its almost time to refill the greasegun that came with the Vermeer wood chipper - do not want problems from mixing incompatible greases

the grease is not quite clear, kinda yellowish and creamy, nice and soft on a hot day

I think it would be lithium cause moly is black

searched the archives - 14000 posts on grease but gave up after reading 500, appreciate your help

Sounds like aeroshell 7 or 16.

never thought of checking that, this grease gun is huge, about double the lenth of regular grease gun so I figured it was filled from a pail like in the good old days

You have cheap grease - It's a straight lithium.

I keep hearing about not mixing grease

TSC has some nice black stuff I use for my bush hog, was thinking of using that unless it would cause problems

i bought some of that cheap TSC grease some years ago and found it to have a lot of air pockets in the tube. seems to me like i only got 10-12 good shots of grease and it was empty. tried major name brands ( including John Deere) and they were all much better. i think it may have something to do with the way the grease is packed in the tube. bottom line is :Buy Cheap and Get Cheap.

I always get my butt chewed when I say something like that, but I couldn't agree more. I personally would recommend either Mobil HP 222 or Chevron Super Permalube - both are lithium based as is what you are using, so compatibility is ok, but these are both light years better than your grease. Guaranteed to use half the amount after it all gets worked in.

you can mix SOME greases - I have a grease compatibility chart somewhere, I'll see if I can find it.

I do know that you can put the moly where your lithium is now, it's the same grease except for the moly additive. My supplier calls it the lazy mans grease, because moly, as we all know, makes a mess - he says it will look like it's greased when it's not.

Don't know where my chart is, but this one from FINA is accurate
