The fitting you show is normal. We call it a grease cup but you guys seem to have your own language when it comes to these things. I use Penrite Water Pump Grease which is not a grease at all (and here's me saying you have your own language!). It is a wax. I put some in the cup part of the fitting and screw it on after backing off the packing nut. That forces the lube into the bearing. One capful at a time is enough IMO but some keep going till it comes out the front. I think there is a high likelihood that you will have lube in the cooling system if you do that.
