A. Castrol Spheerol EPL 2 is designed for general industrial and automotive bearing lubrication, chassis lubrication and other applications requiring a multi-purpose NLGI 2 extreme-pressure grease.
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 NLGI 2 — the standard bearing-grade grease consistency.
A. Castrol Spheerol EPL 2 uses a lithium soap thickener with a highly refined mineral oil base.
A. Both are Castrol Spheerol EPL lithium-soap mineral-oil extreme-pressure greases. EPL 2 (this product) is NLGI 2 — the standard bearing-grade grease consistency. EPL 00 is NLGI 00 — a semi-fluid grease for sealed gearboxes and central lubrication systems.
A. 'EPL' indicates the Extreme-Pressure Lithium designation — combining the EP additive system with a lithium soap thickener for general-purpose multi-purpose grease service.
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.
