About the range

Greases are semi-solid lubricants used where oil cannot be easily retained, such as open bearings, chassis points and slow-moving or intermittently operating components. Gem Oils supplies a range of greases, including lithium and lithium complex formulations, suited to industrial, automotive and agricultural applications.

Grease performance is defined by its thickener type, base oil viscosity and NLGI consistency grade, alongside any extreme-pressure or high-temperature additives. The correct grease for an application depends on operating temperature, load, speed and exposure to water or contaminants.

Common Questions

Greases Products FAQs

Answers to the questions we are most commonly asked by garages, fleet operators, and motor factors. For vehicle-specific advice, contact our technical team directly.

Grease is used where oil cannot be easily retained — open bearings, chassis lubrication points, slow-moving components and intermittently operated mechanisms. It acts as a reservoir of lubricant, releasing oil gradually under mechanical stress, and also provides a protective seal against water and contaminants.

The NLGI grade indicates the consistency, or stiffness, of a grease, on a scale from 000 (very soft) to 6 (very hard). NLGI 2 is the most commonly used grade for general industrial, automotive and agricultural applications. The correct grade for your application will be specified by the equipment manufacturer.

Lithium greases are general-purpose products suitable for most standard applications. Lithium complex greases have a higher dropping point, meaning they remain stable at higher temperatures, and typically offer better extreme-pressure and water resistance. Lithium complex greases are used where operating conditions are more demanding.

Re-greasing intervals depend on the equipment manufacturer’s recommendation, bearing speed and size, operating temperature and exposure to water or contaminants. Always follow the service schedule in the equipment manual. Over-greasing can be as damaging as under-greasing in some bearing types.
