If you mix equal amounts of 50k and 10k would you then have 40k?

if you want 40k, you need 86% 50k and 14% 10k.

That's what I said earlier.

BTW: I have that same calculator at my site. I just viewed the formula the script uses and added my own error checking and such. Since it is directly based from that gelsilicones site, I put credits at the top of the page.

It is best to just buy the correct fluid, as reading the last 2 posts has given me a headache.

You beat me to it James. I was thinking that exact same thing as I started reading their posts. If you have to work that hard to figure something like what portions of each grease to mix in order to get the right concoction for your setup, then it is time to just spend a few dollars and get the right grease in the first place. What a brain twister that is.

Thats what I love about this site though, is having PROs like them to answer a question like that, and then have guys like us who say just buy the right thing up front and avoid frying your brain.

Guys....easy....the 50k -10k thing was meant as a joke! I only quoted some professor's explanation of the formula when someone else did it too.....I thought it was funny....
