[GreenKeys] [External] Nye or other oil?

[Richard Knoppow]

    Red and Tacky sounds like Mobil 1 general purpose synthetic 
grease. This is a medium heavy automotive wheel bearing grease. I 
also have some stuff from Shell Oil, have to look at the label. 
Its an aviation grease I discovered by looking up the specs for a 
grease recommended by Collins Radio in a military handbook for 
the R-388. These (this and Mobil 1) are supposedly very long lived.
     I have been researching lubricants for a long time and find 
it peculiarly difficult to get really authentic information on 
their various virtues and faults.
