Was wondering to lube my M1a could I use wheel bearing grease from a auto store if so what type of grease would I use

Boat trailer bearing grease is usually #2 NLG and water proof. And cheap. One can will last several lifetimes.

I have always used cheap dark gray moly based wheel bearing grease in my M14's and Garands, It works fine and does not spray out when firing like some of the expensive super custom synthetic gun greases that come in a tiny little tube with a huge sticker price.
I feel as though I must say it.
Use whatever floats your boat...
But... I personally don't understand why you would spend $1500+ dollars on a rifle and skimp on something as important as the grease that keeps that $1500+ rifle running smooth. At $7 a tube or $12 a tub Slide Glide will actually prevent rust and other harmful corrosives from doing harm. Its a small price that I personally am willing to pay for peace of mind and superior lubricating protection.
