Looks like updated packaging from Bel-Ray. All of their new packages are black caps instead of the traditional blue.

Companies that make grease make many different types, you have to read the labels to see which type you are getting. Grease companies will identify grease types by making them different colors and there are some industry standards for color.

He doesn't!!!!

He's just a pimply-faced 14 year old kid pretending to be an internet and forum all knowing and powerful guru and talking out his anal orifice. HE'S GOT YOU ALL FOOLED!!!. There's a reason no one has ever actually seen him. :glare:

Be very careful about following any of the crackpot advice this little twerp is handing out! :lol:

Shave the 'stash and apply a bottle of "Just for Men" and I think Geezer nailed it!!

The truth, really --

Now I understand your apprehension at being caught on camera.

You were a child star on Lancelot Link, weren't you?!?

I'm guessing you were the one on the right.

Hot Dog Wednesday and this thread sure has gone awkwardly wrong

I would guess one is chassis and body grease, and the other would be for wheel bearings and water sensitive bearings and contains the lithium soap base to seal out water.

Reading the containers information -

Black = General Purpose

Blue - Automotive, Marine, Motorcycle
