PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL GH Series Extreme Pressure greases are qualified
against the highest grease standard, NLGI GC (wheel bearing) and LB
(chassis), and are designed for heavy duty applications. These greases are
composed of synthetic base oils and lithium-complex thickeners that
provide 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, good low temperature torque values and
good low temperature pumping capabilities. The GH Greases are 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.
The presence of moly provides an extra measure of
protection in shock loading situations common in both construction and
agricultural use. During heavy shock loading, the lubricant film between
metal surfaces can be temporarily ruptured, but moly remains intact to
prevent metal to metal contact which could cause equipment damage. Moly
also assists in dirty environments or when proper re-greasing intervals
are not followed.
AMSOIL's top performing lithium complex thickener system
provides excellent water resistance as identified by the ASTM D-1264 water
washout test. Therefore, even in wet conditions a lubricant film remains
present to protect equipment against wear while the corrosion inhibitors
prevent rust. AMSOIL GH greases adhere to metal and are shear stable
during severe mechanical activity. These features mean the grease does not
thin during operation, but rather it maintains its consistency and stays
in place to provide good lubrication.
PERFORMANCE FEATURES
- Moly Fortified for added EP protection
- Adhesive and Shear Stable - prevents squeeze out
- High dropping point (exceeds 500ºF)
- Excellent water-washout resistance
- Oxidation and corrosion inhibited
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 GH EP Moly 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, gears, bushings, thrust bearings, 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 GH greases are suitable for use
up to 325º F. When operating at elevated temperatures, frequent regreasing
may be required.
AMSOIL GH Lithium Complex 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 the GL 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.
AMSOIL PRODUCT AVAILABILITY
AMSOIL GH Series Greases are available in 14-oz.
cartridges, 16-oz. tubs (GHD only), 35-lb. pails, 120-lb. kegs and 400-lb.

Testimonials

Peter Virgona of Merrick, NY is a self-proclaimed oil enthusiast.
“I do a great deal of reading and research, always looking for the best oil,”
Virgona said. “The more I read the more I realized AMSOIL was the best ‘true’
synthetic I could buy. After using Mobil 1 since 1986, I made the switch to
AMSOIL.”
Virgona drives a 1999 Ford Crown Victoria with nearly 98,000 miles on the engine.
He switched from Mobil 1 to AMSOIL 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil.
“The difference was immediate and signifi - cant,” Virgona said. “The idle
became much smoother. There are times I can’t tell if the car is running. It
also became much more responsive to the gas pedal, so much more responsive my
wife asked me what I did to the car.”
He has owned the car for almost nine years. “Not surprisingly, the gas mileage
improved signifi cantly,” he said. “This car always averaged 15 mpg going back
and forth from work. It now averages 16.5 mpg. That’s a 10 percent increase.
I truly didn’t expect such a big change.”
He waited to report his fi ndings until after he had driven the car at least
5,000 miles “to confi rm that the numbers are average and not just a fl uke.”
Virgona also installed AMSOIL 5W-30 in his sister-in-law’s 1996 Dodge Caravan
with a 3.0 litre V6 engine. She had always used conventional motor oil with
regular oil changes every 3,000 miles, Virgona said.
“Nonetheless, she had a signifi cant amount of sludge that was obvious under
the oil cap,” he said. “She also experienced a very loud lifter noise that would
come and go with the engine either hot or cold. Presumably the sludge was affecting
the oil circulation to the lifters.”
Oil consumption in the van was increasing, using about one quart every 1,500
to 2,000 miles.
“I switched her to AMSOIL and put in a new fi lter,” Virgona said. “Within
1,000 miles the lifter noise was all but gone. By 3,000 miles, virtually all
the sludge was gone. I drained and refi lled the oil a second time with AMSOIL
5W-30. The oil consumption is now down to one quart every 3,000 miles, with
no more lifter noise. And, except for a little yellow varnish, all the sludge
is gone.
“I am very happy with AMSOIL and plan to use it from now on. I recommend it
to anyone who wants a great synthetic oil.”
Virgona just had a case shipped to his father-in-law in Florida because he
believes in AMSOIL products, he said, and wants others to experience their benefi
ts. In fact, he’s considering becoming a Dealer. The more I read the more I
realized AMSOIL was the best ‘true’ synthetic I could buy.

Better Fuel Mileage
Better Fuel Economy
Fuel economy is becoming more important with each passing year. Gas and diesel prices keep rising, putting a major strain on businesses that rely on vehicles and heavy equipment in their daily operations. AMSOIL synthetic lubricants improve fuel economy by allowing moving parts to move more freely, using less energy and creating less friction than when conventional lubricants are used.
The use of AMSOIL synthetic motor oil, gear lubes and transmission fluids can have a profound impact on fuel economy. Industry tests demonstrate an average conservative decrease in fuel consumption by two to five percent by switching to synthetic lubricants. Many AMSOIL customers report even larger gains in fuel economy.

Reduce Americas dependence on foreign oil!
AMSOIL synthetic motor oils are designed for extended drain intervals
and reduce the amount of oil used by as much as 80%. Fewer oil changes
means less oil used. Better fuel economy means less oil being imported. |
