Key Features & Benefits – Red Line CV-2 synthetic EP grease with red moly
The Red Line CV-2 synthetic EP grease with red moly is a synthetic extreme-pressure grease for high-load use. Functionally, it can be used for wheel bearings, CV joints, general-purpose lubrication points and other high-speed bearings, and NLGI #2 / GC-LB is one of the key checks when choosing it.
It uses a non-soap calcium thickener, has a dropping point above 800°F (426 °C), and is stated for applications from -100°F to 500°F. Good water resistance, oxidation resistance and low oil separation matter where heat and speed are part of the operating environment.
When is this useful?
This grease is useful in bearings and joints where temperature, load and rotational speed come together. The GC-LB rating, high dropping point and red moly content make it relevant where grease stability and load-carrying protection are important selection factors.

Selection & installation tips
- Rating: Check whether the bearing or joint requires an NLGI #2 grease with GC-LB style classification.
- Temperature: Compare the real operating environment with the stated -100°F to 500°F range and the dropping point above 800°F.
- Thickener: Confirm that a non-soap calcium structure and moly-containing grease are suitable for the intended assembly.
- Cleaning: Before repacking, remove old grease as thoroughly as practical to reduce compatibility risk and abrasive wear particles.
- Seals: Inspect boots and seals before assembly, because damaged sealing will affect grease service life.
Before installation, verify the grease classification required by the bearing or joint, the expected heat load, the thickener type and any requirement for moly content, then compare those points with the details listed above.
