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.
PERFORMANCE FEATURES
High dropping point of 500°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

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.

The same great AMSOIL Synthetic Multi-Purpose Grease in a convenient spray formulation. Ideal for greasing hard-to-reach equipment such as hinges, springs and other common applications.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL GLC multi-purpose, EP grease is qualified against
the highest grease standards, NLGI GC (wheel bearing) and LB (chassis), and
is designed for multiple use applications. This grease is composed of synthetic
base oils and lithium complex thickeners that provide the film strength,
shear resistance and mechanical stability required for good grease lubrication.
This combination excels in high and low operating temperature ranges by providing
excellent oxidation stability, high temperature dropping points, good low
temperature torque values and good low temperature pumping capabilities. GLC
Grease is compounded with an effective oil soluble extreme-pressure additive
for heavy loads, plus oxidation and corrosion inhibitors that impart good oxidation
stability and rust protection.AMSOIL’s top performing lithium complex
thickener system provides excellent adhesion properties and water resistance
as identified by ASTM D-1264 water washout test. This resistance to water means
a protective film of lubricant remains present to protect equipment against
wear while the corrosion inhibitors prevent rust. AMSOIL GLC Grease adheres
to metal in all types of environments and resists squeeze out during operation.
These qualities ensure maximum lubricant protection during harsh operations.AMSOIL
GLC multi-purpose greases is recommended for many different applications. Its
diversity simplifies lubricant inventories and prevents greasing errors while
providing problem-free operation. AMSOIL GLC Grease reduces repair and maintenance
costs.
