| Used my gun to shoot some fresh grease in the old Dearborn disc tiller and forced out some brown grease. Glad to see grease but never seen brown before. Thanks |

Over the years, and decades in the petroleum business, I’ve seen grease, nearly every color of the rainbow. ------------- I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science. |

Grandpa used a variety that was very dark green/black. I was surprised to find it still in his grease gun I used to use in the 60s.

I have some old Lithium grease that’s brown… It’s from the 90s… Otherwise when the grease is brown normally means water got in there and made rust… ------------- 1955 AC WD45 diesel with D262 repower, 1949 AC WD45 |
