Mobil 1 Synthetic Grease is an NLGI No. 2 supreme performance grease that combines a polyalphaolefin (PAO) synthetic base fluid with a lithium complex soap thickener. The wax-free nature of the synthetic base fluid, together with its low coefficient of traction compared with mineral oils, provide excellent low temperature pumpability, very low starting and running torque, and can reduce operating temperatures in the load zone of rolling element bearings. Because of its low traction properties, the PAO base also offers the potential for energy savings through improved efficiency. The thickener system provides a high dropping point, while additives impart optimum extreme-pressure properties and excellent resistance to water wash, and outstanding protection against rust and corrosion. Mobil 1 Synthetic Grease has excellent structural stability and low-temperature pumpability, making it an outstanding automotive grease.
Based on its outstanding performance capabilities, Mobil 1 Synthetic Grease is recommended for a wide range of automotive applications, but especially where any of the following operational conditions occur: high loads, moisture or condensation, high temperature exposure and low temperature start-up.
Mobil 1 Synthetic Grease is the natural choice for vehicles using Mobil 1® engine oil, providing the same outstanding performance and reliability for which its fluid synthetic counterpart has long been recognized. This leading grease product is based on the synthesized PAO base stocks that were pioneered by ExxonMobil.
Lubricants bearing the Mobil 1 brand are recognized around the world for innovation and outstanding performance. These PAO-based synthetic products, pioneered by ExxonMobil, symbolize our continuing commitment to using advanced technology to provide outstanding lubricant products. Close contacts between our ExxonMobil scientists and application specialists and OEMs ensure that our products are designed to meet the needs of continually evolving automotive equipment designs.

Is this stuff easy to find at national chain stores?
Yes it is widely available...it's great stuff, but it is a little pricey for a 14oz cartridge.
How much $ are we talking?
The last tube I saw was about $7 in Autozone. I would usually wait off and buy the Amsoil grease for <$5 as part of another order, but I had to repack some wheel bearings pronto for a highway haul and I wanted a "real" synthetic base oil. It worked really well and still looked quite good (I used my calibrated eyeball 9000 to gauge its lubricity and oxidation) 3 weeks ago after 10 months of use.
That's not a bad price. No AutoZone here, does Checker or O'Reilly carry it?

It's a great grease, but it does not contain moly.
Another good Mobil synthetic grease is their SHC220.

Hi Johnny, I haven't been privy to that grease before. Where would one find such a beast??
I got mine from Avlube. Just type that in on google.
Thanks Johnny...you're the man!

Wow! I did not notice the original date either. Well, nothing has changed, it still does not have moly in it. Are you using Mobil 1 grease?
buster, you better spend more time with your new bride than you do these old threads.

You know, I just looked this up myself because I was curious whether they were selling a different product in Canada than they're selling in the USA, and I'm not seeing PAO mentioned on the USA page. http://www.mobil.com/USA-English/Lubes/PDS/GLXXENGRSMOMobil_1_Synthetic_Grease.asp
The specs are slightly different, notably the Water Washout, ASTM D 1264, % @ 79ºC number.
Is Mobil cheating the US customers by not using a PAO base?

Interesting. The Timken load number is a lot better on the Canadian spec sheet also.
So it is!
The 4 ball EP is quite a bit different as well.
Really makes me wonder if the stuff sold in the USA is Group III based....

Could very well be, but we will never know.
