I've never seen a grease that didn't have some separation. That's why I've always been careful where I hang the grease gun, and trig the spring in storage.
A google search reveals some separation is essential to proper performance of the grease.
Greases should have a "separation rating" in their data sheets.
Rates from 0.5% to 6%, with 1% to 5% being ideal, are what came up quite often.
Less than 0.5% = bad grease.

Which Grease to Use
Not trying to highjack here but I am getting the 2.5in Max Travel Kit from Rock Krawler, as soon as they get around to shipping it that is. And I just assumed that I would use White Lithium grease on all the joints. I've read on their website to use a "3 in 1 lube" but I have no idea what that means.
How do you all feel about White Lithium?(comes in a spray bottle from AutoZone)
Do you think there is a better grease option for me?
Should I buy a grease gun? If so, which one?(Ive never even seen a grease gun until i just googled it. So I have ZERO knowledge of this tool.)
