Unparalleled protection for boat trailer wheel bearings
and other components frequently exposed to water.
Stays in place, lubricates and prevents rust.
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.
