AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy-Duty Greases

Simplifies Inventories and Prevents Errors

The combination of synthetic base oils and lithium complex thickeners in AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy-Duty Greases excel in high- and low-temperature ranges. AMSOIL Heavy-Duty Greases are outstanding at reducing friction and helps systems run cooler and more efficiently in high temperatures than they can with conventional greases. In low temperatures, AMSOIL Heavy-Duty Greases pump easily and offer dependable cold-temperature protection and good low-temperature torque values. Their broad operating range of temperatures reduces grease inventories by replacing separate high- and low-temperature greases and prevents greasing errors.

Fortified with Moly

AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy-Duty Greases are compounded with highly effective extreme pressure additives that form a shield of protection against extreme loads. The addition of molybdenum disulfide (moly), a solid extreme pressure additive, armors components by taking the brunt of excessive loads so lubricated surfaces don't. During heavy shock loading, the lubricant film between metal surfaces can be temporarily ruptured, but the moly remains intact to prevent metal-to-metal contact. Moly also assists in dirty environments when proper regreasing intervals are not followed.

Resists Squeeze Out/Water Washout

Top-performing lithium complex thickeners found in AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy-Duty Greases provide excellent adhesion properties. AMSOIL Heavy-Duty Greases adhere to metal and are shear stable during severe mechanical activity. They resist squeeze out during operation, maintain their consistency and provide superior lubrication.
     These adhesion properties also provide outstanding resistance to water washout, as identified by the ASTM D-1264 water washout test. A protective film of lubricant stays in place -- to protect against wear and allow rust and corrosion inhibitors to protect against the damaging affects of water. With AMSOIL Heavy-Duty Greases, performance is improved, wear rates are reduced and equipment lasts longer.

Extended Service Life/Long Shelf Life

AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy-Duty Greases are suitable for use up to 325°F in continuous operation and 350°F for intermittent service. (When operating at elevated temperatures, frequent regreasing may be required.) AMSOIL Heavy-Duty Greases resist oxidation, high-temperature degradation and additive depletion so effectively, they may be used for longer service intervals than conventional greases. AMSOIL Heavy-Duty Greases also resist oil separation and offer a long shelf life.

Compatibility

AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy-Duty Greases are compatible with many other types of grease. However, it is recommended that when changing greases the equipment be cleaned of the old grease when possible or flushed with a liberal amount of AMSOIL Heavy-Duty Grease while the mechanism is in operation. Closely monitor the system for any inconsistencies. Any grease-compatibility questions should be referred to your AMSOIL representative or AMSOIL, Inc.

Applications

AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy-Duty Greases are recommended for use in heavy- and light-duty applications found in manufacturing plants, automotive applications, agricultural equipment and construction equipment (consistency grade depends on application). These include, but are not limited to, roller bearings, plain bearings, gears, bushings, thrust bearings, wheel bearings, chassis lubrication, universal joints, ball joints, tie-rod ends, four-wheel drive steering knuckles, spring shackles and heavily loaded pivot pins on mining and off-road equipment such as power shovels, draglines, wheel and back hoe loaders, excavators and bulldozers.
      The AMSOIL Heavy-Duty Grease Series (NLGI #1 and NLGI #2 grades) contain the same viscosity base oils and additives, but contain different amounts of thickener:

• AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy-Duty Grease NLGI #1 contains less thickener than AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy-Duty Grease NLGI #2, making it ideal for cold-weather applications

• AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy-Duty Grease NLGI #2 is recommended for medium- to high-ambient temperatures. Yet, because it is a synthetic lithium complex grease, AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy- Duty Grease NLGI #1 is also excellent for use in high-temperature applications
