Carlube Lithium EP2 Grease is designed for automotive technicians, DIY mechanics, and industrial operators who require a robust, multi-purpose lubricant for heavy-duty ball and roller bearings. Its primary benefit is providing superior protection against shock loading and high-pressure friction, ensuring long-term mechanical reliability in demanding environments. A key caveat to keep in mind is that while it is highly versatile, it is specifically formulated as an NLGI 2 grease and should not be used in specialized high-speed or extreme-temperature applications that fall outside the -15 C to 120 C operating range.

Yes, its high water washout resistance makes it effective for marine vessel bearings and components exposed to moisture.
It is effective at reducing disc brake squeal when applied to the contact points, but ensure it does not come into contact with the braking surface itself.
This is an NLGI 2 grade grease, which is the standard consistency for most automotive and industrial bearing applications.
The grease is formulated to operate effectively at temperatures up to 120 C.
It is always recommended to purge old grease before applying a new product to ensure compatibility and maximum performance.
While intended for metal bearings, it is generally inert; however, always consult the component manufacturer’s manual for material compatibility.
Minor bleeding is normal; stir the grease thoroughly before use to reintegrate the components.
Over-greasing can lead to heat build-up; check manufacturer guidelines for the correct volume of grease to inject.
Ensure the ambient temperature is above -15 C, as the grease is not rated for performance in extreme sub-zero conditions.
To ensure optimal results, always verify that your equipment or vehicle manual specifies the use of an NLGI 2 Lithium Grease. Before application, remove all traces of previous lubricants, as mixing incompatible greases can lead to chemical separation or decreased performance. Use a clean grease gun for application to prevent the introduction of grit or contaminants. Store the 500g container in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed to prevent the accumulation of dust or moisture. Keep the product away from extreme heat sources to ensure it retains its chemical stability until the expiration date.
