Over-the-road trucks and commerial equipment operate in all types of weather. Water, snow and ice are encountered regularly, and they combine with salt and other road-deicing chemicals to promote accelerated rust and corrosion on chassis and fifth-wheel components.

 AMSOIL Synthetic Grease for Trucks, Chassis and Equipment clings tenaciously to metal surfaces, helping to keep rain, snow and other corrosive contaminants from penetrating greasable components. It is formulated with an advanced additive package designed to combat the harmful effects of roadway contaminants, helping components last longer and saving money.

Greasable components on heavy-duty trucks and equipment regularly operate in severe-service, extreme-pressure environments. Frequent high-load operation increases the potential for grease to pound out, which can leave greased components vulnerable to increased wear and corrosion. AMSOIL Synthetic Greases for Trucks, Chassis and Equipment, is formulated to deliver maximum pound-out resistance. Its exceptional adhesion and cohesion properties help it stay in place to seal out water and contaminants and provide a protective barrier between metal components.

Most trucking companies work to maximize the length of time tractors are on the road. Inferior greases are not engineered to perform over extended service intervals, squeezing out of place and leaving components unprotected. AMSOIL Synthetic Greases for Trucks, Chassis and Equipment is engineered to remain intact for maximum protection over extended service intervals. Owners/operators can be assured their equipment is protected when the job demands additional time on the road between maintenance checks.

Here in the Pacific Northwest it rains a lot and automobile parts are vulnerable to rust damage. There are only so many ways you can protect your car from water damage. One way is to always make sure to park it in a garage. But we all know this isn’t always an option. Even when we have a garage at home, we might not have one at work.

Synthetic grease is another way we can protect our car parts from rust. Synthetic grease composed of synthetic base oils and lithium-complex thickeners that provide excellent oxidation protection. Use synthetic grease to oil the gears on your car to prevent rust and create mechanical stability.
