Aeroshell 5 is the standard petroleum grease and Mobil 28 is a the synthetic. Buy the way Gulfstream uses Mobil 28 or they did in the 90's when I worked there as a mechanic in the service center.
I use Aeroshell 5 in the LNC4-PT that I fly and maintain for a customer and we have had no problems since Jan. 2007 when I took over the duties of Pilot/Mechanic.

Hello all,
Mel Hill is helping me do an annual on my IVP in preparation for first flight. We think we should repack the wheel bearings as this has never been done in the 2,000 years since I bought the kit. Does anyone know what is the recommended grease for this purpose? Have any other advice about that?
Thanks.
