PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic Polymeric Truck, Chassis and Equipment Grease
(GPTR1,
GPTR2) delivers excellent wear
protection and extreme-pressure performance over extended
service intervals in medium- and heavy-duty applications. It
combines select base oils, proprietary synthetic polymeric
chemistry, an advanced additive package and a lithium-complex
thickener for excellent impact resistance, reliable contaminant
control and maximum longevity.
Extreme Impact Resistance
Greasable components on heavy-duty trucks and equipment
regularly operate in severe-service, extreme-pressure
environments. Frequent high-load operation increases the
potential for grease to pound out, which can leave components
vulnerable to increased wear and corrosion. AMSOIL Truck,
Chassis and Equipment Grease is formulated to deliver maximum
pound-out resistance. Its exceptional adhesion and cohesion
properties help keep the grease in place to seal out water and
contaminants and provide a protective barrier between metal
components.
Long Service Life
Most trucking companies work to maximize the amount of time
tractors are on the road, and inferior greases are not
engineered to perform over extended service intervals. The long
intervals truckers demand can result in components being left
unprotected because the grease has squeezed out of place. AMSOIL
Truck, Chassis and Equipment Grease is engineered to remain
intact for maximum protection over extended service intervals.
Owners/operators can be assured their equipment is protected
when the job demands additional time on the road between
maintenance checks.
Superior Rust and Corrosion Protection
Over-the-road trucks and commercial equipment operate in all
types of weather. Water, snow and ice are encountered regularly,
and they combine with salt and other road-deicing chemicals to
promote accelerated rust and corrosion on chassis and
fifth-wheel components. AMSOIL Truck, Chassis and Equipment
Grease clings tenaciously to metal surfaces, helping to keep
rain, snow and other corrosive contaminants from penetrating
greasable components. It is formulated with an advanced additive
package designed to combat the harmful effects of roadway
contaminants, helping components last longer and saving fleets
money.
Maximum Extreme-Pressure Protection
AMSOIL Synthetic Polymeric Truck, Chassis and Equipment Grease
is engineered for maximum protection in extreme-pressure
applications. It features a sophisticated additive package and
exclusive synthetic polymeric technology designed to provide
long-term protection for heavily loaded components. AMSOIL
Truck, Chassis and Equipment Grease’s high Timken OK Load and
excellent Four-Ball Weld Test results prove its superior
performance in extreme-pressure environments.
Ideal for Fleets
AMSOIL Truck, Chassis and Equipment Grease is ideal for mixed
fleets that operate in severe service. It provides exceptional
protection and long service life for a broad range of
applications.
Cost-Effective Choice
AMSOIL Truck, Chassis and Equipment Grease offers enhanced
protection for extended component life, reducing replacement
costs. In addition, its long service life reduces the need for
frequent re-application (or requires less grease at each
servicing), reducing maintenance costs.
Reduced Environmental Impact
Less-tenacious greases are ejected from greased components and
pollute the surrounding environment. AMSOIL Truck, Chassis and
Equipment Grease is formulated to stay in place for long service
intervals, resulting in less grease pollution and reduced grease
consumption. In addition, AMSOIL Truck, Chassis and Equipment
Grease is formulated without the use of barium, chlorine,
antimony or sulfur, which are all potentially harmful to the
environment.
APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL Synthetic Polymeric Truck, Chassis and Equipment Grease
is recommended for heavy-duty over-the-road tractors and
trailers, delivery fleets, dump trucks, refuse haulers, utility
fleets, emergency service vehicles, sewer and septic trucks,
snow removal vehicles, wreckers, municipal service vehicles,
equipment haulers, cement mixer trucks, airport support vehicles
and more.
AMSOIL Synthetic Polymeric Grease provides
exceptional performance in heavily loaded chassis grease points,
wheel bearings, axle assemblies, universal joints, pivot pins,
fifth-wheel hitch plates, steering linkages, spring pins, king
pins, ball joints, water pump bearings and other greased
heavy-duty components.
COMPATIBILITY
AMSOIL Synthetic Polymeric Truck, Chassis and Equipment Grease
is compatible with many other types of grease. However, it is
recommended that when changing greases, the equipment be cleaned
of the old grease or flushed with a liberal amount of AMSOIL
Synthetic Polymeric Grease while the mechanism is in operation.
Closely monitor the system for any inconsistencies. Any grease
compatibility questions should be referred to your AMSOIL Dealer
or AMSOIL INC.
*Note: AMSOIL Synthetic Polymeric Grease is
designed to remain in place for long service intervals. The same
properties that provide its enhanced tenacity can also make it
harder to pump. A heavy follower plate may be necessary when
pumping grease from larger package sizes. AMSOIL Truck, Chassis
and Equipment Grease is not recommended for automatic or
centralized lubrication systems unless the system is designed to
pump a tackier grease.
