One is a sticking ability, next is high pressure and next is temperature range for maintaining its sticky ability. The Valvoline in tubes is at NAPA but they donΉt have the cans and they couldnΉt figure out why even after calling the regional warehouse. Found the valvoline one pound cans at Advance Auto. They just put in a new store nearby. Had both the synthblend and the full synth in stock on the shelf. Also checked out their inventories and books on greases as well. Found nothing in their books for CV unless it was a RED grease (synth or blend) regardless of brand. My quaker state is also only available in a blend now if used for CV axels. jimt Planned insanity is best.
