Product Information
Full details
This Comma Multipurpose Lithium Grease is designed for automotive professionals and DIY enthusiasts needing a reliable lubricant for a wide range of applications. Its key benefit is excellent temperature tolerance, ensuring performance in both hot and cold conditions. A potential caveat is its NLGI 2 consistency, which might not be suitable for highly specialized, low-temperature applications requiring a softer grease. This premium, lithium-based grease offers good stability and flow characteristics, making it ideal for chassis points, wheel bearings, hubs, universal joints, and electric motor bearings.

FAQs
What is NLGI 2 consistency?
NLGI 2 refers to the National Lubricating Grease Institute's classification for grease consistency. Grade 2 is considered a medium consistency, suitable for a wide range of general-purpose automotive and industrial applications.
Can this grease be used in extreme temperatures?
This grease has good temperature tolerance, performing well in both hot and cold conditions typical for automotive use. However, for extremely specialized applications outside normal automotive ranges, verification of suitability is recommended.
How often should I re-grease components?
Re-greasing intervals depend on the specific application, operating conditions (e.g., exposure to water, load, speed), and manufacturer recommendations. Consult your equipment's service manual for guidance.
Is this grease suitable for wheel bearings?
Yes, this multipurpose lithium grease with NLGI 2 consistency is suitable for most automotive wheel bearing applications.
Can I mix this grease with other types of grease?
It is generally best to avoid mixing greases. While lithium-based greases are common, mixing with different base types or additives could compromise performance. It's advisable to clean out old grease before applying a new type.
What is the shelf life of this grease?
When stored properly in a sealed container in a cool, dry place, lithium-based greases typically have a shelf life of several years. However, performance can degrade over extended periods or if improperly stored.
Troubleshooting
Grease appears stiff or difficult to dispense
Ensure the grease is at room temperature. If stored in a very cold environment, allow it to warm up before use. Check the grease gun for blockages.
Premature lubricant failure or breakdown
Verify the application is suitable for NLGI 2 grease and within the operating temperature range. Ensure the component is not experiencing extreme pressure conditions that require specialized EP grease.
Contamination of grease
Always use clean tools and application methods. Keep the original container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent ingress of dirt and moisture.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Versatile for numerous automotive lubrication needs.
- Performs reliably across a broad temperature range.
- Offers good protection against corrosion and water washout.
- Comes in a large 12.5kg quantity for frequent use or professional settings.
- Stable formulation prevents separation.
Cons
- NLGI 2 consistency may be too thick for certain low-temperature or specialized applications.
- Not specifically formulated for extreme pressure (EP) applications.
- Requires appropriate application tools (e.g., grease gun) for best results.
- Large quantity may be excessive for occasional DIY use.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To apply, use a standard grease gun. Ensure the component to be lubricated is clean and free from old, degraded grease. Dispense grease until it appears at the seal or point of lubrication, avoiding over-greasing which can lead to issues like seal damage or excessive heat.
Compatibility: This grease is generally compatible with most standard automotive grease applications. It is designed for components that typically require NLGI 2 consistency. Avoid mixing with greases of significantly different base types or consistencies unless compatibility is confirmed.
Care: Store the grease in its original container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Keep the container sealed when not in use to prevent contamination by dirt or moisture, which can compromise its performance.
