Series 2000 Synthetic Racing Grease, NLGI #2, GC/LB (GRG)
The ultimate protection for hard-driven, high performance vehicles. Dramatically reduces friction and wear for improved performance. Excels at both high- and low-temperature performance. Outperforms other conventional and synthetic greases.
Applications
AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic Lithium Complex Racing Grease meets the highest performance standards of the National Lubricating Grease Institute, GC for wheel bearing applications and LB for chassis applications.
Load Capacity
AMSOIL Series 2000 Racing Grease is an extreme-pressure multi-purpose grease formulated for high-temperature/high-speed applications. Yet, it excels in the protection of low-speed bearings, a job usually reserved for heavy-duty products. Components get the load bearing capacity of a heavy-duty grease without sacrificing the high-temperature protection of a multi-purpose.
Anti-Wear Performance
AMSOIL Series 2000 Racing Grease passes the Ford Film Strength Endurance Test with a 16 point margin (see graph). Most non-solid-fortified racing greases, synthetic or conventional, do not pass. AMSOIL Series 2000 Racing Grease keeps greased components in like-new condition.
All-Temperature Protection
AMSOIL Series 2000 Racing Grease pairs a high Viscosity Index synthetic base oil with a top-quality lithium complex thickener, known for its extraordinary performance in temperature extremes. AMSOIL Series 2000 Racing Grease offers excellent low-temperature pumpability and high-temperature consistency for dependable all-temperature protection.
Oxidation Resistance and Inhibition
AMSOIL Series 2000 Racing Grease’s excellent oxidation resistance and robust package of oxidation inhibitors prevent grease breakdown and component surface damage in the highly oxidizing conditions associated with high temperature operations.
Friction Reduction
AMSOIL Series 2000 Racing Grease maximizes power through-put and fuel efficiency by minimizing friction. The extra power given by Series 2000 improves acceleration and top-end speed.
Washout Resistance and Corrosion Inhibition
AMSOIL Series 2000 Racing Grease resists water wash out and inhibits rust and other forms of corrosion.
