Synpower vs Cerulean

[buck91]

Been using Synpower for a few years now with no complaints or problems. I do like the light moly content though I know others have more... Anyways I was comparing the PI sheets for Synpower vs Cerulean and it looks for all the world like the cerulean (without moly) offers better EP and wear protection. And for less cost. Does anybody else see this? I know a lot of people use the cerulean with fine results here, and I am thinking of going to it now, as well. Any idea why the synpower seems to have worse specs?

Timken Load 60 vs 65lbs
Weld point 315 vs 400 lbs

The cerulean spec sheet offers a lot of info but the synpower does not...

Have you considered Valvoline Palladium?

Yes, but it doesn't appear to be vastly different either.
Timken 60lbs
weld point 600
scar is 0.48 (vs. 0.55 in cerulean)
load index 68 (vs 59)

Why is the timken worse if the other specs are better?

Why are you focusing on Timken/D2509 ratings at these levels as a meaningful barometer of grease performance?

 

[buck91]

Mostly because it is the only objective data published on these greases. Suggestions?
