PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic Multi-Purpose Grease grade #2
is recommended in manual or automatic lubricating systems.
NLGI #2 (GLC) is the preferred choice for medium to high
ambient temperatures, sleeve type bushings, high shock loading environments,
wet environments and wheel bearings and other automotive applications.
The correct consistency grade of AMSOIL Synthetic
Multi-Purpose Grease is recommended in heavy and light duty applications
found in manufacturing plants, automobiles, agricultural and construction
equipment.
These include, but are not limited to, roller bearings,
plain bearings, thrust bearings, gears, electric motors, presses, winches,
bushings, wheel bearings, chassis lubrication, universal joints, ball
joints, tie-rod ends, and steering knuckles. AMSOIL Synthetic Multi-Purpose
Greases are suitable for use up to 350 degrees F. When operating at elevated
temperatures, frequent regreasing may be required.
AMSOIL Synthetic Multi-Purpose Greases are 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 Multi-Purpose Grease while the mechanism is in
operation. Closely monitor the system for any inconsistencies. Grease
compatibility questions should be referred to your AMSOIL representative or
AMSOIL Inc.

APPLICATION RECOMMENDATION
AMSOIL GLC Greases grade #2 is recommended for use
in manual or automatic lubricating systems. NLGI #2 (GLC) is the preferred
choice for medium to high ambient temperatures, sleeve type bushings, high
shock loading environments, wet environments. and is the primary choice for
wheel bearings.
The correct consistency grade of AMSOIL GL multi-purpose
greases are recommended for use in heavy and light duty applications found
in manufacturing plants, automotive applications, agricultural equipment and
construction equipment. These include, but are not limited to, roller
bearings, plain bearings, thrust bearings, gears, electric motors, presses,
winches, bushings, wheel bearings. chassis lubrication, universal joints,
ball joints, tie-rod ends, and steering knuckles. AMSOIL GL greases are
suitable for use up to 350 F When operating at elevated temperatures,
frequent regreasing may be required.
AMSOIL GL Lithium Complex Greases are 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 GL grease while the mechanism is in operation.
Closely monitor the system for any inconsistencies. Grease compatibility
questions should be referred to your AMSOIL representative or AMSOIL Inc.
APPLICATION MAINTENANCE
Maintaining a clean work environment is important when
equipment greasing is performed. Wipe grease fitting clean prior to
injecting grease to prevent contaminant ingestion. Maintain bearing housings
one-third to one-half full of grease. Do not over-grease, as excessive heat
buildup can result. Supplement standard grease maintenance by periodically
cleaning and packing housings with fresh grease on an established
maintenance schedule.
