Thank you. It seems to be lacking.
Compared to the other greases I use. Red and tacky has better specs.
Should probably compare Lucas red n tacky to Mystiks red grease not this one. Kind of comparing apples and oranges if you compare this grease to red n tacky IMO.
Just my $0.02
Ya I only paid $.25 for it. I'll probably still use it but like every one else on bitog I try to get the best possible.
Perfect stuff for greasing door/hood hinges, 5th wheel hitch plates and the like.
Comparing Red and Tacky to JT6 GP is way off.
Calcium greases have tons of positive properties that lithium greases don’t. Like not absorbing as much water. Anti corrosion properties. Etc.
Yep it would be perfect for something like a log splitter or other applications with sliding parts that are exposed to the elements.
How about ball joints?
It’s not a GC-LB grease. It would work just fine, but it’s technically not tested to the GC-LB rating. Which is arguably out dated right now anyways.
If you’re strictly using on cars and trucks, I would have other recommendations. This one is more for construction equipment, agricultural, etc. slower speeds, higher impacts.

used both RnT and JT6 on saltwater boat trailers for decades - never made a rat's tail as long as you kept them topped up ...
And TieDown engineering (Dexter) pre-packed with RnT or Lucas Marine ...

Most ball joints are likely originally lubed with a lithium complex grease, and while calcium sulphonated greases are compatible with lithium complex, often you can't be entirely sure what's already in there. Lithium complex greases are compatible with the widest variety of greases so that's what I use for suspension components.

I've pumped who knows how many tubes of that into farm equipment growing up. My grandfather had us grease every time we fueled. Overkill? Probably but he was just about the only one around who never burnt a baler up......
