AMSOIL Synthetic Lithium Complex Heavy-Duty Grease is formulated specifically to protect low-speed/high-load components such as steering knuckles, front axle shafts and other heavy-duty components in transportation, logging, farming, mining or construction applications. AMSOIL Synthetic Lithium Complex Heavy-Duty Grease is also ideal for use in plants, such as steel mills, in which equipment frequently carries extreme loads over prolonged periods or is subject to shock loads.
AMSOIL Synthetic Lithium Complex Heavy-Duty Grease protects components from metal-to-metal contact in conditions of extreme-load and low-speed. Synthetic base oils and lithium complex thickeners provide the film strength, shear resistance and mechanical stability critical to high-load protection while highly effective extreme-pressure additives form a shield of protection against extreme loads. Additionally, AMSOIL Synthetic Lithium Complex Heavy-Duty Grease is fortified with molybdenum, which armors components and takes the brunt of excessive loads so lubricated surfaces don’t. So thorough is the protection afforded by AMSOIL Synthetic Lithium Complex Heavy-Duty Grease, users report significantly reduced rates of wear, which helps equipment maintain optimal performance and extends equipment service life.
AMSOIL Synthetic Lithium Complex Heavy-Duty Grease is a highly effective friction reducer, helping components run in their optimal temperature range and increasing efficiency by reducing power consumption. Its outstanding thermal and oxidative stability allow the grease to maintain its protective consistency and deposit-resistance in high temperatures, optimizing component performance and service life. AMSOIL Synthetic Lithium Complex Heavy-Duty Grease pumps easily at low temperatures for dependable cold temperature protection. Its low temperature pumpability also makes the grease an ideal choice for use in automatic greasing systems. AMSOIL Synthetic Lithium Complex Heavy-Duty Grease performs over such a broad temperature range, it may be used in place of separate high-temperature and low-temperature greases.
AMSOIL Synthetic Lithium Complex Heavy-Duty Grease forms a tough barrier against water so surfaces remain protected even when operating in standing water or water spray.
AMSOIL Synthetic Lithium Complex Heavy-Duty Grease seals surfaces from rust and chemically fights corrosion to ensure ongoing surface integrity.
AMSOIL Synthetic Lithium Complex Heavy-Duty Grease is compatible with most seal materials and most other greases.
AMSOIL Synthetic Lithium Complex Heavy-Duty Grease resists oxidation, high temperature degradation and additive depletion so effectively, the grease may be used for longer service intervals than conventional greases may be used. AMSOIL Synthetic Lithium Complex Heavy-Duty Grease also resists oil separation and offers a long shelf life.
AMSOIL Synthetic Lithium Complex Heavy-Duty Grease meets the highest performance standards set by the National Lubricating Grease Institute (NLGI), GC for wheel bearing applications and LB for chassis applications. It may be used in automotive wheel bearings, chassis or any application for which NLGI No. 2 GC or LB grease is recommended.
AMSOIL warrants that the use of its products will not cause mechanical damage to any mechanically sound equipment when AMSOIL products are used in full compliance with AMSOIL recommendations.
