Unless you're huge, outside test labs can afford to own some of this stuff and use it for multiple customers and applications.

    I have not used either of these brands, but I have seen the massive differences in greases. I used to have a work truck with a welder powered by a modified Leece-Neville alternator. The bearings went out in that after a couple years. I replaced them with aftermarket bearings and used Lucas green grease. That lasted about 5 years. The next bearings I put in with factory grease from the bearing maker. Got about 6 months. Put in another set, cleaned and repacked with Lucas green and that lasted more than 7 years!

      This may be irrelevant to the grease conversation but I have had experience with RP 100 wt. used in babbitt bearings where the oil was displaced with extremely hot water. It is not known how long the condition was present (less than 2 hrs max) but the pump was run at high rpms with no visible damage to the bearing. That would not have been the case with regular oil we had been using. Even displaced there remained a film of protection on the surface of the bearing. I am not discounting any other brand just anecdotal experience with Royal Purple 100 wt. oil.

    I've always heard that some synthetic grease doesn't mix well with natural grease, which I'd assume is why they include a warning to clean away older grease before applying a new type. I've never actually seen what it looks like to mix incompatible grease, though, so that would be interesting to see if you happen to test more types of grease in the future.

    I haul a bass boat all over the state on a single axle trailer. Wheel bearing health is very important to me as well as other anglers I talk to. Many have started using Lucas Red & Tacky in their boat trailer bearings but I feel it is the wrong grease for this application. In my research, Red & Tacky is made for sliding surfaces against each other so adhesion is most important I still stick with the blue marine greases like Lucas Marine or Mystic JT-6. Both of these greases claim to have improved resistance to wash out. I would love to see a comparison of marine greases compared to automotive and Red & Tacky.

    Regarding the measurement of the wear scars on the bearings: It seems to me that the wear on the bearings is exponential as opposed to linear because the contacted area increases with increased wear. For example a 10% bigger scar might mean 40% more wear. Would like to see if there is a possibility to account for that.

    I’d like to see more than just these 2 grease companies go at it, at least throw in Super Tech for a low cost and some NAPA, O’Rielys and maybe another brand as a mid grade

    Have you ever thought of devising a test to compare different brands of brake cleaner? I searched your channel but didn't find that test. I really appreciate the videos...well done! Cheers!

    Great test, having previously rebuilt and repacked CV joint axle shafts on a German sports car, this test confirmed my choice of lubricant, thanks,
