According to Citgo, with engine oil drain and re-lubrication intervals being extended, heavy-duty power units require grease that can match the longer service intervals. Citgo said its OverDrive HD Grease provides that superior performance needed to protect engine parts and stay put, even under a wide variety of conditions.
OverDrive HD Grease has a full synthetic ISO 460 base oil, combining full PAO synthetic base oil with patented polymer technology. The heavier base oil combined with the polymer produces best water washout, staying power and wide temperature protection, the company said.
Citgo stated that many greases designed for severe performance have been reported as low as two grams per minute at 0˚F, indicating significant compromise in pumpability in achieving staying power. OverDrive HD Grease pumps 36.5 grams per minute at 0˚F, while retaining superior grease retention and water washout protection in colder weather conditions, according to the maker.
Other performance attributes include:
• Passes the Emcor Dynamic Corrosion Test and the 5% Salt Water Corrosion Test, in addition to passing the standard ASTM D-1743 Corrosion Test.
• Polymer fortified for improved adhesion.
• Offers stability and resists softening, even in conditions where watch contamination is present; is highly resistant to water in conditions where rain or road splash are present.
• Formulated with a proprietary Lithium Complex thickener system that is compatible with many other greases currently on the market.
OverDrive HD Grease can be used in wheel bearings requiring high temperature grease, asphalt plant drum trunnion bearings, asphalt paver auger bearings and other high temperature applications, Citgo said.
