Is Cheap Grease better than Lucas Red N Tacky

[WoodiE]

I've been a fan of the Lucas red n tacky grease for some time. I've had several people tell me grease is grease and it makes no difference. Regardless I've continued using Red N Tacy and have been happy with the cost and performance.

Then I came across this video today and found the testing very interesting

So all grease and oils.have to meet basic standards (sold in the u.s.a ) so yeah the cheap grease can work as good as a expensive grease. But in most cases the more expensive grease will have a better addative package. In most cases you'll never notice a difference. I too like the red and tacky, but will use a few substitutions if I cant get it right away.

Red n tacky is great. Plus a tube lasts me years, so even the expensive stuff is minimal cost. Perhaps if I had a fleet of heavy machinery id consider cheaper options.

Good grief how much grease do you guys go through. I’ve had a jar of team fast eddies dog bone grease for like 8 years and it’s still half full

Depends on how much stuff you have to grease lol. Between my vehicles and equipment I own a tube doesn't go far. Actually buy it by the case when I can.

I'll stick to the redntacky ?? can get it super easy. Not really worth the savings for me, unless I had a fleet of things to grease (like 21bangbang said)

It was useful. I usually use the cheapest grease but now I really want to buy redntacky)

There are many good quality greases out there, (just like 2 stroke oil) for some reason we all seem to like the lucas red and tacky.

Many people fall prey to internet lube "brand" flavor of the month. When people throw around Johhny Racer brands such as "Motul" "Redline" and Amsoil while they do make excellent lubes, ask yourself do I really need a hyped up expensive race inspired marketed lube ? What I've learned over the past 40 years of using grease is that ANY grease applied at correct maintenance intervals is better than NO grease. If you want my opinion on "which grease" I've settled on Mobil 1 grease and 15-50 oil . The stuff is fantastic, relatively inexpensive and available down the street at my local Wally World. If you need oil/grease in very cold temps full synthetic is definitely the way to go.
