Castrol Spheerol EPL 2 is an extreme-pressure (EP) bearing grease for general plant-wide lubrication. The NLGI 2 grade is the standard consistency for industrial and on-vehicle bearing lubrication and is particularly suitable for vertically mounted bearings and components exposed to vibration.
The grease is formulated from lithium soap thickener and highly refined mineral base oil, fortified with extreme-pressure additives and corrosion and oxidation inhibitors. The additive package supports film strength under medium to high loads, water wash-out resistance for service in moist or wet conditions, and rust and corrosion protection on lubricated metal surfaces.
The grease is classified per the NLGI consistency scale and meets the requirements of DIN 51825 KP2K-30 for general-purpose lithium-soap bearing greases.
Other grades in the Spheerol EPL range are available in our catalogue, including Spheerol EPL 0 and EPL 00 (softer grades for centralised lubrication systems and grease-filled gearboxes), EPL 1 (softer than the standard), and EPL 3 (stiffer than the standard). Castrol Spheerol EPL 2 is also available in a 50 kg keg (PRD00001299) for workshop bulk supply.
Castrol Spheerol EPL 2 has a dropping point of 190°C (374°F) and is suitable for general-purpose bearing applications including those subject to vibration.
Castrol Spheerol™ EPL is a range of greases which comprises lithium based products, containing highly refined mineral oils, fortified with extreme pressure (EP) additives as well as corrosion and oxidation inhibitors.These greases have been formulated with additives that provide good film strength under medium to high loads. Application The Spheerol EPL range comprises general purpose greases designed for plant wide lubrication. The range extends from a NLGI 3 for general purpose bearing lubrication to a NLGI 00 (see separate data sheet) semi-fluid grease suitable for centralised lubrication systems and grease filled gearboxes. These greases provide good protection against rust and corrosion as well as resistance to water wash-out; which makes them particularly suitable for equipment where moist or wet conditions are common. The stiffer consistency afforded by an NLGI 3 grade makes this product particularly suitable for the lubrication of bearings that are vertically mounted, or components exposed to a high degree of vibration. The good levels of resistance to both corrosion and water wash-out, which makes this product suitable for equipment where moist or wet conditions are common.

A. NLGI is the universal grease consistency standard every reputable grease meets, ranging from NLGI 000 (semi-fluid) to NLGI 3 (firm). It is your baseline check — match the grade your handbook specifies (e.g., NLGI 2 for most multi-purpose applications) and the grease is technically suitable for your machine. Every grease on our site lists its NLGI grade.
A. Castrol Spheerol EPL 2 is an NLGI 2 grade grease, the standard consistency for general bearing lubrication.
A. Castrol Spheerol EPL 2 is formulated from lithium soap thickener with highly refined mineral base oil.
A. Yes, Castrol Spheerol EPL 2 contains extreme-pressure additives providing good film strength under medium to high loads.
A. Castrol Spheerol EPL 2 is designed for general plant-wide bearing lubrication, including vertically mounted bearings and components exposed to vibration.
A. Castrol Spheerol EPL 2 has a dropping point of 190°C (374°F) per the IP 396 test method.
A. Yes, Castrol Spheerol EPL 2 has good water wash-out resistance, making it suitable for equipment where moist or wet conditions are common.
A. The number is the NLGI grade — higher number means stiffer consistency. EPL 0 and EPL 00 are softer semi-fluid grades for centralised lubrication systems and grease-filled gearboxes; EPL 1 is softer than the standard; EPL 2 is the general-purpose standard for bearing lubrication; EPL 3 is stiffer, suited to vertically mounted bearings or high-vibration applications.
A. An OEM Specification is the grease requirement set by a vehicle or equipment manufacturer (e.g., MB 267.0, MAN 283 Li-P 2). When a grease lists the code, the grease manufacturer has developed and tested it to meet the criteria the equipment manufacturer requires. Match the code in your handbook and you have a grease engineered for your machine.
A. An OEM Approval means the grease has been formally tested and signed off by the equipment manufacturer and listed on their official approved-products register (e.g., MB-Approval 267.0). An Approval confirms the grease is recognised by the equipment manufacturer for service use in their machines.
