Fith Wheel grease is high on solid particle count. And I think it would probably be very viscous in the winter. I just use normal chassis grease

Bob said the same thing when I read this post to him. He would not use fifth wheel grease. He uses Mobil Synthetic on our landing gear and ours work very smooth.

My brother uses a high-grade lithium grease, which is what most good chassis grease is, anyway. Fifth wheel grease has too many properties that make it perfect for a fifth wheel, but would turn to putty in a gearbox, like a landing gear. Next time you're at an LTL terminal ask the guys in the shop what they use. I've noticed a lot of Mobile and Castrol lithium grease laying around those places.

We used lithium grease on ours. Wouldn't use fifth wheel grease because that stuff is gummy
