A reader asks: I have to replace the front wheel bearings on my SUV. Naturally, I would like to protect the wheel bearings as much as possible. Looking at AMSOIL Synthetic Multi-Purpose Grease and AMSOIL Dominator Synthetic Racing Grease. Which grease would protect better against high heat in these hubs?
Our answer: Either AMSOIL grease product will easily withstand the temperatures that automotive wheel bearings generate.
However, the Dominator Grease does offer higher heat resistance. This is quantified in the ASTM D-3527 test. In this test, grease is run in a hub/spindle assembly at 1000 RPM at a temperature of 160°C for 20 hours on and four hours off. The test ends once too much resistance is created. Elevated resistance implies that the grease is failing.
AMSOIL Synthetic Multi-Purpose Grease had a test lifespan of 120 hours. The Dominator Racing Grease had a test lifespan of 220 hours.
Again, either will easily handle long-term wheel bearing service. However, Dominator Racing Grease is superior in terms of severe heat resistance.
