Thanks. Is the Viscosity reported by ASTM D 445 indicative of the viscosity of the final grease product (ie: w/ additives)? Or is it describing the viscosity of the base stock? .

At start-up, how pronounced are the differences in resistance to motion between a grease with the following viscosities (cSt @ 40ºC)? The values are all from NLGI #1 greases. 150 cSt 220 cSt 313 cSt To a layperson, it appears as though the first grease requires considerably less start-up...

Mobilith AW 1 is recommended by a mfr for lubrication of change gears on a lathe, but MAW1 is only available to me in a 33 lb (15 kg) pail. Also, I have been advised that MAW1 has been discontinued (in Canada) and will NLBA once current stock is depleted. Research suggests that MAW1's...
