<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 />
