Product Information
Full details
The Carlube Molybdenum 2 Grease is an ideal maintenance solution for mechanics and DIY enthusiasts looking for robust lubrication for high-load automotive components like CV joints and steering linkages. By incorporating Molybdenum Disulfide into a high-melting-point lithium base, it provides superior anti-wear protection and extreme durability under heavy pressure. However, users should note that it is a specialized grease, and it is essential to check your vehicle manual to ensure compatibility with your specific bearing or joint type before application.

FAQs
Can I use this for my wheel bearings?
Yes, it is suitable for wheel bearings where recommended by the vehicle manufacturer, especially in high-load conditions.
Is this grease waterproof?
It features high resistance to water washout, making it effective for under-chassis components exposed to the elements.
Can I mix this with other greases?
It is generally compatible with lithium-based greases, but for best performance, it is recommended to clean out the old grease completely.
What is the primary benefit of the Molybdenum Disulfide?
It provides a solid barrier that prevents wear and welding of metal surfaces under extreme pressure.
Is this suitable for high-speed rotating parts?
While it handles high temperatures well, always verify against your vehicle's specific requirements for high-speed bearing lubricants.
Troubleshooting
Grease is too thick to pump through a grease gun
Ensure the grease gun is primed correctly and that the ambient temperature is not freezing. If cold, move the container to a warmer environment.
Signs of metal debris in the used grease
This indicates mechanical wear. Replace the component immediately and apply fresh grease after cleaning the housing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use this grease effectively, ensure all surfaces are thoroughly cleaned of old, contaminated lubricant using a suitable degreaser before application. Apply the grease using a professional grease gun or by hand, depending on the component accessibility. It is compatible with most lithium-based lubricants, but it is best practice to purge old grease completely to prevent chemical incompatibility. Store the 500g container in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed to prevent contamination with dust or moisture. Avoid mixing this product with incompatible synthetic greases unless specified by the vehicle manufacturer.
