from Walmart been down to Fl and back to NY 2 times plus other trips.
just a few pumps the cover with the grease fitting moves out, once it does don’t put more in you can blow out the seal. Take a close look at it you will see how far it can move out,

I could not find locally the shorelander grease (Petro Canada Peerless OG2) which is a Calcium Sulphonate based grease.

Since very few other bases are compatible with this base type (lithium is not), I found another label which makes a comparable product with the same base: Lubrimatic 11402 Marine Corrosion Control. This avoided having to remove the bearings, clean them and repack with a new grease.

Note that some of the common trailer grease brands advise not to use their products with disc brakes. Not sure why.

I just bought a 14oz tube of Lucas Marine (SKU 260-1310) from Boatoutfitters.com for about $16 delivered. Expensive shipping but they had it in stock and delivered it in a week.

This one ok? It's a lithium complex.

I'd get the 2nd one, as it uses the same base as oem.

I went 4 different auto parts stores today and had a hell of time finding any marine grease. I ended up getting this (although mine is branded on the package as STP rather than Coastal) at Autozone.

All it says it that it's an anhydrous calcium grease so looking at the grease compatibility charts, I still can't tell if this is compatible with the Calcium Sulfonate grease used by Shorland'r. Does anybody with a better chemical background have any idea? If this won't work, I'll have to return it to Autozone and order some Lucas Marine online I guess. It's crazy, all the stores here have the other Lucas Oil greases, just not the Marine! The only other Marine grease I could find was Green Grease which is Lithium Complex. Any info is appreciated.

According to this site, anhydrous is fully compatible with calcium sulfonate. https://www.stle.org/images/pdf/STLE_ORG/BOK/LS/Grease/Calcium sulfonate complex greases.pdf
