Oil for EZ Loader hubs

[ricohman]

The manual specs 50 or 90w oil. I have plenty of 75w90. What disadvantage is there to using the multi viscosity oil?
The two front wheels on my trailer need adjusting and I am sure when I remove that clear cap the oil is coming out!

It would work fine, the diffrence is like motor oil blends.

Why do you have to remove the cap??

The front wheels need to have the bearings adjusted. Slight bit of play.

Since I've never owned a trailer with these hubs before I just have to say how easy they are to service.
Unscrew the cap, adjust the bearings and screw the cap back on. Then fill with oil. No mess.
I don't think this chore took 20 minutes.
