Default what grease for wheel bearings?

I want to grease the wheel bearings on my trailer via the grease nipple and
am confused by the various types of grease.

What type should I use?

Thank you

If it’s general duty then castrol bearing grease will be ideal. Something like this
https://www.zoro.co.uk/shop/lubrican...oaAixGEALw_wcB

If I don’t have that to hand I use castrol high temperature grease instead. But any bearing grease will do really

High temp

You need a 500cc / 400g capacity gun, the first one isn’t suitable for the standard cartridges. eBay will probably be your best bet, but the hilka you linked or something like this would suit your needs
