I'm not into the makeup of greases. My reference is from observations ONLY. Others can cover that.
Owned many Bobcat skid stir end loaders. Over many years. Still have one. Use it all the time. I observed that if I used cheap grease on it. I'd have to grease all joints. About every 2 hours. If I used the most expensive grease. I could run all day. Those joints on the Bobcat. Are much like the pins that our GMC's have at the rear. It didn't seem to be related to brand. Or type of grease. Just cost.
I don't think that GMC owner pay enough attention to those rear pins. I've heard owners say. That they grease their rear pins every other oil change. That's CRAZY to me. If you have EVER changed those pins. It's a HUGE pain in the ass. And all other parts that you have. I have a grease gun that I always have on board. And give each of the 8-grease fittings. One pump every 1000 miles. The front suspension. Every oil change. It's a 5-minute task. And CHEEP.
