Fitment, Shipping & Product Support
Axiom Supply Premium Grease (SKU AXGREASE) features Shell Gadus S3 V220C-2, a high-performance lithium complex grease (NLGI 2) built for demanding automotive and off-road conditions. High viscosity index mineral oil base with lithium complex soap thickener and extreme-pressure additives deliver a higher dropping point, excellent mechanical stability under vibration, and superior heat and pressure resistance compared to standard greases. Signature red color makes application easy to see and helps spot contamination quickly. Resists water washout and protects against corrosion under heavy loads. Suitable for wheel bearings and hub assemblies, suspension bushings, ball joints, tie rod ends, U-joints, driveshaft slip yokes, chassis grease (zerk) fittings, trailer wheel bearings, and general shop lubrication points. Compatible with automotive, UTV, trailer, and industrial applications.

Application
Universal lubrication for:
- Wheel bearings and hub assemblies (automotive and UTV)
- Suspension bushings, ball joints, and tie rod ends
- U-joints and driveshaft slip yokes
- Chassis grease fittings (zerk fittings)
- Trailer wheel bearings and hitch components
- General shop and equipment lubrication points
Usage Notes
- Do not mix grease types. This is a lithium complex grease. Mixing with incompatible thickener types (calcium, polyurea, etc.) can cause grease breakdown, loss of film strength, and accelerated component wear. If switching grease types, purge the old grease completely before applying.
- Grease compatibility. Confirm this lithium complex formulation matches your component manufacturer's recommendation before use, particularly for sealed bearing applications with specific OEM grease requirements.
- Application method. Apply via grease gun for zerk fittings. For wheel bearings, pack by hand or with a bearing packer tool to ensure full penetration through the bearing cage.
- Service intervals. Follow OEM or component manufacturer lubrication intervals. Do not over-grease — excess grease in sealed bearings can damage seals and cause contamination.
- Spotting contamination. The red color makes it easy to visually identify when grease has been displaced or contaminated during inspection.
- Storage. Store in a cool, dry location with the lid sealed. Discard contaminated grease — do not return used grease to the container.
Critical Compatibility
| Configuration | Notes |
|---|---|
| Mixing with non-lithium-complex grease | Not recommended — can cause grease breakdown and accelerated wear; purge old grease completely before switching |
| Sealed bearing applications | Confirm OEM grease specification before substituting — some sealed units require non-lithium formulations |
| Over-greasing sealed bearings | Can damage seals — apply only as much as needed |
Common Questions
What specific Shell Gadus product is this?
Shell Gadus S3 V220C-2 — a lithium complex, NLGI 2 grease with extreme-pressure additives.
Can I mix this with my existing grease?
Only if your existing grease is also lithium complex-based. Mixing incompatible thickener types causes breakdown. If unsure, purge the old grease completely before applying this one.
Is this good for UTV wheel bearings exposed to water and mud?
Yes. Shell Gadus S3 V220C-2 has good water-washout resistance and maintains mechanical stability under vibration, making it well suited to UTV and off-road applications.
Why is it red?
The red color is a visual identifier — it makes it easy to confirm proper application coverage and spot contamination during later inspection.
The Obsidian Take
Axiom's Premium Grease is Shell Gadus S3 V220C-2 under Axiom's label — a genuine, named industrial-grade lithium complex grease, not a generic "high-performance" claim. NLGI 2 consistency, extreme-pressure rated, water-washout resistant, mechanically stable under vibration — appropriate for wheel bearings, suspension bushings, U-joints, and chassis points across trucks, UTVs, and trailers.
The one thing to confirm before use: this is lithium complex. If your existing grease or your component manufacturer specifies a different thickener type, don't mix — purge first.
