<strong>AP3</strong> <strong>Grease</strong><br />
Product Description and Application<br />
<strong>Castrol</strong> <strong>AP3</strong> is an NLGI 3 lithium soap grease containing oxidation and<br />
corrosion inhibitors. The relatively low base oil viscosity of <strong>AP3</strong> makes<br />
it an ideal grease for lubricating high speed bearings.<br />
Product Application<br />

motors and fans. The firm consistency and anti-corrosion performance<br />
of <strong>Castrol</strong> <strong>AP3</strong> also make it suitable for wheel bearings fitted to boat<br />
trailers.<br />
