PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL GH Series
Heavy Duty EP grease is composed
of synthetic base oils and
lithium-complex thickeners that
provides the film strength,
shear resistance, and mechanical
stability critical to high load
protection. This combination
excels in high and low operating
temperature ranges by providing
excellent oxidation stability,
high temperature dropping points
and good low temperature torque
values and pumping capabilities.
AMSOIL Heavy Duty EP Grease is
compounded with oxidation and
corrosion inhibitors, effective
oil soluble EP additives and
molybdenum disulfide (moly)
solid EP additives for all
around protection in severe
conditions.
AMSOIL Heavy Duty EP Grease is
formulated with a top performing
lithium complex thickener system
that provides excellent water
resistance as identified by the
ASTM D-1264 water washout test.
AMSOIL Heavy Duty EP Grease
adheres to metal and is shear
stable during severe mechanical
activity, maintaining
consistency and providing
superior lubrication protection.

APPLICATION RECOMMENDATION
AMSOIL GH Greases in grades #1
and #2 are recommended for use
in manual or automatic
lubricating systems. NLGI #1 (GHB)
greases have better mobility and
are the preferred choice for
colder applications, for
automatic lubrication systems
with long pumping runs, and for
gear box applications (where
recommended by manufacturer).
NLGI #2 (GHD) is the preferred
choice for medium to high
ambient temperatures, sleeve
type bushings, high shock
loading environments, high water
environments, and is the primary
choice for wheel bearings.
The correct consistency grade of
AMSOIL Heavy Duty EP Grease is
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, gears,
bushings, wheel bearings,
chassis lubrication, universal
joints, ball joints, tie-rod
ends, steering knuckles, and
heavily loaded pivot pins on
mining and off road equipment
such as power shovels,
draglines, wheel and back hoe
loaders, excavators and
bulldozers. AMSOIL Heavy Duty EP
Greases are suitable for use up
to 325º F. When operating at
elevated temperatures, frequent
regreasing may be required.
AMSOIL Heavy Duty EP Greases are
compatible with many other types
of grease. 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 AMSOIL Heavy
Duty EP 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 INC.
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. 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.
