Synthetic grease for automotive bearings
Valvoline VV986 is a full-synthetic lithium grease supplied in a one-pound tub. The dark-gray buttery compound carries an NLGI grade 2 rating and a viscosity of 12 cSt at 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Oxidation inhibitors are included in the base formulation.
Replaces conventional petroleum greases
The synthetic base and 500-degree dropping point extend service intervals on disc brake wheel bearings, steering linkages, chassis points, suspension systems and universal joints. The upgrade is worth it when components see high heat or heavy loads that break down standard grease.
Suits mechanics and DIYers servicing the listed
Buyers who need a different NLGI grade, a non-lithium thickener or a cartridge format for a grease gun should look at something else. The tub packaging is not designed for bulk dispensing systems.

Questions about this item
What size tub does the 1 lb synthetic grease come in?
The grease is supplied in a 1 lb tub with a dark gray, buttery consistency.
How do I apply this lithium-based NLGI 2 grease to disc brake wheel bearings?
Clean the bearing thoroughly, pack the grease evenly between the rollers and cage, then reinstall the bearing and torque to the vehicle specification.
When should I replace the grease in steering linkages and suspension systems?
Re-lubricate at the vehicle manufacturer’s service interval or whenever the grease appears contaminated, dried out, or the dropping point of 500 °F has been exceeded.
