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.

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 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.
