Due to the usual bickering that has evolved on this subject, I have not commented on this subject.

Nevertheless, in the engineering arena, analysis is based on Mohr's Law and for the proper lubricant selection, considerations are made on factors such as fatigue loading, friction, heat, corrosion resistance, kinematic problems, material properties, machining properties, machining tolerances, assembly and use.

Therefore, most times, you have to arrive to a compromise with a lubricant solution that works based on recommendation and experience by either the vendor or a user. There is not a "Snake Oil" that meets all requirements and every manufacturer claims that "theirs is better or bigger" than the competition.
