PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic Multi-Purpose Greases are qualified
against the highest grease standards and are designed
for multiple use applications. Composed of premium
quality synthetic base oils and lithium complex thickeners,
Multi-Purpose Greases provide superior film strength,
shear resistance, adhesion properties and mechanical stability,
and they excel in temperature extremes by providing
excellent oxidation stability, high temperature dropping
points and low temperature torque values and pumping
capabilities. AMSOIL Synthetic Multi-Purpose Greases are
formulated with oil soluble extreme-pressure additives for
heavy loads, as well as oxidation and corrosion inhibitors
that impart good oxidation stability and rust protection.
PERFORMANCE
FEATURES
- High dropping point of 430°F
- Resists thermal and oxidation
degradation
- Excellent water-washout resistance
- Good low temperature pumpability
and torque values
- Adhesive and shear stable
to prevent squeeze out
Applications or Requirements
- GLA (#0) Cincinnati Milicron P-79 Spec
APPLICATION
RECOMMENDATION
AMSOIL Synthetic Multi-Purpose Grease grade #0 is recommended
in manual or automatic lubricating
systems. NLGI #0
(GLA) has
better mobility and is the
preferred choice for colder
applications, automatic lubrication
systems with long
pumping runs and gear box
applications (where recommended
by manufacturer).
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
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.
