From what I have read, Aluminum thickeners have it all over Lithium. Better washout, higher heat resistance, better reversibility, compatible with most other greases, better corrosion resistance, etc...
So why is Lithium used? Is it a matter of cost? Or are there other properties of Lithium that give it an advantage over Alum. that don't show up on a spec. sheet?
