A switch from Kendall Super-blu?

[Hubjeep]

Howdy all,
I am about to finish my case of Kendall Super-blu grease and am considering my options. I use this for U-joints, disc wheel bearings, steering linkages, general chassis, etc.

A local guy sells this grease for $15/case, it looks to have nearly exact properties to the super-blu (but red in color).

Another blue option is the Valvoline Cerulean:

Are these all basically the same? Compatible with the Super-blu I have been using for years?

Thanks,
John

Can you still get the Super-blu grease that you have been using?

As you probably already know, color has nothing to do with the performance of a grease. I'm not a big fan of Service Pro products because most of their products are made by the cheapest bidder.

I would either stay with what you have been using that you know works for you, or give the Valvoline a try. I wish Valvoline put the complete tech sheet on their site.

The are all three lithium complex greases so there should be no problem with mixing.

I agree with Johnny on this one.

I used Super Blu for about two years. I didn't like the oil separation leaving blue goop like bird droppings everywhere. I switched to Kendall SHP and really prefer the performance.
At the time I was operating twenty plus year old Mack trucks and noticed a dramatic improvement in tie rod end life on the SHP.
I have been lubing the front end of my 2003 GMC Yukon twice a year with SHP and after 75,000 miles everything is still tight.

I've been using super blu for everything for years on trucks and heavy equipment at work, also on my own vehicles. Never a problem, always performed well.

Johnny, is more info needed than this to compare greases:

Anyone here want to refresh us on how to interpret the specs. in order to compare greases? IE. Four Ball Wear Scar...smaller = better????????

Thanks. PS, I find it interesting how so many people equate color with grease quality.... "ah, you have that excellent blue/ red/green grease". I prefer the "regular" tan color stuff.
