Oxidation stability: This is the ability
of a grease to resist a chemical union with oxygen. The
reaction of grease with oxygen produces insoluble gum,
sludges, and lacquer-like deposits that cause sluggish
operation, increased wear, and reduction of clearances.
Prolonged high-temperature exposure accelerates oxidation in
greases.
