Manufacturer's description

PETRONAS Grease LiX EP 2/170 is recommended for use in all general-purpose automotive commercial transport vehicles and chassis applications. It is particularly suitable for lubricating roller and friction bearings under extreme-pressure load at high temperature, and is specifically recommended for wheel bearing and propeller shaft lubrication of commercial/utility vehicles and passenger cars, covering all application areas specified by OEMs such as MAN, MB and Volvo for this type of lithium complex grease. Other uses include industrial and marine applications, chassis components and farm equipment. Its sticky, adhesive and cohesive formulation stays in applications for longer periods, giving excellent pumpability, enhanced worked stability, reduced bearing cage and roller wear, extreme corrosion protection and superb water resistance. The recommended operating temperature range is -25°C to +140°C, with a short-time admissible peak of +220°C. Grease LiX EP 2/170 meets Mercedes-Benz 265.1, Volvo Std 1277.2 (97720) and MAN 284 Li-H2, and has proven performance in Scania trucks. It has a worked penetration of 280 mm/10, a dropping point above 260°C and a base oil viscosity of 170 cSt at 40°C.

Applications

  • Petronas Grease LiX 2/170 is a long-life, green, lithium-complex NLGI 2 grease.
  • Developed specifically for high-temperature commercial-vehicle use and a wide variety of industry applications, including marine.
  • It contains EP additives plus oxidation, rust and corrosion inhibitors to meet stringent equipment-builder and OEM specifications.
  • It provides exceptional wear protection, good water-wash resistance and rust inhibition, while dispensing at low temperatures and offering long life in applications at elevated temperatures.
  • Recommended for general-purpose automotive commercial transport vehicles and chassis applications, and particularly suitable for lubricating roller and friction bearings under extreme-pressure load at high temperature.
  • Including wheel-bearing and propshaft lubrication of commercial/utility vehicles and passenger cars, meeting OEM specifications such as MAN, MB and Volvo for this type of lithium-complex approved grease.
  • Other areas of use include industrial and marine applications, chassis components and farm equipment; its sticky formulation stays in place for longer periods.
  • Operating temperature range from -25°C to +140°C, with a short-time admissible peak of +220°C and permanent temperatures over 150°C.
