Just as you can buy synthetic motor oils, you can also buy 100%
synthetic greases.

THE FIRST fully synthetic grease on the market was Permatex's "Super
Lube", which came out about 12 years ago and is still an excellent
all-around grease to use in all seasons and for all reasons. Permatex
is a division of the Loctite Company.

This picture shows a 3 ounce (85 gram) tube. It's about 5 inches tall
and 1 1/2 inch wide with a screw top cap.

It also comes in smaller tubes:

It's clear in colour and fairly light in viscosity so far as greases go.
If I were looking for an all-purpose grease to keep in a truck or tool
box, this is the one I'd go with.





Almost tempting to buy as I shoot and use grease on crossbow rails.
I've been using white lithium grease and the pound out in the garage
will last for many years. A pound of this grease costs about as much as
the 3 oz tube of synthetic.
