I use 638 generally as a good compromise of heat and tolerance, you can get stronger, you can get hotter, you get less tolerance
3ml tube will do a few pair of rears happily

My last set were put in with Wurth High Strength Bearing Retainer (http://www.wurth.co.uk/data/productdocuments/050055.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) but they've only just been done so I don't know yet how long they will last this time. My all time low was 2500 miles (with no bearing retainer compound)..
