Yeah, I agree. For peace of mind, I'll use high temp auto disc brake grease. The stuff isn't expensive and much cheaper than the tube of Park or Bontrager grease I usually buy. A 1 lb tub of auto grease is under $10. It's just a bit messier to dispense. In general, I don't seem to use much grease these days with sealed-this and sealed-that components. A 4 ounce tube of grease lasts me years. 4X that for a 1 lb tub.
