“High Pressure” Grease

wgwestervelt ยท 2009-10-27 05:48

I recently bought an excavator and the grease spec says to use "high pressure" grease No. 2. All the number 2 Moly based greases I look at do not mention high pressure. Is a standard Moly based No 2 grease OK suitable or should I be looking for something different. Happy to buy a case or so if I could find exactly what they are referring to. Thanks - Bill

    look for a number and than letters EP which stands for extreme pressure. Most of tube grease is ep now so yours should work.

    Stay with any good brand of Moly grease, so far as I know, all are manufactured to EP specs.
