TL;DR: Choose NLGI 00 Lithium Complex Grease for Heavy Truck Chassis to prevent line blockages in Malaysia’s tropical humidity. Prioritize Semi-Fluid EP 00 Grease for Automotive Centralized Lubrication for any IHI SK-522 and SK-801 compatible lubricant refill. Ensure reliability by using an IHI 00 grease nationwide supplier for logistics fleets.
The lithium complex thickener provides high thermal stability, maintaining consistency during peak operating temperatures. The NLGI 00 grade allows for rapid flow through narrow-diameter tubing without causing line blockages. Extreme pressure (EP) additives form a sacrificial chemical layer on metal surfaces to prevent galling under heavy shock loads. The semi-fluid structure ensures the lubricant slumps back into the pump suction area, preventing cavitation in automatic systems.
Thickener Type: Lithium Complex
NLGI Grade: 00 (Semi-fluid)
Dropping Point: >260°C
Operating Temperature Range: -20°C to 130°C
Color: Light brown

This lubricant is designed for use in commercial vehicle chassis, specifically for kingpins, spring shackles, and brake camshacks serviced by automated lubrication systems (ALS). It is used in agricultural harvesters and construction machinery where centralized systems are installed. Do not use this grease in manual high-pressure hand-greasing applications where a thicker NLGI 2 grease is specified, as it will leak out of non-sealed bearings.
The lithium complex soap structure resists oil separation better than standard lithium grease, which is critical in Malaysia’s high ambient temperatures. The semi-fluid consistency ensures that even at low pump pressures, the lubricant reaches the furthest lubrication points on a long truck chassis. High mechanical stability prevents the grease from thinning out under the constant vibration typical of logistics transport on uneven road surfaces.
Suitable for fleet managers and maintenance engineers operating heavy vehicles equipped with IHI Auto Greastar or similar automatic pumping units. It is necessary for long-haul logistics companies requiring reduced manual maintenance intervals. Not suitable for open fifth wheel plates without automated dispensers or for high-speed electric motor bearings requiring a solid grease barrier.
Verify the lubrication system reservoir is clean and free of contaminants.
Refill the reservoir using a clean transfer pump to avoid air pocket formation.
Prime the centralized system lines if the reservoir was previously run dry.
Set the lubrication controller timer according to the vehicle manufacturer’s load and mileage specifications.
Check the distribution blocks for even discharge at each lubrication point.
Mixing Greases: Mixing this lithium complex grease with clay-based or polyurea greases can cause the soap to collapse, leading to oil leakage.
Overfilling: Exceeding the maximum reservoir level can damage the pump motor seals.
Manual Application: Using this in manual grease guns for open bearings will result in excessive dripping and insufficient lubrication film.
Handle in accordance with standard industrial hygiene practices. Use oil-resistant gloves to prevent skin irritation from prolonged contact. This product should be disposed of as scheduled waste at licensed facilities in compliance with Malaysian Environmental Quality (Scheduled Wastes) Regulations.
Can I use this grease in a standard grease gun? No, the NLGI 00 consistency is too fluid for standard grease guns and will leak out of the nozzle.
Is it compatible with other IHI pump models? Yes, it is formulated for the SK-505, SK-522, and the SK-801 digital series.
How does tropical heat affect this grease? The lithium complex base ensures the grease does not melt or run off at temperatures where standard lithium greases fail.
Does it protect against rain and wash-downs? The grease contains water-resistance additives that prevent it from being easily washed off during monsoon conditions or vehicle cleaning.
