1. Calcium base grease

This is the grease commonly known as butter. At present, the most widely used grease in the automotive maintenance industry. This grease is technology from the 1930s. In developed countries, it is already an obsolete product. Because of its low price, it is also widely used in the automobile maintenance industry. It is strongly recommended not to use such products again. At least not in your own car.

2. Graphite calcium base grease

It is usually black, which is due to the addition of a certain proportion of flake graphite in the grease, which has good water resistance and rolling property. It is especially suitable for lubricating the rear steel plate of automobile. Relevant tests have proved that the life of automobile leaf springs lubricated by graphite calcium grease is more than twice that of ordinary butter lubrication. It is recommended that the car cutter should not use ordinary butter to lubricate the rear wheel plate.

3. Automotive general lithium grease

This is a grease commonly used in the modern automotive industry. It has the characteristics of long life, good water resistance and good lubrication effect. It's a substitute for regular butter. It can be used for most of the lubrication of automobiles. Its service life is twice that of calcium-based greases.

4. Extreme pressure compound lithium grease

This is a grease with higher extreme pressure wear resistance than general purpose lithium grease. It should be noted that greases, like lubricants, have grades to apply to different ambient temperatures and conditions of use. In general, the bigger the number, the stickier it is. Usually 2# can be used throughout the year in the south, and 1# can be used in the winter in the north. 3# is only suitable for tropical heavy duty vehicles. Of course, strictly speaking, the choice of grease is also affected and restricted by other factors.
