Description Description & Applications Choosing the right grease The correct choice of grease is a critical feature in cost effective lubrication. Here is a set of useful recommendations for common grease applications to guide your choice. Ball Joints It is preferable to grease more frequently rather than rely on so-called factory- filled long or extended life greases. Use a No. 2 lithium or lithium complex grease such a CASTROL EPL2, APX T, LMM or SBX 2 GREASE. All will permit extended service intervals should they be required.
Wheel Bearings The wide use of disc brakes calls for greases with greater resistance to bleed, particularly in heavier vehicles and under racing conditions. For such applications we recommend CASTROL HTB GREASE GREASE (bentone based) or CASTROL APX T GREASE (Lithium complex) which can be used at working temperatures above 1750C. For frequency of repacking wheel bearings, refer to the motor manufacturer's recommendations. Note that the style of driving, wheel balance and different road surfaces can have a significant effect on the life of the grease. Do not mix greases (see page 2). Universal Joints The design of these vary, as does the lubricant and method of application. We recommend CASTROL EPL2 or APX T GREASE (Lithium Complex) for best results.

Shackles CASTROL EPL2 GREASE is generally applicable to all types, EXCEPT those with rubber bushes and those which do not require lubrication. Where shackles are subjected to severe vibration such as rough roads, use CASTROL SBX2. Steering Boxes Follow manufacturer recommendations. If the steering box is grease lubricated use CASTROL EPL0 or SL HEAVY GREASE.
Starters, Generators and Distributors Follow manufacturer recommendations as bearings are often packed for life with a specialty grease. If repacking is required we recommend CASTROL EPL2 or APX T GREASE. Brakes and Clutch Hydraulic Mechanisms These systems generally employ rubber washers and o-rings. As even small quantities of mineral oil on rubber can cause deterioration, do not use a conventional mineral oil based grease. If metal components periodically in contact with fluid require a lubricant, use only a grease specially designed for these components, such as CASTROL GRR (B) GREASE. Boating We recommend CASTROL MARINE GREASE or CASTROL AP3 GREASE for boat trailer bearings. Owners must recognise that the entry of water into bearings causes rust and wear. We recommend cleaning and packing of bearings at least every 6 months. NO GREASE CAN COMPENSATE FOR INADEQUATE MAINTENANCE. High Impact Surfaces The pivot pins used, for example on the bucket control arms of front end loaders are subject to high shock load conditions. To prevent excessive wear we recommend CASTROL SBX2 or BMX2 GREASE. Constant Velocity Joints
Constant velocity joints are usually used on front wheel drive cars, some 4 wheel drives and rear wheel drive cars with independent rear suspension. Our prime recommendation for constant velocity joints is CASTROL SBX2, CASTROL BMX2, CASTROL LMM and AGRI BORTAX may also be used. Virtually all manufacturers recommend grease containing solid lubricants CASTROL SBX 2 offers the best combination of adhesiveness, base oil viscosity, melting point, extreme pressure and antiwear additives. Note:
When repacking bearings, completely remove all old grease and wash the bearings in solvent and air dry before applying a new grease. NEVER mix grease of different types as they can react physically, lose their structure and not lubricate effectively.

steam resistance and is the preferred product for
the wettest and most critical applications.
LITHIUM COMPLEX CASTROL APX T GREASE: The thicker in APX
T grease yields a drop point of 2600C minimum
which is higher than conventional lithium greases
of around 175-1800C. CASTROL APX T grease
also offers improved performance and low
operating temperatures down to -350C compared
to conventional lithium greases which are
normally only suitable down to 00C. The chemical composition of complex soap type
greases such as CASTROL APX T, provides
improved oxidation stability and base oil retention, compared to conventional lithium type greases. These properties are of particular benefit in high speed tapered bearing applications and in applications where parts are placed into long term storage.
