Ya’ll got me so jacked up with that thread about checklist for trailering to the Keys I jumped up and went out and started greasing the buddy bearings and lugs. Even though it is about 110 degrees! THEN I started thinking, always dangerous, the grease going in doesn’t look like the grease coming out?? The outy is turquois color the in is regular old grease. So’s, I goes online and lo and behold they start talking about compatibility and such. Guess I’ll be shopping for some of that fancy synthetic boat trailer grease at some point. Hope it gets me to Charleston and back this weekend! If not it’s ya’ll’s fought.
Link to a compatibility chart that may help you out.

NORIA is pretty much the industry Guru’s when it comes to lubrication.
Most of the grease you will encounter for wheel bearings is Lithium Complex base unless you put up extra money for polyurea. Conventional Polyurea doesn’t play well with others
As for color, it is only a dye. Some grease is brown, some blue, others red or green. Doesn’t mean anything.

The best bang for your buck, period. I use it daily in a fertilizer plant and we replace bearings now when the housing rusts out, haven’t had one wear our internally since we switched 9 Years ago. Used Mystic red grease prior to the lucas and replaced bearings weekly. The grease sales men that stop by the plant (and theyre are several) hate putting the Moly grease or whatever they’re selling up against the lucas Xtra heavy duty because it hangs right there with every test they put it through and their grease is typically 13-15$ a tube compared to about 6-7$ for the lucas from my local parts guy. Just replaced the bearings in my boat trailer after 3 years and saved the old ones as spares because after cleaning them up they looked new still (still replaced for piece of mind).
