Whats the difference between the normal wheel bearing grease and Spectro SPL grease?
The front bearings on VW’s tend to take a lot more abuse than on other makes, so many people recommend that you use a synthetic like Spectro to help them last longer. However, there also seems to be some confusion on the matter: most normal drivers are easily able to get 100K mi. out of their front bearings. This is in contrast to racers, who may have to change bearings every race or two, and to GM products, which are supposed to have new bearings every 50K mi. (according to a sign on the wall of a local dealership). [sobiloff@lap.umd.
