PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL
GLC 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. GLC 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 GLC
Grease adheres to metal in
all types of environments
and resists squeeze out
during operation. These
qualities ensure maximum
lubricant protection during
harsh operations.
AMSOIL GLC multi-purpose
greases is recommended for
many different applications.
Its diversity simplifies
lubricant inventories and
prevents greasing errors
while providing problem-free
operation. AMSOIL GLC Grease
reduces repair and
maintenance costs.

APPLICATION
RECOMMENDATION
NLGI #2 (GLC) is the
preferred choice for medium
to high ambient
temperatures, sleeve type
bushings, high shock loading
environments, wet
environments. and is the
primary choice for wheel
bearings.
The correct consistency
grade of AMSOIL GL
multi-purpose greases are
recommended for use in heavy
and light duty applications
found in manufacturing
plants, automotive
applications, agricultural
equipment and construction
equipment. These include,
but are not limited to,
roller bearings, plain
bearings, thrust bearings,
gears, electric motors,
presses, winches, bushings,
wheel bearings. chassis
lubrication, universal
joints, ball joints, tie-rod
ends, and steering knuckles.
AMSOIL GL greases are
suitable for use up to 350°
F. When operating at
elevated temperatures,
frequent regreasing may be
required.
AMSOIL GL Lithium Complex
Greases are 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 in
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-half full
of grease. Do not
over-grease, as excessive
heat buildup can result.
Supplement standard grease
maintenance by periodically
cleaning and packing
housings with fresh grease
on an established
maintenance schedule.
