AMSOIL Synthetic Multi-Purpose Grease is qualified against the highest
grease standards and designed for multiple-use applications. Composed
of premium-quality synthetic base oils and calcium sulfonate
complex thickeners, Multi-Purpose Grease provides exceptional film
strength, shear resistance, adhesion properties and mechanical stability.
It excels in temperature extremes by providing excellent oxidation
stability, high-temperature dropping point and low-temperature torque
value and pumping capability. AMSOIL Synthetic Multi-Purpose Grease
is formulated with oil soluble extreme-pressure additives for heavy loads,
as well as oxidation and corrosion inhibitors.
PERFORMANCE
FEATURES
- Resists thermal and oxidation degradation
- Excellent water-washout resistance
- Outstanding low-temperature pumpability and torque value
- Adhesive and shear stable to prevent squeeze out
- Excellent load-carrying and EP performance
Application Recommendation
AMSOIL Synthetic Multi-Purpose Grease 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.
AMSOIL Synthetic Multi-Purpose Grease is recommended in heavy- and light-duty
applications found in manufacturing facilities, 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.
Compatibility
AMSOIL Synthetic Multi-Purpose 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 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 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 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.
