[QUOTE="UnleashedBeast, post: 11862499, member: 112023"] Some cheaper formulations allow thinner oily compounds to separate from the grease (carrier soap) faster than others. Gravity takes it toll and pulls is out of the bottom of the gun. The grease isn't immediately bad, just messy, and would be best to stir the mixture again if the grease has been sitting unused for a long duration. The pressure on the grease in a gun adds to the issue of squeezing out the base oil from the suspension soap. Higher quality grease will slow this process. However, if it does this in the gun, what does it do when in a wheel bearing or other critical lubrication area? This is why I began using better grease, my OCD. The same way a better formulated liquid metal polish doesn't settle/separate like a cheaper mixture, not having to shake them well before use to remix the ingredients. When you see a manufacturer advertise a grease that lasts up to X times longer, they probably have a more stable formulation to prevent separation. You'd assume this also means better base ingredients. [/QUOTE]
