Castrol Spheerol AP 3
Castrol Spheerol™ AP 3 is a lithium-based bearing grease incorporating solvent-refined base oils. It contains oxidation and corrosion inhibitors, which help to ensure long service life and a high level of protection for metal surfaces, and is water-resistant. Spheerol AP 3 is intended for use in plain and anti-friction, ball and roller bearings and other machinery applications, under normal load conditions and within an operating temperature range of -20°C to +120°C. Due to its low viscosity, it is particularly suitable for high speed bearings, and is also suitable for severe vibration conditions.
