PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic Water
Resistant Lithium Complex Grease is an
extreme-pressure multi-purpose grease formulated
specially for wet-duty performance. Its water
washout and sprayoff resistance ideally suit it for
use in the wheel bearings of vehicles and trailers
frequently exposed to water, mud, snow or ice.
The grease is also excellent for use
in plants, such as paper mills, in which machinery
undergoes frequent or prolonged exposure to water.
Water Washout
and Sprayoff Protection
AMSOIL Synthetic Water
Resistant Lithium Complex Grease derives its
superior wet-duty performance from its peerless
cohesiveness and adhesiveness. Because the grease
holds together when exposed to water and clings
tenaciously to metal surfaces even when wet, AMSOIL
Synthetic Water Resistant Lithium Complex Grease
provides tough protection against water. Components
remain protected during prolonged exposure to
standing water or exposure to pressurized water.
Rust and
Corrosion Protection
AMSOIL Synthetic Water
Resistant Lithium Complex Grease protects metal
surfaces from rust and corrosion, both of which may
be hastened or worsened by frequent or prolonged
water contact. It seals metal surfaces against rust
and chemically fights corrosion.
High and Low
Temperature Performance
AMSOIL Synthetic Water
Resistant Lithium Complex Grease reduces friction
effective, helping high-speed components run cooler
than they can with other greases. It resists the
damaging effects of high temperatures and oxidation
so components stay deposit-free for optimal
performance and long life.
AMSOIL Synthetic Water Resistant
Lithium Complex Grease pumps easily at low
temperatures for dependable cold temperature
protection. Its low temperature pumpability makes
the grease an excellent choice for use in automatic
greasing systems.
In fact, AMSOIL Synthetic Water
Resistant Lithium Complex Grease performs over such
a broad temperature range, it may be used in place
of separate high-temperature and low-temperature
greases.
Load Carrying
and Extreme Pressure Performance
AMSOIL Synthetic Water
Resistant Lithium Complex Grease protects components
from metal-to-metal contact even under heavy loads.
Its extreme pressure additives form a shield against
sustained or sudden extreme loads for dependable
protection against wear.
Compatibility
AMSOIL Synthetic Water
Resistant Lithium Complex Grease is compatible with
most seal materials and most other greases.
Service and
Shelf Life
AMSOIL Synthetic Water
Resistant Lithium Complex Grease resists oxidation,
high temperature degradation and additive depletion
so effective, the grease may be used for longer
service intervals than conventional greases may be
used. AMSOIL Synthetic Water Resistant Lithium
Complex Grease also resist oil separation and offers
a long shelf life.
APPLICATION
AMSOIL Synthetic Water
Resistant Lithium Complex Grease meets the highest
performance standards set by the National
Lubrication Grease Institute (NLGI), GC for wheel
bearing applications, and LB for chassis
applications. It may be used in automotive wheel
bearings, chassis or other applications for which an
NLGI No. 1-1/2 GC or LB grease is recommended.
AMSOIL Synthetic Water Resistant
Lithium Complex Grease's unique water resistant
formulation makes it ideal for use in components or
equipment with frequent or prolonged water exposure.
