AMSOIL NLGI #2 Synthetic Polymeric Off-Road Grease

AMSOIL NLGI #2 Synthetic Polymeric Off-Road Grease – Built For Brutal Conditions

AMSOIL NLGI #2 Synthetic Polymeric Off-Road Grease is designed for heavy equipment that lives in harsh, dirty, high-load environments. It’s made for the pivots, pins and bushings that take a beating every single day on job sites, farms and in the woods.

This grease delivers:

• Outstanding extreme-pressure protection
• Excellent adhesion and cohesion so it stays put
• Strong water resistance in wet or washdown conditions

If you run loaders, dozers, excavators, skid steers, ag equipment or similar machines, this grease is built for you.

Clings Tight: Adhesion, Cohesion And Impact Resistance

Stays Where You Put It

The “polymeric” part of this grease isn’t marketing fluff. AMSOIL uses a synthetic polymer system that gives it exceptional adhesion (sticks to parts) and cohesion (sticks to itself).

That means:

• It forms a tough lubricating film on pins, bushings and bearings
• It resists being slung off or flung away at high speed
• It helps seal out dirt and contaminants around greased joints

Resists Hammering And Shock Loads

Off-road equipment sees constant pounding: buckets slam, booms jerk, and pivots take side loads. This grease is engineered to resist impact better than typical greases, so it doesn’t pound out of joints as quickly.

That impact resistance helps:

• Keep metal surfaces separated under shock load
• Reduce the amount of grease that gets ejected with every hit
• Support a more consistent film between service intervals

Water Washout Resistance And Contaminant Control

Fights Rain, Mud And Washdowns

In agriculture, construction, mining and forestry, water is always an issue—rain, puddles, pressure washers, and slurry. This grease is formulated to resist water washout, which means it maintains a protective seal even when exposed to water.

Benefits include:

• Grease doesn’t disappear after the first wet day
• Joints stay lubricated longer between re-greasing
• Reduced risk of rust and corrosion in critical areas

Helps Seal Out Dirt And Grit

Because it stays put and forms a tenacious film, the grease also helps keep abrasive dirt and grit from working into pins and bushings.

That’s important because:

• Abrasive particles accelerate wear
• Contaminated joints can seize or develop excessive play
• Clean, sealed joints last longer and stay tighter

Moly-Fortified For Maximum Wear Protection

5% Moly For Heavy Pivot Points

AMSOIL NLGI #2 Synthetic Polymeric Off-Road Grease is heavily fortified with molybdenum disulfide (“moly”), often around 5% for pin and bushing applications.

Moly:

• Plates onto metal surfaces
• Provides a solid lubricating layer
• Offers a last line of defense if the grease film is temporarily squeezed out

This makes the grease an excellent match for:

• Bucket pins and bushings
• King pins and articulation joints
• Boom, stick and loader arm pivots

Many OEMs, including Caterpillar, recommend moly grease for these points, and this product is positioned as a perfect choice for equipment calling for ~5% moly.

Extended Service Life And Lower Operating Costs

Longer Greasing Intervals

Because it stays in place and resists impact, heat and washout, this grease is built for extended service intervals.

That can help:

• Reduce how often techs need to grease each machine
• Lower overall grease consumption
• Cut downtime in the yard or on the job site

Less Grease Ejected Under Pounding

With poor greases, you often see a “halo” of flung or pounded-out grease around pins and joints. This formula is designed to reduce the amount of grease ejected during repetitive pounding, so more stays where it’s needed.

Over time, that translates to:

• Less waste
• Fewer cartridges used
• Better protection for the same or less money spent

Helps Control Labor And Component Costs

By combining:

• Strong EP (extreme-pressure) protection
• Excellent retention
• Moly fortification
• Water resistance

…this grease helps reduce wear and extend component life. Fewer pin and bushing replacements and less unscheduled downtime turn into real savings over the life of your equipment.

Where AMSOIL Off-Road Grease NLGI #2 Is Commonly Used

Heavy Construction And Earthmoving

Ideal for heavily loaded, off-road equipment such as:

• Bulldozers and crawlers
• Excavators and backhoes
• Wheel and track loaders
• Skid steers
• Scrapers and graders
• Dump trucks and articulated haulers

Typical points:

• Bucket pivots
• Boom/stick pins
• Center articulations
• Suspension joints and fifth-wheel plates

Agriculture And Farm Equipment

On the farm, this grease is well-suited for:

• Tractors and loaders
• Balers, combines and harvesters
• Pivot points on tillage and planting equipment

These machines often see dust, dirt and crop residue along with long days in the field. The polymeric system and water resistance make the grease a good fit for those conditions.

Mining, Logging And Industrial Off-Road

In harsh industries like mining and forestry, equipment runs in mud, water, shock loads and constant vibration. AMSOIL’s polymeric off-road grease is promoted for exactly these adverse conditions, including underground or open-pit applications and harsh logging sites.
