Wow, this turned into a pretty good discussion! While Aeroshell basically answered my question, they really didn't explain the "inorganic" part. Molakule's reply did, but I think its just a marketing term for A/S.
Bob's mandate of flushing out the old clay based stuff before going with anything new is what I have always done. Of course, this is pretty easy with wheel bearings anyway.
*REVERSABILITY*
This is an important characteristic, as I understand it. I glad that The Oil Guy agrees
However, I cannot find any specs on it at the two manufacturer's websites that I am interested in. Could this characteristic have another name? I posted a link to Aeroshell's grease spec page, and as everyone can see, and it doesn't say anything about reversability
Same story with Mobile. We currently use Mobile 28 grease at work, and I would really like to know more about it. On a hot day, red oil drips from the grease gun
Is this a sign of low reversability?
Anyway, thanks for the welcome. I am reading more and more from this site and am learning alot.
