Use this general-purpose grease to lubricate most machinery.
NLGI viscosity grade is a rating of a grease's consistency. NLGI 1 is about the consistency of tomato paste.
Mineral-oil-based grease, derived from petroleum, is usually more economical than synthetic-oil-based grease. Grease with clay thickener has excellent heat resistance and good oxidation resistance. Grease with zinc neutralizes acid and is a good replacement for leaded grease.
Grease lubricates most efficiently within the listed temperature range. Nonmelting grease can be used at temperatures above the maximum temperature briefly, but then will break down more quickly.
