Hey KZbin, what would be the simplest (ie less additive as possible), easy to find in europe, Lithium complex grease ?... if anyone can help... Manufacturers are not very open to the exact type of thickener they use

Decades ago I put Lithium into something automotive that had Moly (or reverse) and got hardened grease. Decades later I am still gun shy. Now there are lithium complex greases that have moly in them. It was the ages old auto manufacturer incompatibility thing. Chrysler vs Ford grease issues. Looking to grease a new piece of Kubota equipment brought me to this.

So what about mixing two NLGI #2 lithium complex greases. One is gray with a small percentage of moly and the other red with no moly.

[@sunrevolver]

the only way to know is to try and see the results. My guess would be it won't be good because the dilution of the Moly. I believe the Moly is there for a reason.

For the typical person who watches this video this is not helpful. Are you actually suggesting that some guy who has to mix grease types should contact testing lab to run tests on the two greased he's about to mix when he has to mix greases for some reason? Come on! This reminds me of Peter Lynch's advice to investors that they should meet with the CEO of any company they are interested in buying their stock. Your advice has no practical or realistic value to regular folks.

For the general rules, don't mix different type of lubricants. mixing lubricants is mainly for people who have access to do testing and really really understand what they are doing.
