Overthinking until spring?
A 35 year old tub of Boat trailer wheel bearing grease Used when I want to have it work and not re do it often.
loose bearing balls stick in it.
Phil in the tube is fine when Tidy ness without using my finger matters ..
LBS uses tubs of park grease because they get it shipped with other stuff they need
its about the same viscosity as Phil , blue rather than green ..
Probably distilled from Methane ("Natural") Gas.
