PRECISION™ XL GREASES
PRECISION™ XL greases are versatile premium performance, long-life, lithium/lithium-complex greases designed to lubricate and protect automotive and industrial equipment over a wide range of operating conditions. PRECISION™ XL greases are recommended for passenger cars, vans, highway truck fleets, and all off-highway vehicles. They are also the prime recommendation for all industrial machinery, as well as pulp and paper and steel mills and mineral extraction equipment.
PRECISION™ XL EP00 Grease is a semi-fluid NLGI #00 EP lithium grease developed for centralized on-board truck chassis lubrication systems. Despite its soft nature, PRECISION™ XL EP00 retains a good dropping point, high base oil viscosity, and the EP characteristics necessary to handle shock loads and reduce wear. PRECISION™ XL EP00 has been developed for centralized grease lubrication systems such as Groeneveld, Robertshaw, Lincoln, Grease Jockey, Interlube, and Vogel. This grease handles all autogreasing points on a truck. PRECISION™ XL EP00 may also be used as a gear drive lubricant, where a medium viscosity gear oil with good low temperature mobility is required, or in leaking gearboxes.

PRECISION™ XL EP000 Grease is an extreme pressure, semi-fluid lithium grease inhibited against wear, rust and oxidation. This grease is specifically designed for use in leaky or poorly sealed gearboxes. Applications in general industry include leaky speed reducers*, chain cases, bearings, and in centralized grease systems. It is also well suited to the gearboxes of continuous miners operating in the coal and potash industries.
*Grease level must cover one-half the gear shaft bearings.

PRECISION™ XL EP1 Grease is an NLGI #1 EP lithium complex grease designed for use in heavy-duty and general purpose bearing applications supplied by centralized lubrication systems. PRECISION™ XL EP1 may be used as a winter alternative to PRECISION™ XL EP2, where greater mobility at low temperatures is desired. PRECISION™ XL EP1 is NLGI GC-LB certified for wheel bearing and chassis lubrication.
Refer to the product properties here.
PRECISION™ XL EP2 Grease is an NLGI #2 EP lithium complex grease designed for use in all types of heavy-duty and general purpose bearings operating at both low and high speeds. PRECISION™ XL EP2 can be used for grease-gun application for a wide range of equipment and conditions. Applications include automotive wheel bearings (especially wheels fitted with disc brakes), chassis points (on-highway, off-highway and farm vehicles), and industrial machinery such as paper machines, presses, mills and crushers. PRECISION™ XL EP2 is NLGI GC-LB certified for wheel bearing and chassis lubrication.

PRECISION™ XL 3 MOLY EP1 and EP2 Greases are lithium greases compounded with 3% molybdenum disulfide. They are best suited for tough, heavy-duty shock loaded equipment in industrial and off-highway applications. They are also suitable for truck fifth wheels. PRECISION™ XL Moly 3 EP1 is formulated for better pumpability at lower temperatures than PRECISION™ XL Moly 3 EP2 and may be used in centralized greasing systems. Both grades are on the Certified Lubricants Listing for the Caterpillar Global Mining (formerly Bucyrus International) MPG - Multi Purpose Grease (SD 4711) specification.

PRECISION™ XL 3 MOLY ARCTIC Grease is an NLGI #1 lithium grease formulated with a low viscosity base oil for excellent low temperature mobility. It is compounded with 3% molybdenum disulfide for heavy-duty shock loaded industrial and off-highway applications. It is also recommended for use in centralized lubrication systems especially at low temperatures for mining/forestry applications.

PRECISION™ XL 5 MOLY EP0, EP1 and EP2 lithium greases contain medium viscosity oil and are compounded with 5% molybdenum disulfide. They are designed to meet Caterpillar lubricant specifications for their 5130 (7TJ & 5ZL), 5230 (7LL) model Mining Excavators and 994 (9YF) model Wheel Loaders. The EP0 grade is on the Certified Lubricants Listing for the Caterpillar Global Mining (formerly Bucyrus International) grease specification SD 4711 (Multi- Purpose Grease). Not recommended for applications requiring a tackified grease.

PRECISION™ XL RAIL CURVE Grease is a water-resistant NLGI #1 lithium rail curve grease compounded with graphite. It offers enhanced wear protection, excellent adhesion and has a wide application temperature range. It is recommended for the following applications: track-side mechanical lubrication systems (Portec and Lincoln), on-board lubrication systems (Clicomatic), switches, switch plates (hand applied/brushed), fish plates, joint bars, and other railway applications where graphite greases are recommended.
