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.
