I’m not sure what the white coloring is Doug, it could be a byproduct of the lithium distilling process, or a dye??
I’ve checked MSDS sheets in the past and nothing is mentioned about what the color of any grease is, be it white, red, green or black. The MSDS will list the actual chemical ingredients in percentage, but they most often use “proprietary ingredients” 1-5% that really says nothing. I assume that these ingredients are non-toxic/non-health hazardous so they don’t have to be listed on the MSDS.

Still, if a person has the interest, it’s fun to test different lubes on watches. I’ve never really followed the “you must use” rule as there are always many equivalents available. The rules for application remain the same, as long as the selected lube meets or exceeds the machine requirements, then size should not matter.
If we enlarge a pocket watch to the size of a truck, the conditions, mechanical principles, remain the same :ugeek:

Well stated, Chris. Excuse me while I go wind my truck! Ha!
