Rear wheel bearing grease?

Hey fellas, I'll double check my spelling this time, anyway, my chilton manual calls for the rear wheel bearings both inner and outer to be packed in wheel bearing grease as the primary lube. It states that if it sees any lube from the differential thats extra. This is for a full floating 3\4T model 70 rear end. The only lube there was 90wt, so is there supposed to be grease there. Most of my experience has seen only 90wt lube on these bearing, however I always keep an open mind and will learn. What do you guys that hotshot use on these bearings, as thats the test. Is Hi Performance Valvoline 90WT with modifiers the oil for this posi? Thanks fellas! Tim
