[QUOTE="riptragle1953, post: 38225, member: 2328"] Resistance to Water ◦ Synthetic grease is more likely to withstand the effects of heavy rain and other high water events. Synthetic grease does not wash out or emulsify the way petroleum grease can. Ability to Withstand Heat ◦ Most synthetic greases can withstand temperatures of at least 300 degrees Fahrenheit before "melting" and running out, compared to about 240 F for petroleum grease. This makes synthetic grease especially valuable for lubricating brakes, non-drive wheel bearings, differentials and transmissions. ◦ Ability to Withstand Pressure ◦ Conventional petroleum grease can withstand approximately 700 pounds per square inch (psi) of pressure before the grease film is ruptured, and there is metal on metal contact. Synthetic oil can withstand 3,000 psi before failing. Resistance to Rust and Corrosion ◦ The rust- and corrosion-resistant properties of synthetic oil provide better protection and longer life to bearings and chassis lube points. Mobil 1 Synthetic Grease High performance automotive grease Product Description Mobil 1 Synthetic Grease is an NLGI No 2 high-performance automotive grease which combines a synthetic base fluid with a lithium complex soap thickener. The thickener system provides a high dropping point, while additives impart optimum extreme-pressure properties and excellent resistance to water wash, and outstanding protection against rust and corrosion. Mobil 1 Synthetic Grease has excellent structural stability. The synthetic base oil used in Mobil 1 Synthetic Grease gives it excellent performance properties at both high and low temperatures. High structural shear stability coupled with a high performance base oil make Mobil 1 Synthetic an outstanding automotive grease. Features and Benefits Mobil 1 Synthetic Grease provides the following advantages and benefits: Features Advantages and Potential Benefits All-purpose automotive service Certified to the NLGI GC-LB specifications for both chassis and wheel bearing lubrication Wide Operating range -40 C (- 40 F) to 150 C (302 F) Excellent resistance to rust and corrosion Longer life of bearings and chassis lube points Outstanding structural stability Ability to provide effective lubrication over extended periods of time Excellent wear protection under heavy loads Provides bearing protection while cornering and other conditions where bearings temporarily experience heavy loads. Excellent resistance to water wash Withstands the effects of water washout from heavy rain storms or other high water wash events. Applications Mobil 1 Synthetic Grease meets the requirements of the National Lubricating Grease institute (NLGI) performance classification GC-LB. It is recommended for automotive applications at both high and low temperatures. It is particularly suited for applications such as disc brake wheel bearings and ball and steering joints. It will provide outstanding bearing protection under heavy loads at any highway speed, and where moisture or condensation is a factor. Specification and Approvals Mobil 1 Synthetic Grease has the following qualifications NLGI GC-LB 2 Typical Properties Mobil 1 Synthetic Grease Product Number 53201-0 NLGI Grade 2 Soap Type Lithium Complex Structure Smooth; Slight Tack Color Red Penetration, ASTM D 217 Worked x 60 strokes 280 Worked x 10,000 strokes 295 Worked x 100,000 strokes 305 Dropping Point, ºC (ºF) 288 (550) Viscosity of Oil, ASTM D 445 cSt at 40ºC 220 cSt at 100ºC 23.8 ISO Viscosity Grade 220 Timken OK Load, ASTM D 2509, lb 45 Four-Ball Wear Test, ASTM D 2266, scar Diam, mm 0.40 Four-Ball EP, ASTM D 2596, Weld Load, kg 250 Four-Ball EP, Load Wear Index 45 Corrosion Prevention, ASTM D 1743 Pass Emcor/SKF Water Wash Test, IP 220 (modified) 0.0 Water Washout, ASTM D 1264, 79ºC (175ºF), wt % 6 Health and Safety Based on available information, this product is not expected to produce adverse effects on health when used for the intended application and the recommendations provided in the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) are followed.
