Just because.
Mobil 1 Synthetic Grease is an NLGI No. 2 supreme performance grease that combines a polyalphaolefin (PAO) synthetic base fluid with a lithium complex soap thickener. The wax-free nature of the synthetic base fluid, together with its low coefficient of traction compared with mineral oils, provide excellent low temperature pumpability, very low starting and running torque, and can reduce operating temperatures in the load zone of rolling element bearings. Because of its low traction properties, the PAO base also offers the potential for energy savings through improved efficiency. The thickener system provides a high dropping point, while additives impart optimum extreme-pressure properties and excellent resistance to water wash, and outstanding protection against rust and corrosion. Mobil 1 Synthetic Grease has excellent structural stability and low-temperature pumpability, making it an outstanding automotive grease.
Based on its outstanding performance capabilities, Mobil 1 Synthetic Grease is recommended for a wide range of automotive applications, but especially where any of the following operational conditions occur: high loads, moisture or condensation, high temperature exposure and low temperature start-up.
