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 GVC is shear stable, maintaining its viscosity
and consistency in the presence of mechanical activity,
and GVC 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 and provides problem-free operation,
resulting in increased uptime and reduced repair and
maintenance costs.
APPLICATION
AMSOIL GVC 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. Use GVC 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 off-road applications where
typical multipurpose 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 the AMSOIL Industrial Department
for assistance.
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.
