Lubricants, Greases & Compounds
What is the difference between engine grease and engine oil?
The biggest difference between engine grease and engine oil is the consistency; grease is thicker. Engine grease is simply an oil base with a thickener added.
What does gear oil do?
Gear oil is formulated with anti-wear additives to protect the gears and bearings in the drive axles, differentials, transmission, gearbox, and take-off units. Gear oil has high viscosity for easy distribution through the engine.
Is it better to use oil-soluble engine grease?
Oil-soluble grease is better in many applications. Oil-soluble grease will dissolve quickly in oil; some non-soluble greases contain a white residue that can break down and plug your oil filter.
