Grease Solutions



There are lots of claims when it comes to grease.  But after all the hype is over, "liars never figure, and figures never lie". 

Simply put, the grease that has the highest ASTM numbers in sanctioned testing is always the best, no matter what the oil company's say,

THE FIGURES NEVER LIE......

When you purchase the best grease money can buy, you will receive....
  • 200-400% increase in tool/bearing life!
  • Extended service Intervals by up to 75% ... or more!
  • Reducing energy use by up to 5% ... or more!
  • Reduced gearbox noise!
  • Superior rust and corrosion protection!

Resulting in major savings for you.

So lets look at the numbers.....

Petron Plus tied AMSOIL for 1st place in the wear scar diameter at 0.40 mm.
  • Petron Plus took the top spot for drop point.
  • Petron Plus was #1 in load wear index (LWI) at 75
  • Royal Purple had the highest Timken OK load at 100

Conclusion:The Petron Plus outperformed all the grease's here, with Ambertech in second place.(which is incredible in that it is Vegetable oil based)

We offer over 35 different greases to chose from, Calcium Sulfate is always our favorite, it will be the higher priced of all the greases, but there is a reason  for the higher price ... performance! Read the file below titled; 'Why Calcium Sulfonate Grease?'.

                                    We recommend Petron Plus when only the best will do!

Below are the spec sheets for all the greases listed here.
