The Wilson Ultimate Lube did not stop the rotation, or show any wear at full weight. Surprised? I know some are saying "snake oil"  product, but it does seem to work well.
I was going to supply a link to the product but their server appears to be down at the present. |
The test you are talking about could be the "Timken Load Test." Most industrial greases are in the 35# range for the cheaper stuff and up to 80# for the pricey, heavy loading application grease. Oils are measured a little differently. I would like to have seen the Wilson Lube up against standard 35# Timken Load grease ....
I have seen people(me included) demo their stuff and they use the old "3 in 1 oil", WD 40 or other inferior products as comparisons. I have even used a Zippo to show how one guy's grease runs away faster than my stuff did.... heat test etc ....
FYI - Timken Load Test is the industry standard name of the test, and is not issued as a promotion for their product. It was designed as a test for lubruicants long before Timken started putting their name on cartridges of grease.
