| PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AMSOIL
Synthetic GVC is a lithium complex thickened grease blended with premium ISO-320
synthetic base oils. This grease is fully compounded with additives providing
EP protection, oxidation resistance and rust and corrosion protection. AMSOIL
GVC is shear stable, maintaining its viscosity and consistency in the presence
of mechanical activity, and GVC stays in place by resisting water washout. During
high-temperature operation, GVC's thickener system remains intact and the high
viscosity base oils resist thermal breakdown and provide a thick film of lubricant
for good boundary lubrication. AMSOIL GVC adheres to critical components in sever
conditions and provides problem-free operation, resulting in increased uptime
and reduced repair and maintenance costs. APPLICATION AMSOIL
GVC is excellent for use in heavy duty industrial and off road applications where
equipment is working under adverse conditions such as exposure to environmental
elements, slow, heavily-loaded applications and shock-loading conditions. Use
GVC in wet applications requiring excellent water resistance and in high temperature
applications up to 350°F continuous service and 400°F intermittent service. The
lithium complex thickener system and high viscosity base oil provide top performance
in hostile environments and heavy duty industrial or of road applications where
typical multipurpose greases may not perform up to standards. AMSOIL
GVC Lithium Complex Grease is compatible with many other types of greases. However,
it is recommended that when changing greases the equipment be cleaned of the old
grease when possible or flushed with a liberal amount of the new grease while
the mechanism is in operation. Closely monitor the system for any inconsistencies.
Any grease compatibility questions should be referred to your AMSOIL representative
or AMSOIL Industrial for assistance. APPLICATION
MAINTENANCE Maintaining a clean work
environment is important when equipment greasing is performed. Wipe grease fittings
clean prior to injecting grease to prevent contaminant ingestion. Maintain bearing
housings one-third to one-half full of grease. Prevent over-greasing as excessive
heat build up can result. Supplement standard grease maintenance by periodically
cleaning and packing housings with fresh grease on an established maintenance
schedule.
