● Grease

High-performance grease
for smoother moving
parts.

Lithium, lithium complex and multi-purpose grease for bearings, chassis points and industrial joints β€” built to hold up under real load.

What grease is, and how it's different from oil

Grease is essentially oil combined with a thickening agent (most commonly a lithium soap), which turns it into a semi-solid that stays put where liquid oil would simply drip or fly off. That makes it the right choice for parts that are hard to lubricate continuously β€” bearings, chassis points, hinges, and industrial joints that need protection between service intervals rather than a constant oil feed.

Because it clings to the surface, grease also does double duty as a barrier against water and contaminants, which matters for parts exposed to dust, moisture, or the outdoors.

Understanding NLGI consistency grades

Grease is graded by the NLGI (National Lubricating Grease Institute) scale, running roughly from 000 (very soft, almost fluid) to 6 (very hard, block-like). Most general automotive and industrial applications use NLGI 2 β€” soft enough to be pumped through a grease gun, firm enough to stay in place under load. Softer grades are used for low-temperature or centralized lubrication systems; harder grades for specific sealed applications.

Picking the wrong consistency can mean grease that either leaks out under heat and pressure, or one that's too stiff to reach moving surfaces properly β€” so it's worth confirming before switching between grades.

  • NLGI grades000 – 3 (2 is most common)
  • Base typesLithium / Lithium Complex / Calcium
  • ApplicationsBearings, chassis points, machinery
  • PackagingCartridges, tins, bulk pails

Common grease types

Matched to the job they're built for

Lithium Grease

The most widely used general-purpose grease β€” good water resistance and mechanical stability for everyday automotive and light industrial use.

Lithium Complex Grease

Handles higher temperatures and heavier loads than standard lithium grease, suited to demanding industrial and heavy-vehicle applications.

Multi-Purpose Grease

Formulated to cover a broad range of everyday lubrication points where a single, reliable all-rounder is more practical than several specialised products.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about choosing and using grease

What does the NLGI grade actually tell me?

It tells you how firm or soft the grease is β€” not how "strong" or high-quality it is. NLGI 2 is the common default for most bearings and chassis points; equipment manufacturers will specify a different grade where it matters.

How do I choose between grease for bearings vs. chassis points?

Bearings, especially wheel bearings, often need a grease rated for higher temperatures and speeds, while general chassis points prioritise water resistance and adhesion. If your equipment manual specifies a type, that takes priority β€” otherwise ask us and we'll match it.

Can different types of grease be mixed?

Not always safely β€” mixing incompatible thickener types (for example lithium with calcium) can break down the grease's structure and reduce its performance. Where possible, clean out old grease before switching types, or check compatibility first.

How often should grease points be relubricated?

This depends on the equipment, operating environment and how heavily it's used β€” dusty or wet conditions usually call for more frequent relubrication. Equipment manuals are the most reliable source for exact intervals.
