Hydraulic Attachment Grease
Here are the key points to consider when choosing grease.
General Recommendations
Use a lithium-based grease, as it's generally compatible with most applications and is waterproof. NLGI #2 grease is suitable for most applications, especially in warmer temperatures. For colder temperatures (below 60°F), consider using NLGI #1 grease or a synthetic grease.
Specific Types
Moly grease (containing molybdenum disulfide) is recommended for machines with moving joints, like loaders or backhoes. Polyurea or multipurpose grease is good for high-temperature applications. Synthetic grease, while more expensive, lasts longer than petroleum-based options.
Application-Specific Considerations
For wet conditions or marine environments, use a marine grease with lithium complex thickeners. For high-pressure applications, consider grease with molybdenum disulfide additives.
Brand Examples
While specific brands weren't the focus of the query, some mentioned in the search results include:
- Lucas Oil Marine Grease
- Mobil 1 Synthetic Grease
- Shell Rotella Heavy-Duty Grease
Remember to consult your equipment's manual for specific recommendations, as different machines and attachments may have unique requirements. Additionally, regular application of grease is often more important than using a premium product infrequently.
