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 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
Applications or Requirements
- GLB (#1) ASTM D-4950 (NLGI) Service
GC/LB
- GLB (#1) Cincinnati Milicron P-72

APPLICATION
RECOMMENDATION
AMSOIL Synthetic Multi-Purpose
Grease grade #1 is recommended in manual or automatic
lubricating systems. NLGI #1 (GLB) 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.
