Several factors influence grease selection, including its consistency and thickener type, along with your operating conditions. Here’s what you need to know to determine what kind of grease you need.

The most important property of any lubricant is its viscosity, which is typically selected based on the application requirements.

AMSOIL Synthetic Polymeric Off-Road Grease and Synthetic Polymeric Truck, Chassis and Equipment Grease are excellent choices.

These include equipment used in the food service or pharmaceutical industries. They often require NSF-Approved grease, such as AMSOIL X-Treme Synthetic Food Grade Grease, which is designed for a wide operating temperature range.

Similar provisions were contained in the following prior appropriation act: Aug. 1, 1955, ch. 437, title V, § 501, 69 Stat. 411.

Although you might know that synthetic oils outperform conventional oils, you might not understand why. The differences begin at the molecular level.

Some applications require a grease with exceptional cold-weather pumpability, like arctic drilling rigs. Most grease isn’t designed for sub-zero temperatures and will have difficulty pumping and protecting in below freezing temperatures. AMSOIL DOMINATOR® Synthetic Racing Grease has excellent cold temperature properties, including extreme-low-temperature torque performance as low as -40°F.

Whenever there is duly tendered to the Board, by any person, any claim for unemployment compensation pursuant to the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act [45 U.S.C. 351 et seq.], such claim shall be accepted by the Board without delay and appropriate administrative action for the allowance or disallowance of such claim shall be taken by the Board at the earliest practicable time.

Hopefully, this helps you determine what kind of grease is right for your application. If you need further assistance selecting the right AMSOIL products for specific applications, AMSOIL Technical Services is always happy to help at [email protected] or 715-399-TECH.

Greases formulated for these applications are designed to provide additional protection, impact resistance and tackiness beyond what a multi-purpose grease can provide. They are specialty greases that typically identify the type of application and the extreme conditions common to these applications.

You’ll commonly find these components in heavy- and light-duty applications found in manufacturing facilities; automobiles; trailers; and landscaping, agricultural and powersports equipment.

General, multi-purpose greases work great, including AMSOIL Synthetic Multi-Purpose Grease, Synthetic Water-Resistant Grease and DOMINATOR® Synthetic Racing Grease.

GC-LB signifies the grease meets the most demanding test standards for chassis components and wheel bearings. Greases that meet the GC-LB specification typically also meet most automotive original equipment manufacturer requirements.

Numbers range from NLGI #000, which has the consistency of cooking oil, to NLGI #6, which is as thick as cheddar cheese.

The National Lubricating Grease Institute (NLGI) uses a grease penetration classification. NLGI #2 is the most widespread classification and is used in many automotive and heavy-duty applications, such as ball joints and other suspension components. Chances are you’ve used an NLGI #2 grease before.

A common mistake when selecting grease is to confuse the grease consistency with the base oil viscosity. You must consider the application, environment, speeds, loads and OEM recommendations.

AMSOIL Synthetic Polymeric Truck, Chassis and Equipment Grease and High-Viscosity Lithium-Complex Synthetic Grease are great for these applications.

These applications require specialty greases formulated for heavy-duty equipment subjected to severe-service conditions. The grease is designed to provide additional protection beyond what a multi-purpose grease provides.

The Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act, referred to in text, is act June 25, 1938, ch. 680, 52 Stat. 1094, which is classified principally to this chapter. For complete classification of this Act to the Code, see section 367 of this title and Tables.

Consider the appropriate specifications when determining what kind of grease you need. The grease industry provides performance specifications for chassis greases (LA and LB) and wheel bearing greases (GA, GB and GC).
