Difference Between Grease and Oil Seals That Come with Kodiak XL ProLube Kit for 5.2 and 6K Axles

Question:
Are timken grease seals different than the oil seals that you use in your Kodiak xl 2440 kit

Expert Reply:
Yes, oil seals are different than grease seals. An oil seal is going to be much tighter on the spindle than a grease seal. An oil seal can be used with grease but a grease seal cannot be used with oil. Timken is just a brand, we don't carry them but we have several cross-compatible options. The Kodiak XL ProLube Kit for 5,200-lb to 6,000-lb Axles part # XLPROLUBE2440KIT you referenced has oil seals which have an inner diameter of 2.25" and an outer diameter of 3.376".
I have attached our list of seals below, both grease and oil. You'll need to measure the inner and outer diameter to determine the correct replacements.
