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.

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.

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.
