What is Moly lithium grease?

This moly graph lithium grease is the perfect general purpose lubricant. Lithium grease lubricates and protects metal parts with a temperature range of 0 to 300 degrees F. Lubricates and protects metal parts. Temperature range 0° to 300° Fahrenheit. For auto, marine, agriculture and industrial use.

What is the difference between lithium and Moly grease?

Lithium refers to a type of soap base, moly and/or graphite are additives. As for the best, I'd recommend a lithium complex (most common) or calcium complex soap base. Moly is beneficial in many applications, not so good in others(wheel bearings).

What is Moly grease best used for?

Moly greases are generally used in operations where high pressure metal surfaces are sliding against each other. These include roller bearings that have very heavy loads and shock loading. Moly greases are also recommended in slow or oscillating motion that is used in universal and CV joints.

What does Moly grease mean?

Moly grease is a special formulation that is used in situations where metal slides against mental under high pressure and is generally used on pinion gears and splines. This silvery black solid compound, which naturally occurs as the mineral molybdenite, is classified as a metal dichalcogenide.

Does Moly grease have lithium in it?

Product Description. Mobilux EP 2 Moly is a premium quality multi-purpose, lithium-base NLGI No 2 grease recommended for general industrial applications. It contains an extreme-pressure additive for increased load-carrying ability.

LIQUI MOLY Grease

When should you not use Moly grease?

Greases containing molybdenum disulfide shouldn't be used in applications that see excessive amounts of water ingress as the molybdenum disulfide can have a corrosive effect of the metal surfaces, and is not suited for bearings and other components that move at a rapid pace.

Is Moly lithium grease good for wheel bearings?

Greases containing moly are recommended for roller bearings subjected to very heavy loads and shock loading, especially in slow or oscillating motion such as found in universal joints and CV joints.

Is Moly grease good for ball joints?

Moly Reinforced

Some ball joints and disc-brake wheel bearings require this component, which is another reason why you need to refer to manufacturer recommendations to ensure you're using the right grease. Moly grease is usually only beneficial to chassis components and is almost always a viable choice.

What Colour is Moly grease?

Grey – for those containing moly for many off-road equipment specifications, and. White or undyed greases – typically used in paper machines or food-grade applications.

What is the difference between white and red lithium grease?

The difference between the two types of grease is the ingredients used to make the grease. White lithium grease has zinc oxide added to the formulation. It's meant for use in moderate load applications. It also stands out because it has a more visually appealing white color.

Is Moly grease good for high speed bearings?

SealXpert Hi-Speed Moly Grease can be used on bearings in electric machinery designed to reduce energy and current usage as well as on high speed conveyance linear motion devices and ball screws. SealXpert Hi-Speed Moly Lubes can also be used on machine tool spindles and other bearings that revolve at high-speeds.

What is lithium grease used for?

Lithium grease is the most commonly used lubricating grease around the globe - accounting for 75% of lubricating applications across all industries. In the automotive industry it is commonly used as a lubricant in wheel bearing and chassis applications.

What is the advantage of lithium grease?

Lithium grease is a multipurpose grease known for its durability, high viscosity, and stability. It is designed to provide long-lasting protection against oxidation, corrosion, extreme temperatures, and wear and tear.

Which grease is best for bearings?

Lithium based greases are very popular as bearing grease due to their water resistance and performance characteristics in both high and low temperatures. Greases comprised of synthetic lubricating fluids perform well in extreme low and high temperature ranges.

What is the best grease for CV joints?

A good quality clean (fresh) molybdenum disulfide grease is typically sufficient for CV joints.

Does the color of grease mean anything?

One thing we are sure of, however – color does not denote a particular type of grease, whether it is red, green, blue or yellow. The color is simply a dye added by manufacturers for marketing purposes, to more easily distinguish the different greases in their product lines.

Which grease is best?

What is the best high temp grease?

WD-40 Specialist High-Temp Grease excels at high-temperature lubrication. It has a drop point of 625 degrees and works well between -40 degrees and 325 degrees Fahrenheit. WD-40 Specialist High-Temp Grease is designed to lower friction and lengthen the life of machinery with high-speed bearings.

Is 3 Moly grease good for wheel bearings?

ADVANTAGE LITHIUM COMPLEX 3% MOLY EP GREASE is designed for chassis parts and wheel bearings of construction, mining and other heavy mobile equipment, as well as constant-velocity joints, universal joints, brake self adjusting screws and clutch release bearings on heavy equipment.

What type of grease is commonly used in ball joints?

Grease – You should use the OEM suggested grease or a Heavy Duty Lithium Synthetic or Marine grease. These are perfect for automotive applications and will last longer than other types.

Is CV joint grease the same as wheel bearing grease?

CV joint grease is often manufactured to NLGI Grade 1 and would therefore not be suitable for ball or roller wheel bearings. Grease is essentially an oil-delivery system. It is the oil contained in the suspension grease that provides the lubrication. A good grease is about 60 percent lubricating oil.

What happens if you over grease a bearing?

Too much grease volume (overgreasing) in a bearing cavity will cause the rotating bearing elements to begin churning the grease, pushing it out of the way, resulting in energy loss and rising temperatures.

What grease should I use on wheel hub?

Most wheel bearings require an NLGI 2 grade grease, while some sealed hub units require an NLGI 00 grade semi-fluid product. For those cases, the NLGI GC-LB or SAE J2695 consistency requirements do not apply.

How long does Moly grease last?

Storage life of moly lubes is 60 months is kept in unopened containers (except for SealXpert G-Rapid Spray which has shelf life of 3 years). Avoid exposure to heat sources such as direct sunlight or steam pipes. To avoid contamination of molybdenum lubricants with water, do not store outdoors.
