Moly Greases.. Are these equivalent ?

[dkcase]

Grease experts : Do you think these greases are fundamentally equivalent?
We had a situation where we expected a consultant to recommend a grease, but we never received their message. The use is in a pulling/hoisting application for lubricating a pin that a shackle and wire rope attach to, to allow the shackle to pivot freely. Slow speed, normal temperature, dry ambient.

On our own, we picked up the Never-Seez. The consultant, later, insisted we should use the Red Line.

Both are extreme pressure, Moly, greases.

Looked like either would work, to me. Just a consultant being a consultant ?

Which can you get easier? Price difference?

Why Redline over NeverSeize? Did he have something bad to say about the NeverSeize?

There's always Amsoil's too.

They are 2 different types of grease.
The RL is a bearing grease and may work OK the Black one, if high in moly solids >5% will give better results in "plian" bearings or the "pins" as you discribe.

The RL does NOT have the high solids that are needed for that use.

Anti sieze greases have very high solid content mostly moly and graphite but they are lousy as a bearing grease where the RL is a low solid grease and would be great in any needel or ball bearing but NO good as a anti sieze in low motion plain bearing.

Thanks for considering this.

I wasn't able to find the answer. My 'guess' would be less than the NeverSeize but I'm just not sure. The real question is how much is needed.

I like using 5% on my chassis
