Description
Spheerol™ CV Performance – Automotive Wheel Bearing Grease
Product Description Castrol Spheerol™ CV Performance is a high-quality lubricating grease developed primarily for the tough trucking environment. This gel-type grease is formulated with a combination of base oil, special lithium complex thickener technology, and performance additives.
Application Spheerol CV Performance exhibits excellent mechanical and thermal stability, making it particularly suitable for use in the wheel bearings of passenger cars, buses, farm equipment, off-highway, and on-highway commercial vehicles, including New Generation Multi-Axle trucks for long haul service.
Advantages
- Excellent mechanical stability: Ensures that an effective lubricant film is maintained between contact surfaces for extended periods.
- Outstanding thermal stability: Provides prolonged resistance to the effects of heavy braking.
- Excellent water resistance: Improves product retention over extended working periods, leading to increased equipment/bearing life.
- Superior corrosion protection and good extreme pressure properties: Enhances component life and reduces maintenance.
