Default 2 questions: Lubing wheel bearings, and mixing oil viscosities(sp?)

Is there some sort of a grease fitting on them that they can be "lubed" or do they just spin until they die in the later years of the car, and how would I go about lubing them?

Have any of you ever used mixed viscosities of oil in your engine? Like say you run out of 10w and happen to have a bottle of 5 w laying there..... don risk it, or will it just sort of thin out the 10w?

thanks!!

The Accord does not use the type of wheel bearing that can be repacked with grease. When the bearing goes bad, just replace it.

And as long as you're not mixing different types of oil like synthetic and non-synthetic, mixing viscosities is OK.

That's not completely true. The rear wheel bearings on 1985 and older Accords are serviceable.
