A. Q8 Oils Rubens EP 2 BLUE is a multi-purpose grease for general industrial bearing, chassis and machinery lubrication where a lithium-complex extreme-pressure grease is specified.
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 EP 2 BLUE is NLGI 2 — the standard bearing-grade grease consistency.
A. The blue colour provides easy visual recognition in service and on equipment — useful for distinguishing the grease at lubrication points.
A. Q8 Oils Rubens EP 2 BLUE uses a lithium-complex soap thickener — giving improved high-temperature performance compared to standard lithium-soap greases.
A. Both are Q8 NLGI 2 EP greases. Rembrandt EP 2 uses a standard lithium-soap thickener with a 130°C temperature limit. Rubens EP 2 BLUE (this product) uses the higher-tier lithium-complex thickener with improved high-temperature performance, distinguished by its blue colour.
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.
