GREASES
Grease
Some parts in your car require grease as a lubrication agent, such as bearings, joints and hinges. An effective grease avoids sticking and squeaking thus preventing components wearing out prematurely, whilst shielding against moisture and corrosion.
Castrol’s variety of greases range from multipurpose to the special greases which work under demanding conditions and still provide outstanding performance.
Castrol Spheerol EPL 0
A lithium based grease providing a much wider working temperature range than lime based greases.
Application
Suitable for many auto lubrication systems.
Features & benefits
Excellent mechanical stability and keeps its consistencey in service giving long service life. Provides good adhesion and water wash resistance properties.

- NLGI 0
- Lithium Soap
Spheerol LMM
A heavy duty grease combining molybdenum disulphide with extreme pressure additives.
Application
Suitable for use where shock load protection is required for automotive ball joints and constant velocity joints.
Features & benefits
- Good load carrying capacity – protects equipment against extreme loading and helps prevents damage caused by shock loading and excessive vibration.
- Resistance to scuffing and fretting – provides protection against fretting that can occur on splined shafts,pivot pins and other parts subject to reciprocating and sliding motion.
- Good water resistance – the grease film remains on the surface even in the presence of water.
- Resistant to copper and steel corrosion – helps prevent rust and oxidation on metal surfaces.
- High mechanical stability – the grease keeps its consistency in service ensuring long term protection.
- Good adhesion – continuous lubrication and reduced consumption as film stays between lubricated surfaces.

Castrol premium heavy duty
A high temperature multipurpose lithium complex grease designed for plain and roller bearing applications.
Application
Suitable for use in wheel bearings of vehicles operating at high speeds over long distances, or where prolonged heavy braking is likely to give higher than normal hub temperatures.
Features & benefits
- Excellent thermal stability and wide temperature range.
- Reduced oil separation and resistance to hardening under pressure.
- High load carry capacity.
- Good water resistance.
- Excellent EP and anti-wear properties – protects equipment against extreme loading and assists in minimizing bearing component wear.
- An optimised combination of Lithium thickener, highly refined base oil and specially selected base oil offers excellent all-round operating performance.

Protector Series
Castrol red rubber grease
A rubber compatible grease formulated to be compatible with natural rubber components in a range of cars, light commercial vehicles and any other vehicle using rubber components, particularly brakes and clutch hydraulic mechanisms.
Application
Specifically formulated for rubber to rubber lubrication where any effects such as hardening or swelling of the rubber must be avoided. It therefore can be used on automotive hydraulic brake and clutch components where compatibility with natural rubber and SBR seals are involved. It may also be used to assist the assembly of natural and synthetic rubber components for automotive brakes or clutch systems and suspension units.
Features & benefits
An optimised combination of selected raw materials including vegetable oil and a synthetic gelling agent ensure a grease that demonstrates excellent stability at high temperatures whilst ensuring good corrosion resistant properties and excellent compatibility with both natural and synthetic rubber components.

Castrol Ultratak
Castrol Ultratak Grease is a NLGI 2, multipurpose lithium complex grease that has special properties in wet environments. It incorporates a unique synthetic polymer, which gives Castrol Ultratak the ability to build adhesion and tackiness in the presence of water. In addition, Castrol Ultratak also has excellent resistance to corrosion, even in salt water conditions, and has outstanding load carrying and antiwear properties.
Castrol Ultratak Grease is suitable for many applications in the earthmoving, mining, agricultural, and fishing industries where water washout and corrosion is of primary concern.
