I picked up a few tubes of the traveler marine grease today to try, I bought a case of Schaeffers 219 back in summer to try out. Schaeffers claims 800kg weld point but no timken load rating so next I tried using Valvoline cobalt which has a lithium sulphonate base with 800kg weld point along with 70 timken load. So far I have really liked the cobalt with it’s tackynes and high weld point. However I just read the data sheet on the travelled marine and it has a water wash out (Astm d1264) @ 175 degrees of .5%. I have yet to find a better washout %.
Lucas marine 2.5%
Lucas xtra duty grease 10%
Schaeffers 219 5.57%
Amzoil marine 1.25%
Mystic jt-6. 2.5%
Mystic marine (@100 degrees Fahrenheit) .9%
880 crown and chassis 1.3%
Green grease only shows their washout as pass.
I’m curious if anyone found a grease with better washout? I’m sure there is but I’m very impressed with the numbers from traveller marine and for $6.
