Semi-Fluid Grease for Steering Gearbox - 08/04/19 02:18 PM
Chevron Delo EP NLGI 00 Semi-Fluid Grease for vintage manual steering gearboxes.
$24 per 1.875 pound container (approximately 1 quart), plus shipping, or
$13 per standard 14 oz. cartridge, plus shipping.
This is a superior, synthetic semi-fluid (self-leveling) grease for all vintage steering gear applications. Its specs exceed that of the commonly used Champion “00” and Penrite Semi-Fluid Steering Gear Fluid from Australia (which surprisingly at manufacturer stated 18 pounds, doesn’t meet EP minimum standard of 40 pounds for Timken OK Load test, per ASTM D 2509). The base oil viscosity is equivalent to 90 weight gear oil, which was the original spec for many GM steering gearboxes. It will flow better than the commonly used John Deere “Corn Head” grease, which is NLGI 0 rated. It should not leak as does 90 weight gear oil from vintage steering gearboxes in normal condition and operation.
Since it is available from Chevron in a minimum 35 pound (5 gallon) pail, this is excess material well over and above my needs, recently acquired and repackaged in my shop in fluorinated HDPE quart containers or brand new grease cartridge tubes, metal seal on one end and plastic cap on the other. The tubes are also HPDE lined for safe long-term storage of grease.
The containers are filled and weighed in my shop. Each quart container is sealed, and both bottle or grease cartridge are labeled with the Chevron Smart-fill labeling system code for Delo EP 00 grease. Somewhat limited supply of 1-quart containers (1.875 pounds net weight) or 14 oz grease cartridges. The pail in the photo below is the one from which this material is repackaged.
You will receive a copy of the Chevron Product Data Sheet (PDS) and MSDS in the shipment.
