Synthetic GL Series
Multi-Purpose EP Spray Grease
Reduces friction and wear in high-speed/high-temperature components such as automotive wheel bearings and electric motors. It keeps components running clean and trouble-free for outstanding performance and long life. Product Codes: GLA, GLB, GLC
The same great AMSOIL Synthetic Multi-Purpose Grease in a convenient spray formulation. Ideal for greasing hard-to-reach equipment such as hinges, springs and many other common applications.
Product Applications or Requirements
- GLC (#2) ASTM D-4950 (NLGI) Service GC/LB
- GLC (#2) Mack MG-C
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL GL Series multi-purpose, EP grease is qualified against the highest grease standards*, NLGI GC (wheel bearing) and LB (chassis), and is designed for multiple use applications. This grease is composed of synthetic base oils and lithium complex thickeners that provide the film strength, shear resistance and mechanical stability required for good grease lubrication. This combination excels in high and low operating temperature ranges by providing excellent oxidation stability, high temperature dropping points, good low temperature torque values and good low temperature pumping capabilities. The GL Grease is compounded with an effective oil soluble extreme-pressure additive for heavy loads, plus oxidation and corrosion inhibitors that impart good oxidation stability and rust protection.
AMSOIL’s top performing lithium complex thickener system provides excellent adhesion properties and water resistance as identified by ASTM D-1264 water washout test. This resistance to water means a protective film of lubricant remains present to protect equipment against wear while the corrosion inhibitors prevent rust. AMSOIL GL Grease adheres to metal in all types of environments and resists squeezing out during operation. These qualities ensure maximum lubricant protection during harsh operations.
AMSOIL GL multi-purpose grease is recommended for many different applications. Its diversity simplifies lubricant inventories and prevents greasing errors while providing problem-free operation. AMSOIL GL Grease reduces repair and maintenance costs.
PERFORMANCE FEATURES
- High dropping point of 500°F+ (#2)
- Resists thermal and oxidation degradation (lasts longer than conventional grease)
- Excellent water-washout resistance
- Good low temperature pumpability and torque values
- Adhesive and shear stable to prevent squeeze out
* Applicable only to NLGI Consistency Grades #1 and #2
APPLICATION RECOMMENDATION
AMSOIL GL Lithium Complex 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 the GL grease while the mechanism is ir 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 fitting clean prior to injecting grease to prevent contaminant ingestion. Maintain bearing housings one-third to one-hall full of grease. Do not over-grease, as excessive heal buildup can result. Supplement standard grease maintenance by periodically cleaning and packing housings with fresh grease on an established maintenance schedule.
