AMSOIL NLGI #2 100% SYNTHETIC POLYMERIC OFF-ROAD GREASE

AMSOIL NLGI #2 Synthetic Polymeric Off-Road Grease delivers extreme-pressure protection and impact resistance for heavy equipment operating in the harshest conditions. Built around a proprietary synthetic polymeric system and calcium-sulfonate complex thickener, it stays in place where conventional greases get squeezed out, protecting heavily loaded pins, bushings, and pivot points on dozers, excavators, loaders, and agricultural equipment.

Heavy-duty off-road equipment takes a beating that most greases simply cannot handle. Every time a bucket digs into a hillside or a loader slams down on uneven terrain, the full force of that impact concentrates on greased pivot points. Standard greases get pushed out of the contact zone under that kind of load, leaving metal surfaces unprotected. Components like bucket pins, king pins, and track loader bushings wear out fast when the grease meant to protect them has already been ejected. Add rain, mud, and standing water into the equation, and you have a recipe for accelerated failure and expensive downtime.

RESISTS IMPACT AND STAYS IN PLACE UNDER EXTREME LOADS
The proprietary synthetic polymeric technology in this grease provides exceptional adhesion to metal surfaces and cohesion to itself. That combination means it resists being squeezed out of the contact zone during the repetitive pounding that off-road equipment endures daily. Where lesser greases migrate away from the impact area and leave components running metal-to-metal, AMSOIL Off-Road Grease clings to the surfaces that need protection. It reduces the amount of grease ejected during repetitive pounding action, which translates directly to longer-lasting protection between greasing intervals. The Timken OK Load test result of 75+ lbs. (ASTM D-2509) and a four-ball weld point exceeding 620 kgf (ASTM D-2596) confirm its load-bearing capacity under extreme pressure.

HEAVILY FORTIFIED WITH MOLY FOR PIN AND BUSHING PROTECTION
AMSOIL Off-Road Grease is formulated with a high concentration of molybdenum disulfide to meet Caterpillar's recommendation for 5 percent moly in pin and bushing applications. Moly provides a solid-film lubricant layer that protects surfaces even when grease film thickness is momentarily compromised under shock loads. The four-ball wear test result of less than 0.45 mm scar diameter (ASTM D-2266) demonstrates the level of wear protection this formulation delivers. This makes it a direct fit for Caterpillar excavators, dozers, and wheel loaders, as well as other heavy equipment brands that specify moly-fortified grease for pin joints.

EXCELLENT WATER WASHOUT RESISTANCE
Equipment working in rain, mud, river crossings, or washdown environments needs grease that does not dissolve or get flushed away. AMSOIL Off-Road Grease scored just 1% loss in ASTM D-1264 water washout testing, meaning it maintains its seal on greased components even with direct water exposure. That seal helps prevent water and contaminants from entering wear-prone areas on excavator shovels, feller bunchers, drag lines, and other equipment that regularly operates in wet conditions.

CALCIUM-SULFONATE COMPLEX THICKENER FOR INHERENT EP PERFORMANCE
The calcium-sulfonate complex thickener is not just a carrier for the base oil. It contributes its own extreme-pressure properties to the formulation, delivering inherent load-carrying ability that other thickener types like lithium complex cannot match on their own. The dropping point of 343°C (650°F) per ASTM D-2265 provides a wide margin of thermal stability, well above the operating temperatures found in off-road pin and bushing applications.

EXTENDED SERVICE INTERVALS, REDUCED GREASE CONSUMPTION
Because this grease stays in place and resists ejection under impact, less grease is needed per application and intervals between greasing can be extended. Field testing has shown reduced grease consumption, which gives operators two options: maintain their current greasing schedule and use less product per interval, or extend the time between re-greasing. Either way, the result is lower lubricant costs, less labor, and better protection for expensive components like track loader pins, skid steer bushings, and fifth-wheel plates.

SPECIFICATIONS AND COMPATIBILITY
AMSOIL NLGI #2 Synthetic Polymeric Off-Road Grease is designed for heavy-duty, heavy-load-bearing applications in agricultural, construction, landscaping, logging, and mining environments. It is suitable for power shovels, drag lines, wheel and track loaders, fifth-wheel plates, excavators, bulldozers, skid steers, dump trucks, and other equipment with heavily loaded pivot pins, king pins, bucket pins, and bushings. It meets Caterpillar's recommendation for 5 percent moly content in pin and bushing applications.

This grease is compatible with many other grease types. When switching from another product, clean old grease from the equipment when possible or flush with a liberal amount of AMSOIL Off-Road Grease while the mechanism is in operation and monitor for any inconsistencies.

PUMPABILITY NOTE
The same properties that make this grease tenacious under load can make it harder to pump in cold conditions. NLGI #2 (GPOR2) pumps best in temperatures above 40°F. For colder environments, AMSOIL also offers an NLGI #1 version (GPOR1) that pumps best above 0°F. This grease is not recommended for automatic or centralized lubrication systems unless the system is designed to handle a tackier grease. A heavy follower plate may be necessary when pumping from larger package sizes.
