Yes, I realize that the bulk oil is sold like that. However it's nothing but a petroleum base product at that point. The BIG difference comes in when the base product is made into an actual lubricating oil with the various additive "packages" are added. The types of additives, amounts of additives, etc all determine how the final product will perform. Nobody cares about the base, it's the preformance of the final product that makes the difference, and it's that difference in performance that makes the LE oils and greases so much better than the others. As one of the other posts suggest there is a time and place for everything and every application isn't good for LE. They don't usually cater to the logging industry for hydraulic oil due to the amount of oil lost from to busted lines, etc. With the difference in price of LE-vs-regular it simply isn't cost effective to pay more for oil that isn't gonna stay in a system long enoug to really make a difference. I'm sure there are other examples just like this too, but for general use on farm equipment, in diesel engines, etc it can't be beat in my opinion.
