Use this general-purpose grease to lubricate most machinery.

NLGI viscosity grade is a rating of a grease's consistency. NLGI 2 is about the consistency of peanut butter. NLGI 3 is about the consistency of vegetable shortening.

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 that cannot be sold to regions outside the United States are restricted by product labeling requirements; grease that cannot be sold to California exceeds local regulatory limits on VOC (volatile organic compounds).

Grease lubricates most efficiently within the listed temperature range. Melting temperature is the point at which grease will fail and run out of equipment, leaving it to run dry.
