PETRONAS Grease LiX EP 2/170: High-Performance Extreme Pressure Lithium Complex Grease

PETRONAS Grease LiX EP 2/170 represents a sophisticated lubrication solution designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern commercial transport and industrial machinery. As an extreme pressure Lithium complex grease, it is formulated using a carefully selected mineral base oil that is enhanced by a Lithium Complex soap thickener. This specific formulation is further bolstered by a suite of advanced additives, including extreme pressure (EP) agents, anti-oxidants, anti-rust components, and corrosion inhibitors, all working in unison to provide a high level of equipment protection.

Unmatched Protection and Performance

One of the standout characteristics of PETRONAS Grease LiX EP 2/170 is its excellent load-carrying capability. The inclusion of specialized EP additives enables the grease to maintain a consistent lubricant film even when subjected to heavy loads, effectively preventing metal-to-metal contact and premature wear. This is evidenced by its impressive Four Ball EP Weld Point of 250 kg and a Four Ball Wear result of only 0.40 mm.

Furthermore, the product exhibits high thermal and oxidation stability. It is designed to operate efficiently within a temperature range of -20°C to +140°C, with the ability to withstand intermittent peaks of up to +180°C. This thermal resilience ensures the grease does not harden or form harmful deposits at elevated temperatures, maintaining its integrity and protective qualities over long service intervals.

Resilience in Harsh Environments

Equipment operating in the field is often exposed to moisture and environmental contaminants. PETRONAS Grease LiX EP 2/170 addresses these challenges with high resistance to water wash-out and exceptional rust and corrosion protection. Even when the grease becomes contaminated with water, its advanced chemistry continues to protect bearing surfaces from corrosion, as reflected in its “Pass” rating for the Emcor Salt Water test.

Its excellent adhesive and cohesive properties are also vital for performance. These “tacky” characteristics help the grease stay in place, reducing leakage and allowing for extended re-lubrication intervals. This not only ensures continuous protection but also directly contributes to reducing maintenance costs by minimizing grease consumption and labor.

Versatile Applications

The versatility of PETRONAS Grease LiX EP 2/170 makes it a “go-to” lubricant for a variety of sectors:

• Commercial Transport: It is highly recommended for general-purpose automotive applications, including chassis lubrication, wheel bearings, and prop shafts for commercial, utility, and passenger vehicles.
• Industrial Machinery: It is particularly suitable for lubricating roller and friction bearings operating under extreme pressure at high temperatures.
• Agricultural Equipment: Its robust formulation provides the necessary protection for heavy-duty farm equipment components that face high loads and dirty environments.

Technical Specifications and Certifications

This NLGI 2 grade grease is easily identifiable by its distinctive green color. It features a base oil viscosity of 183 cSt at 40°C, providing a substantial lubricating film for heavy-duty components. To ensure it meets the highest global standards, PETRONAS Grease LiX EP 2/170 complies with key industrial specifications, including:

• DIN 51502 KP2N-20
• ISO 12924 L-XB(F)DIB2
