Contaminants tend to not penetrate the bearings. I've open my serviced freewheels after 1000s of miles of mixed pavement and gravel riding and the grease looks similar to the above.

I don't believe in the Flush and/or Dunk and Dribble method of freewheel service. It will not remove the contaminants and the oil quickly runs out of the freewheel making a mess of the sprockets, RD, etc.

Hope this is helpful.
