PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL
Synthetic GVC is a
lithium complex
thickened grease blended
with premium ISO-320
synthetic base oils.
This grease is fully
compounded with
additives providing EP
protection, oxidation
resistance and rust and
corrosion protection.
AMSOIL GVC is shear
stable, maintaining its
viscosity and
consistency in the
presence of mechanical
activity, and GVC stays
in place by resisting
water washout. During
high-temperature
operation, GVC's
thickener system remains
intact and the high
viscosity base oils
resist thermal breakdown
and provide a thick film
of lubricant for good
boundary lubrication.
AMSOIL GVC adheres to
critical components in
sever conditions and
provides problem-free
operation, resulting in
increased uptime and
reduced repair and
maintenance costs.
APPLICATION
AMSOIL GVC is excellent
for use in heavy duty
industrial and off road
applications where
equipment is working
under adverse conditions
such as exposure to
environmental elements,
slow, heavily-loaded
applications and
shock-loading
conditions. Use GVC in
wet applications
requiring excellent
water resistance and in
high temperature
applications up to 350°F
continuous service and
400°F intermittent
service. The lithium
complex thickener system
and high viscosity base
oil provide top
performance in hostile
environments and heavy
duty industrial or of
road applications where
typical multipurpose
greases may not perform
up to standards.
AMSOIL GVC 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
new grease while the
mechanism is in
operation. Closely
monitor the system for
any inconsistencies. Any
grease compatibility
questions should be
referred to your AMSOIL
representative or AMSOIL
Industrial for
assistance.
APPLICATION
MAINTENANCE
Maintaining a clean work
environment is important
when equipment greasing
is performed. Wipe
grease fittings clean
prior to injecting
grease to prevent
contaminant ingestion.
Maintain bearing
housings one-third to
one-half full of grease.
Prevent over-greasing as
excessive heat build up
can result. Supplement
standard grease
maintenance by
periodically cleaning
and packing housings
with fresh grease on an
established maintenance
schedule.
