Product Information
Full details
This 4-pack of Carlube Multi Purpose Wheel Bearing Lithium Grease is ideal for vehicle owners and general industrial users seeking robust lubrication for moving parts. Its key benefit is providing excellent protection against wear, corrosion, and water washout across a wide temperature range. A minor caveat is its multipurpose nature, meaning it may not be the specialized choice for extreme pressure applications that require a non-EP grease.

FAQs
What is the main benefit of using Lithium Grease?
Lithium grease provides a good balance of properties, including excellent water resistance, good mechanical stability, and performance across a wide temperature range, making it a versatile choice for many applications.
Is this grease suitable for extremely high-pressure applications?
This is a multipurpose, non-EP grease. For applications involving extreme pressure, a specialized EP grease would be more appropriate.
How often should I reapply this grease?
Reapplication frequency depends on the specific application, operating conditions, and manufacturer recommendations. For wheel bearings, check according to your vehicle's service schedule. For other applications, monitor for signs of wear or reduced lubrication.
Can I use this grease on plastic parts?
While generally safe for many applications, it's always best to check the compatibility with specific plastics. Test on an inconspicuous area first if unsure.
What does 'non-EP' mean?
'Non-EP' stands for 'non-Extreme Pressure.' EP greases contain additives that prevent lubricant film breakdown under very high loads and pressures, which this multipurpose grease does not. This Carlube grease is suitable for moderate load conditions.
How should I store the unused grease tubes?
Store the tubes in a cool, dry place, tightly sealed, and away from direct sunlight to maintain product integrity and prevent contamination.
Troubleshooting
Grease appears stiff or difficult to apply in cold weather.
While offering good low-temperature fluidity, extremely cold conditions can still affect viscosity. Allow the grease to warm slightly before application if possible, or ensure proper application tools are used.
Visible rust or corrosion on lubricated parts.
Ensure the grease was applied thoroughly and that no gaps were left. Reapply grease, ensuring complete coverage, and check for any significant damage to the component itself.
Components are not moving smoothly after greasing.
Clean away old grease and reapply fresh grease. Check for physical obstructions or wear on the component itself, as the grease may not be able to compensate for severe damage.
Water seems to be displacing the grease.
While water-resistant, constant high-pressure water exposure can eventually wash out grease. Ensure components are adequately protected from direct water jets if possible, and reapply grease more frequently in such environments.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Offers excellent protection in both high and low temperatures.
- Provides superior resistance to water washout, ideal for wet conditions.
- Protects against corrosion, extending component life.
- Multi-purpose formulation simplifies inventory for various applications.
- Comes in a convenient 4-pack for common usage.
Cons
- Not a specialized extreme pressure (EP) grease.
- Requires manual application, unlike some automated systems.
- May require reapplication based on usage intensity and environmental factors.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This grease is ready for direct application. Ensure the area to be greased is clean and free from old grease, dirt, and debris before application. Use a grease gun, brush, or spatula to apply a sufficient amount to cover the component, ensuring it reaches all necessary surfaces.
Compatibility:
Carlube LM2 Lithium Grease is compatible with most standard automotive and industrial components requiring general-purpose lubrication. It is designed to be non-EP (Extreme Pressure), making it suitable for applications where high-impact loads are not the primary concern. Always consult your equipment's manual if specific grease types are recommended.
Care:
- Storage: Store the grease tubes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep them sealed when not in use to prevent contamination.
- Application: Apply grease periodically based on the manufacturer's recommendations for the specific component or as service intervals dictate. Over-greasing can sometimes cause issues, so apply judiciously.
- Cleaning: Clean any excess grease from surrounding areas with a clean cloth. If the grease becomes contaminated, it should be removed and replaced.
