Schaeffers 221 vs Amsoil GHD

[gofastman]

I looked all over and cant find a direct comparison between the two, how to they stack up to each other?
I dont use a whole lot, so price isnt an issue.
Its mostly for boat and automotive wheel bearings and chassis lubrication.

Both excellent greases. You can buy the Amsoil one tube at a time. Don't know as I would use either in the automotive wheel bearing application. I personally do not like to use a grease with moly in the automotive wheel bearings.

the ASTM water spray off is 67% !

Is that a typo? that seams awful!

That is the spray off, which is for open conditions. Wheel bearings are not open conditions. The bearing washout is .4 which is exceptional.

This grease has no tackifier in it as it is designed to be used in bearings.

The Calcium Sulfonate Complex will do well to prevent rust.

I just noticed that the GHD has a lower % loss in the water wash out test (1.6% for the GHD, 4.2% for 221) I thought the aluminum complex Schaeffer's was supposed to be more water resistant. It also has a much poorer spec in the water spray-off test than Amsoil Water resistant grease (lithium complex)amsoil = 8.5% schaeffers = 22% what gives?
