DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic High-Viscosity Grease (GVC) is a
lithium-complex-thickened grease blended with premium ISO-320 synthetic base
oils. This grease is fully compounded with additives providing EP
protection, oxidation resistance and rust and corrosion protection. AMSOIL
High-Viscosity Grease is shear stable, maintaining its viscosity and
consistency in the presence of mechanical activity. It also stays in place
by resisting water washout. During high-temperature operation, AMSOIL
High-Viscosity Grease’s thickener system remains intact and the
high-viscosity base oils resist thermal breakdown, providing a thick film
for good boundary lubrication protection. AMSOIL GVC adheres to critical
components in severe conditions to provide problem-free operation, resulting
in increased uptime and reduced repair and maintenance costs.
APPLICATION
AMSOIL Synthetic High-Viscosity Grease is excellent for use in
heavy-duty industrial and off-road applications where equipment operates
under adverse conditions, including exposure to environmental elements,
slow, heavily-loaded applications and shock-loading conditions. AMSOIL
High-Viscosity Grease is formulated to excel in wet applications requiring
excellent water resistance and in high-temperature applications up to 177ºC
(350°F) in continuous service and 204ºC (400°F) in intermittent service. The
lithium-complex thickener system and high-viscosity base oil provide top
performance in hostile environments and heavy-duty industrial or offroad
applications where typical multi-purpose greases may not perform up to
standards.
AMSOIL High-Viscosity Grease is compatible with many other
types of greases. 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 the new 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
Technical Services.
APPLICATION MAINTENANCE
Maintaining a clean work environment is important when equipment
greasing is performed. Wipe grease fittings clean prior to injecting grease
to prevent contaminant ingestion. Maintain bearing housings one-third to
onehalf full of grease. Prevent over-greasing as this can result in
excessive heat buildup. Supplement standard grease maintenance by
periodically cleaning and packing housings with fresh grease on an
established maintenance schedule.
