  • Synthetic Grease Better than Lucas Red-n-Tacky? Red Line vs Royal Purple. Let's see if either or both of these synthetic greases are better than Lucas Red-n-Tacky. Grease brands compared for film strength, water resistance, adhesion, ability to block corrosion, and cold temperature performance. I purchased both products and never accept sponsorships to ensure unbiased reviews. So, thanks for supporting the channel.

      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 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!

    Loved your independence and testing methods as always.
    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.
    Could you test oil additives that claim to restore rubber engine seals next?
    Keep up the great work!

    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.
