Grease Is The Time, Is The Place, Is The Motion
By definition, any machinery is a system of complex moving parts. Those parts are often engineered to touch, push, spin, rotate and grind against each other. That's where lubricants, oils and grease come in, especially in a motorized vehicle. Automotive grease is often a homogeneous blend of a synthetic oil with a thickener. NAPA Auto Parts sells grease from top auto chemical brands like Blaster, CRC, Loctite, Lucas Oil, Permatex and more.
Often using silicone compounds, synthetic grease is an excellent heavy-duty, industrial, extreme-pressure grease for car parts. Lithium-based grease is also very common. In some car chemical products, additives are inserted in grease like anti-wear agents, antioxidants, tackifiers and friction modifiers. NAPAonline also sells specific lubrications like spray-on battery terminal protector or brake caliper lubricant, as well as multi-use anti-seize lubricant that reduces friction and stop squeaks wherever they occur.
When it comes to older vehicles, aftermarket parts, farm equipment and other gear, you'll find grease fittings everywhere, which are typically coated in multi-purpose grease. New models rely on a set of specified automotive greases, which are complex compounds that must be applied to exact components and systems. For instance, joint grease is fortified with extreme pressure lubricant additives for maximum surface protection. Designed for temperature stability, grease for automotive joints inhibits rust, corrosion and oxidation. Similarly, for high-temperature components, such as wheel bearings, a high-quality silicone-based grease is required. This high-temp grease is engineered for maximum protection under the most extreme pressure for disc brake wheel bearings, suspension systems, universal joints, steering linkages and the chassis.

Any performance engine today relies on special assembly grease to ensure a smooth operation with less friction and less wear on moving parts. Compatible with various motor materials, assembly lubricant offers superior protection against heat and corrosion, extending the lifespan of your engine. Another extremely important auto grease compound is dielectric grease used in standard vehicles, as well as boats and other watercraft. This versatile and high-performance product excels in protecting electrical connections from moisture and corrosion, ensuring optimal conductivity and longevity.
Easy to apply to bulb sockets, spark plugs and more, long-lasting dielectric grease protects critical electric connections from salt, dirt and water spray. Made from silica and silicone, this cloudy white paste is designed to protect against galvanic corrosion that affects high-voltage sensitive components. Not to be outdone, gear oil is a pure synthetic, non-foaming, super slick, long-lasting lubricant used on motorcycles and marine applications. After applying gear oil properly, expect a cool quiet performance with minimum wear and minimum drag. Gear oil stands up to high-horsepower and high-temperature systems ranging up to 400°F.
And of course, any shopping list of car grease must include grease for automotive tools. Stock up on tool oil or machine oil that penetrates grime to loosen rust, dirt and scaly buildup. According to the NAPA experts, mechanics and machinists can restore and prolong air tool life by cleaning and lubricating shop tools. Made from mild petroleum, air tool lubricant coats and protects internal tool parts to ensure maximum tool performance, prevent unnecessary maintenance and protect tool parts from high speeds and shock loads. Automotive tool grease combats rust and varnish by coating working parts with a cushion of waterproof lubricant that resists blowout. And don't forget cutting oil ¿ critical for cutting, grinding, machining, drilling, sawing and shearing on all types of metals, including brass, copper and aluminum.
Great Deals On Hydraulic Fluid For Heavy-Duty Trucks
We can't talk about automotive chemicals without mentioning the wide range of industrial fluids found at NAPA Auto Parts stores. If you operate a fleet of tow trucks, dump trucks or semi-trucks, you must invest in premium hydraulic oil to keep your business running smooth. Industrial equipment, like excavators and bulldozers, use high-pressure, high-heat applications that require the best heavy-duty hydraulic oil. Older systems got by on big reservoirs and heavy oil. But modern hydraulic equipment relies on low-viscosity hydraulic oil, which flows better and removes contaminants more effectively, while also generating less heat.
Premium tractor hydraulic fluid boasts exceptional stability, and offers superb protection for valuable equipment in the most extreme working conditions. Anti-wear hydraulic oil utilizes advanced technology to deliver optimal performance and protection in demanding hydraulic systems. NAPA Hydraulic Oil provides excellent low-temperature fluidity and effective anti-foam properties that contribute to reliable operation and reduce system wear, particularly in intricate vane and gear hydraulic pumps operating at demanding pressures. No matter which hydraulic fluid tractor solution you choose, it must deliver outstanding rust protection, low deposit formation, rapid release of entrained air, oxidation resistance and good anti-foam properties.
Extreme friction, high heat and intense vibrations all take a toll on the smallest components of heavy machinery. That is why it is critical to perform robust maintenance on a commercial fleet. Any malfunction can become a disastrous safety risk. For a safe operation, you should monitor fluid levels weekly if possible, and even check for contamination. And don't forget to stock up on heat-resistant hub oil. Premium hub oil is formulated to stop leaks in steering axles and trailer hubs on heavy-duty trucks. Long-lasting hub oil also allows hubs to run on a marginal amount of oil in case of a blown seal or poor maintenance, which prevents downtime.
