<I asked Kurt that exact question several years ago. His answer was one word: 
Progrease.

##  I  have  a  small  K7NV   PP.   I  believe the  motor  spins  at  4800  
rpm.   The lube  above  states
its  not  made for  high  speed  bearings. It is not recommended for high 
speed/high temperature wheel bearings.

##  The  small  PP  is  divided  into  2 x  sections,  the  high  speed  
portion below....  and  the  lower
speed  section  at the  top.   Just a mess  of  planetary gears. 

##  The  above  grease  is  only  good  down  to  -20  deg  C.   There  may 
well  be a better product out
there  for  this  application.
