The Lubrizol site is excellent. As for a suitable grease, any natural or
synthetic grease meeting NGLI #1 waterproof would be suitable. The boat
trailer bearing grease is a waterproof grease, simply meaning that it is
not water-based (a lot of greases, strange as it seems, are!), and will
not wash out.

Cheers.
