A. Q8 Oils Rubens 00 is designed for sealed-for-life gearboxes, central lubrication systems and applications requiring a flowable 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. Q8 Oils Rubens 00 is NLGI 00 — a semi-fluid grease consistency.
A. A semi-fluid grease is an NLGI 000, 00 or 0 consistency grease — much softer and more flowable than the bearing-grade NLGI 2. Semi-fluid greases are used in sealed gearboxes, central lubrication systems and articulated joints where the grease needs to flow through small passages or pump through lubrication lines.
A. Q8 Oils Rubens 00 is resistant for temperatures up to 100°C.
A. Q8 Oils Rubens 00 uses a lithium-complex soap thickener — giving improved high-temperature performance compared to standard lithium-soap greases.
A. Both are Q8 Oils Rubens lithium-complex EP greases with DIN 51502 classification. Rubens EP00 (this product) is NLGI 00 — semi-fluid for sealed gearboxes and central lubrication. Rubens EP 2 BLUE is NLGI 2 — the standard bearing-grade consistency, distinguished by its blue colour for easy recognition.
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.
