AMSOIL Synthetic GL
Series
Multi-Purpose EP Grease, NLGI #2
Reduces friction and wear in high-speed,
high-temperature components such as automotive wheel
bearings and electric motors. Keeps components running
clean and trouble free for outstanding performance and
long-life. NLGI #0 and NLGI #1 greases have better mobility and
are preferred for cold temperature and automatic pump
systems. NLGI #2 is the primary wheel bearing
recommendation.

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
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.
