Note: Non-Cat commercial greases are as a group second choice greases. Within this grouping of second choice greases there are tiered levels of performance.
Cat does not warrant the quality or performance of non-Cat fluids and greases.
Caterpillar provides a family of grease products that vary in performance from moderate to high performance. These greases services the entire line of Cat products in the wide variety of climates throughout the world. From this variety of Cat grease products, you can find a Cat grease that will meet or exceed the performance requirements for almost every machine that is produced by any Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), and for almost every machine application or equipment application.Before selecting a grease product, the performance requirements must be determined. Consult the grease recommendations in your Operation and Maintenance Manual. Also, consult your Cat dealer for a list of greases that have the performance specifications and the available container sizes.This grease chapter refers to NLGI of the grease products offered by Caterpillar. The National Lubricating Grease Institute (NLGI) classifies the greases per the consistency or hardness according to "ASTM D4950" and "SAE J310". The higher the NLGI value the more firm the grease. NLGI is an important classification for greases and it should be used along with other properties such as stability, corrosion resistance, and viscosity.Note: Always choose grease that meets or exceeds the recommendations that are specified by the equipment manufacturer for the application.Some work sites require the use of a single grease to fulfill the needs of all the equipment. Always choose a grease that meets or exceeds the requirements of the most demanding application. Remember that commercial products which barely meet the minimum performance requirements can be expected to produce the minimum life for the parts. It is not recommended to purchase grease products based on the lowest cost as the only consideration. Instead, use the grease that yields the lowest total operating cost. This cost should be based on an analysis that includes the improved product life, costs of parts, labor, downtime, and the cost of the amount of grease that is required.Note: Certain Cat grease products are formulated with Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2 or “Moly”). The Moly used in Cat greases is of a technical fine grade. This size meets the special requirements of some rolling element bearings, joints, and other moving components of tight clearances.Note: When the grease in a joint is changed from one type of grease to another or a grease from a different supplier is to be used, the general recommendation is to purge all the old grease from the joint. Some greases are not chemically compatible. Consult your supplier to determine if the greases are compatible.If in doubt, Purge!Note: All Cat greases are “chemically” compatible with each other. Mixing of Cat greases will not result in an adverse chemical reaction. However, mixing of Cat greases might result in reduced performance.Moderate Applications
The Caterpillar family of greases includes several which are formulated for moderate applications of medium loads and speeds. These greases are formulated to provide optimal performance for these applications.Cat Utility Grease
Cat Utility Grease is formulated for use in applications that have a low severity to a medium severity and moderate temperatures. Cat Utility Grease is a National Lubricating Grease Institute (NLGI) grade 2 grease. This grease is made with petroleum base oil and a lithium complex thickener.Note: If the application calls for a utility grease and Cat Utility Grease is not available, consult the grease data sheets. Use a substitute that meets or exceeds the performance characteristics of Cat Utility Grease.Cat White Assembly Grease
Cat White Assembly Grease is formulated for use in applications that have low to medium severity and moderate temperatures. This grease has been made extra tacky to hold gaskets, O-rings, and needle bearings to aid in the assembly of engines, transmissions, and other components. Cat White Assembly Grease is an NLGI grade 2 grease. This grease is made with a petroleum base oil and a lithium complex thickener.Cat Prime Application Grease
Cat Prime Application Grease is formulated for use in applications with low severity to high severity at moderate temperatures. Cat Prime Application Grease is recommended for heavily loaded pin joints and high impact applications in machines such as track-type tractors, backhoe loaders and skid steer loaders.Cat Prime Application Grease is an NLGI grade 2 grease. This grease is made with petroleum base oil and a lithium complex thickener. This grease has 3% Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS2 or “Moly”).Note: If the application calls for a multipurpose grease with molybdenum and Cat Prime Application Grease is not available, consult the data sheets for the greases. Use a substitute that meets or exceeds the performance characteristics of Cat Prime Application Grease.Severe Applications
The Caterpillar family of greases includes several which are made with a Calcium Sulfonate Complex thickener. This type of grease is ideal for severe applications. These greases provide more load carrying (galling resistance), lower wear, longer working life, exceptional water washout, and resistance to corrosion.Hammer Grease
Note: Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual for a particular hammer for recommendations that relate to greases for Cat Hammers.Cat Extreme Application Grease
Cat Extreme Application Greases are specially formulated to protect all the most heavily loaded joints in any Cat machine against galling, wear, and corrosion. This protection is sustained while operating in moderate temperatures and with wet or dry working conditions.Cat Extreme Application Greases are available in NLGI grades, 1, and 2. Cat Extreme Application Greases are made with special blends of petroleum base oils and Calcium Sulfonate Complex thickener. These greases also have 5% Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS2 or “Moly”) and performance enhancing additives.A significant challenge exists in order to get grease to pump into the joints at low temperatures. Once the grease gets to the joint, the grease must have high resistance to galling, wear, fretting, water washout, and corrosion in order to protect highly loaded joints adequately. Cat Extreme Application Greases are formulated with special blends of naphthenic petroleum base oils that have low pour points and will
