    Land Rover now use a grease in the RR/Disco/Defender axles.

    Some people advocate the use of the grease in series axles.

    The theory is that the grease, being thicker than EP90, will be less
    likely to leak past the swivel seals.

    The contentious issues revolve around "righteousness", "splash
    lubrication" and "penetration" (I think)
