AUTOMOTIVE GREASES
Detail Description
Recommended for use in automotive wheel bearings on all types of trucks, cars, farm equipment.
When used in truck & bus hub bearings gives long grease life.
Features and Benefits
- Excellent retention properties under extended working condition leading to increased equipment / bearing life.
- Excellent shear stability i.e. resistance to hardening or thinning during use.
- EP additive ensures greater protection against heavy & shock loads
- Excellent resistance to throw off & water wash
- Maximum protection offered against rust & corrosion
