AMSOIL Synthetic Multi-Purpose Grease is
qualified against the highest grease standards
and designed for multiple-use applications.
Composed of premium-quality synthetic base oils
and calcium sulfonate complex thickeners,
Multi-Purpose Grease provides exceptional film
strength, shear resistance, adhesion properties
and mechanical stability. It excels in
temperature extremes by providing excellent
oxidation stability, high-temperature dropping
point and low-temperature torque value and
pumping capability. AMSOIL Synthetic
Multi-Purpose Grease is formulated with oil
soluble extreme-pressure additives for heavy
loads, as well as oxidation and corrosion
inhibitors.
PERFORMANCE
FEATURES
- Resists thermal and
oxidation degradation
- Excellent water-washout
resistance
- Outstanding
low-temperature pumpability and torque value
- Adhesive and shear stable
to prevent squeeze out
- Excellent load-carrying
and EP performance
Application
Recommendation
AMSOIL Synthetic Multi-Purpose Grease 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.
AMSOIL Synthetic Multi-Purpose
Grease is recommended in heavy- and light-duty
applications found in manufacturing facilities,
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.
Compatibility
AMSOIL Synthetic Multi-Purpose Grease is
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.
