Selection of Lubricating Grease
The National Lubricating Grease Institute (NLGI) has
developed a symbol (Certification Mark) to aid the
vehicle owner in the proper selection of grease for the
lubrication of wheel bearings and chassis components.
This symbol (an example is shown below) is located on
the grease container and identifies the application and
quality of the grease.
There are two groups iden-
tified, those for wheel bear-
ings (Letter “G”) and those
for chassis (Letter “L”) lu-
brication. Performance cat-
egories within these groups
result in dual letter designa-
tions for each group. The
letter designations shown in
the example are the highest
quality level available and when combined as shown can
be used for both wheel bearing and chassis lubrication.
Use only those greases that have the NLGI symbol on the
container along with the proper quality level for your
application.
