Hi Ed and all,
I sell the Castrol brand. However, any of the major brands that
say it is "synthetic based" will do fine. The spec sheet tells the drop
point. My brand says it is 560*. If it doesn't say its synthetic
based, then it probably is not. I run across "marine" grease but that
does not tell you anything. Its a regular soap based lubricant. And you
say "soap based"??? Yup, most regular grease is soap based. I use the
test to see if its synthetic by putting a blob in my hand. Then I put
water on it and swirl and press it and try to mix the two products. Its
called "homogenation" and if I can make the water disappear in the
grease, its regular grease. A synthetic based grease will not let you
mix the water into the grease. It just pops back on the top of the
grease blob. A neat test.
Jim
