Phil grease was the worst I have ever seen. Looks like pea soup. LOL I put it in a cotter crank one time, and it dripped down into the cotter. Pffft
Then I found Krazy grease at Princess Auto, $8 for a whole pound. It's a water proof marine grease with permalon, whatever that is. It can last thousands of miles. It's a nice light green color, so I can see the bearings and how dirty it looks when opened.
Good for anything and it is viscous enough for my pedal bushings too, a couple of them have over 18,000 miles.
Only one pedal side has a sealed bearing. I do clean them at 2,000 miles.
My CCM front wheel with 1/4" bearings will spin 3 or 4 minutes.
I always put lots in there, so it can't squish to the inside at least.
