I've worked in the industrial maintenance field for almost 25 years. From drilling rigs to gas compressors. Our current company has conducted many test to find the best grease that has the least failure rate. This includes pillow block bearings, sleeve bushings, high speed brearings, PTO and clutch bearings. Mystic and LE Red both are always at the top. White Lithiums are junk, well, they don't fit our purposes even though the labels say they do. Most multipurpose grease isn't all that great although most isn't rated for High Temp and High Pressure. Three main things that kill a bearing, Too much grease, Lack of grease, foreign particles. I had a boss that had us install new fan shaft bearings on a rig once, the bearings were greased with LE Red and the grease fittings were removed and plugged. Beleive or not, those bearings outlasted all of the others. Why, a lack of dirt from roughnecks not cleaning the grease gun or zirks was now eliminated.
