I found an old 500g tin of Duckhams L.B.10 grease in my garage.
(1) Would my old LB10 have deteriorated over its 20 years? Perhaps there's been some internal breakdown or water is absorbed?
(2) I use the LB10 as a general purpose grease around the car and around the house. Have better all-round general-purpose greases become available which effectively replaces LB10? Maybe I should get some of that, if so.
(3) For household use, would Vaseline be just as good if I can't lay my hands on the tin of LB10 at the moment I'm looking for some lube? (I get the vague impression that vaseline would get squeezed out from between 2 surfaces much more easily than LB10.)
