  • Is 1940s Bearing Grease still good? 75-year old Conoco grease tested for performance. Compared to MAG 1 conventional lithium grease. Both greases tested for water resistance, heat tolerance, corrosion resistance, and extreme pressure lubricant properties. I'll test full synthetic performance grease in future videos. I purchased both greases tested.

    Hey, finally a topic I can share my knowledge on!
    But first of all, thanks for your continuous testing of different products, I really like the videos.
    I have been working for the last 7 years in two companies that produce and develop lubricating grease, among other things.
    The overall better performance of modern grease was no surprise to me, as the development progress of additives over the last 50 years has been enormous.
    About the Lubricity Tester: The old grease had a clear disadvantage, as the modern grease was able to keep friction and thus wear much lower due to its better AW-EP (anti-wear - extreme pressure) additives.
    I am personally still interested in the corrosion behaviour of the greases in relation to copper sheet (DIN EN ISO 2160, ASTM D 130), the NLGI class of vintage grease, oil separation (DIN 51817, ASTM D 1742) and the behaviour in relation to water according to DIN 51807-1.

    Awesome video as always! Last time I seen Conoco grease like that was when I was a young kid. My grandpa and dad used it for the bulldozer on the farm. Love the way they worded things back then too. More sophisticated than now.

      The Conoco was great to lube the old slow moving oar carts and wagon wheels .

    The one thing the “Mag” grease had is time to improve.. after 70 years. The Conoco really led the way.. I wonder too if after 70 the vintage grease did degrade somewhat.

      That's what I was thinking as well is it possible the grease has degraded a bit over the years

      One way to find out. In 70 years the test must be repeated.

    I am amazed that there was no oil bleed on the old grease when the can was opened. Cheers,

    Modern grease has a typo on the packaging. "Insures" should be "ensures".
