Thanks for that. I confess to being a bit of a nerd for this stuff. I find the used oil analysis threads at Bob is the Oil Guy fascinating and was really interested in NASIOC Engine Oil Selection Guide after I purchased my turbo Subaru. Its a sickness - spending way too much time thinking about which PTFE lube to use on my new Speedplay cleats.

The PDF does seem a bit on the marketing side of technical but interesting nontheless.

Aluminum complex greases excel in resistance to both washing out of a bearing and being washed off a flat surface.

That seems to be the biggest cycling specific benefit I took away from the PDF. Might be a great choice for CX/gravel/commuting or anyone in the Pacific Northwest.

Thanks again. Might have to order some of this to go with the 8657 different lubes I already have.
