No. I was quoting Dexter engineers discussing the same issue. Given a choice, I would NEVER use an oil bath bearing on a trailer that sat for months at a time. Unless and maybe even if the axles are serviced annually, you could have a cracked seal that would admit moisture that will break down oil infinitely faster that clean grease.
