    old grease

    I have a bunch of 5-10 year old grease tubes sitting on the shelf. Some of the tubes are only half full and the boxes they're in are wet. I'm assuming the moisture in the grease has bled out. Has the grease lost its lubricating properties? Is it junk?

    best oil for short trip

    My daily driver is a 1997 Chevy K2500, 5.7 V8 with 195k miles. My daily driving routine contains 3-4 short trips. Sometimes only with 1-2 minute warm-ups in sub-zero temps and less than 1 mile of distance. I usually use Shell Formula 5w-30, but the last OCI it got Schaeffer 9000 5w-30. I'm...
