Product Information
Full details
Carlube Lithium EP2 Grease is designed for automotive technicians, industrial mechanics, and DIY enthusiasts who require a robust, multi-purpose lubricant for high-pressure bearing applications. Its primary benefit is the combination of extreme pressure protection and water washout resistance, making it ideal for high-load components; however, users should note its specific temperature operating range of -15C to 120C when planning for extreme cold-start environments.

FAQs
What is the operating temperature range?
Carlube Lithium EP2 functions effectively between -15C and 120C.
Can I use this for my wheel bearings?
Yes, it is specifically designed for high-load ball and roller bearings, including automotive wheel bearings.
Is this grease waterproof?
It offers high resistance to water washout, making it suitable for components exposed to moisture.
Can it help with brake noise?
Yes, its formulation is effective at preventing disc brake squeal when applied correctly to appropriate metal-on-metal contact points.
How should I store the grease?
Store in a cool, dry area with the lid tightly secured to prevent oxidation and contamination.
Troubleshooting
Grease leaking from bearing housing
Check if the housing was over-packed; remove excess grease and inspect seals for wear.
Noise persists after application
Ensure the old grease was fully purged; check the bearing for physical damage that lubrication cannot fix.
Grease consistency appears too stiff
Verify the operating temperature is within the -15C to 120C range; the product may be too cold for the current environment.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent high-pressure load-bearing capacity
- High resistance to water washout
- Versatile multi-purpose application
- Effective at reducing mechanical noise like brake squeal
- Good thermal stability up to 120C
Cons
- Not suitable for environments below -15C
- Requires proper cleanup of old grease to ensure effectiveness
- Not intended for specialized high-temperature extreme heat applications above 120C
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before applying the grease, clean the target surface or bearing housing thoroughly to remove dirt, debris, and existing contaminants. Use a grease gun or manual application tool to pack the bearing according to the manufacturer's specified volume—avoid over-packing, as this can lead to overheating. This grease is compatible with most standard lithium-based lubricants but should not be mixed with non-lithium synthetic greases without verifying compatibility. Store the container in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is sealed tightly to prevent moisture contamination and oxidation of the product.
