Kegsbreath buys the old scroungy grease that squirts out of fittings when you lube your car. The blacker it is the better he likes it.

Helpful hint: If you have a car that has grease fittings, what we've all been told is to put the nozzle of the grease gun on the fitting and pump until some comes out. This is not what you want to do for longest bearing life. Instead, count the number of pumps it takes grease to come out of the fitting - then pump that number again. If it takes 15 pumps for grease to come out, pump a total of 30 times. Just pumping 15 times refills the grease reservoir but it leaves the old grease in the bearing. Pumping 30 times completely changes it.

Then again, it may be flying off the shelves.

Castrol only got the contract because they were so low.

You're definitely right about the competition thing...very few companies would even want to try to make lubricant that stays slick at the temperature of liquid hydrogen.

of the printer ink that we buy. Oy, is that ever ridiculously expensive stuff!

The reason your ink is so expensive is you're buying new heads every time you buy ink. At work I buy wide-format ink that's way cheaper per ml than what you use in your desktop printer.

Thanks.
