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.
