Product Information
Full details
The Carlube LM2 Lithium Grease is an essential lubricant for automotive enthusiasts and home maintenance DIYers who require a reliable, multipurpose solution for mechanical components. Formulated with premium base oils and Lithium Hydroxy-Stearate soap, it provides excellent wear protection and water resistance, ensuring smooth operation for items like wheel bearings, hinges, and window regulators. While highly effective for a wide range of automotive and industrial tasks, it is a non-EP (Extreme Pressure) grease, meaning it should not be used in heavy-duty, high-shock load machinery where specific EP-rated additives are mandated.

FAQs
Can I use this for my brake calipers?
No, brake calipers require high-temperature specialized brake grease. LM2 is for general automotive and wheel bearing use.
Is this an Extreme Pressure (EP) grease?
No, Carlube LM2 is a non-EP grease designed for standard automotive and light-industrial applications.
How should I clean out old grease?
Use a suitable degreaser or automotive solvent and a lint-free cloth to remove old residue before applying fresh grease.
Does this grease expire?
If stored in a cool, dry place with the cap tightly sealed, the grease can remain effective for several years. Check for signs of oil separation or hardening.
Is it safe for plastic parts?
While generally safe, it is always recommended to test a small, hidden area first if you are unsure about the specific chemical composition of the plastic.
Troubleshooting
Grease is too thick to apply
Ensure the product is stored at room temperature before use. If the tube is very cold, the grease may resist flow.
Lubrication is wearing off too quickly
Clean the component completely of old, dirty, or oxidized grease before applying a fresh layer. Contaminants shorten the life of new lubricant.
Pros and Cons
Pros

Cons
- Not suitable for heavy-duty industrial Extreme Pressure (EP) applications
- Requires manual grease gun or application tool
- Not compatible with all synthetic lubricant blends
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To apply the grease, ensure you have a standard grease gun compatible with 400g cartridges. Always clean the application site thoroughly; mixing incompatible greases—such as mixing lithium-based grease with clay or silicone-based lubricants—can cause the thickener to break down or liquefy. Store the unused tubes in a cool, dry place and ensure the caps are tightened to prevent dust contamination. For bearing maintenance, pack the grease firmly to eliminate air pockets, which can lead to overheating.
