Ran across it at our new ace hardware store. I was looking for the timkin load and 4 ball wear test but struck out. Anyone familiar with it?

I'm good with finding info. It seems that you will have to contact the company for spec. sheets. It's obviously a relabeled product made by "someone", maybe Warren. One Lubrimatic wheel bearing greases is polyurea and the other is lithium complex. Probably excellent products, but nothing special? Let us know if you get the specifications.

This page has a reference chart (page 7) with Timken load and 4 ball test: https://www.gatesaustralia.com.au/~.../plews-lubrimatic-grease--oil-catalog2012.pdf

Looks like warren supplier maybe the specs are similar

Lubrimatic is a brand of Highline Warren which I don't think is related to Warren Oil. If you look at the tab than comes up when you select LMX Red-35 pound tub in your link, it says give the highline Warren part numbers and the words "USA Smittys". To me this suggests that the grease is produced by Smittys Supply and is rebranded as Highline Warren Lubrimatic LMX Red.

It's not a bad multipurpose grease. A lot of companies may sell this as an MPG or a generic construction grease.

We have to remember that there is Warren Oil and Warren Distribution, 2 different entities.

"Highline Aftermarket & Warren Distribution announced on November 9, 2020 that the two companies would merge into one, Highline Warren."

Have you looked at the Highline Warren web page(s)? It is very difficult to figure out what they are - distributor, mfg.?, both? They have 2 web sites:
https://highlinewarren.com/
https://www.shophighlinewarren.com/

I'm still guessing that the OP's lubrimatic grease is made by Warren Distributing based on this info.

Funny, that was my 'go to' grease in the good old days. Why? Because the old timers at the old time (and excellent) hardware store near us recommended it and the numbers I had seen were good. This store was in an area with a number of small and medium manufacturing operations (mostly gone, mall there now :mad:) and was very well stocked.

Here is the SDS with some performance data incl. drop and flash points, but no other performance numbers; LMX Red


Ahh, just noticed that someone already linked to the SDS...you will be fine, I am sure it is good enough. IMO, most vehicle applications will benefit more from maintaining fresh and clean grease than from the specific grease choice itself.

I may be wrong but I think the Lubrimatic LMX Red is made by Smittys Supply.
