Valvoline VV986 Full Synthetic Moly Grease 1 lb — NLGI No.2, -60°F to 425°F temperature range

Valvoline VV986 is a moly-fortified, full synthetic lithium-complex grease designed to protect bearings, chassis points and heavy-duty components across extreme temperatures and heavy loads.

Built for automotive and industrial use, this full synthetic grease blends a lithium complex thickener with a synthetic base oil and molybdenum disulfide for added film strength. The formulation targets equipment that sees high pressures, shock loads and wide temperature swings — delivering longer service life than many conventional greases while remaining compatible with U.S., European and Japanese vehicle systems.

How does this grease perform in very low or very high temperatures?

VV986 maintains lubricant film and pumpability from frigid down to very hot conditions, helping moving parts stay protected where conventional greases fail. Its synthetic base oil and lithium-complex thickener resist hardening at cold temperatures and thinning at elevated temperatures.

• Service range: approximately -60°F to 425°F (-51°C to 218°C) for performance retention
• Synthetic base oil improves low-temperature flow and high-temperature stability
• Remains NLGI No.2 consistency across the working range

What advantages does moly (molybdenum disulfide) add?

Moly forms a durable solid film on metal surfaces, reducing metal-to-metal contact under heavy loads and shock. When combined with extreme-pressure additives, it increases resistance to wear and scoring in bearings, pivots and geared interfaces.

• Enhanced film strength for heavy-load resistance
• Improved protection during boundary lubrication conditions
• Works with extreme-pressure chemistry to extend component life

Which vehicles and equipment is this grease compatible with?

Valvoline VV986 is suitable for a broad range of automotive and industrial applications, including passenger cars, light trucks and off-road equipment from U.S., European and Japanese manufacturers. It is formulated as a multi-purpose solution for chassis points, wheel bearings and many greaseable joints where NLGI No.2 is recommended.

• Engineered for all U.S., European and Japanese vehicles
• Meets needs of heavy-duty and multi-purpose service intervals
• Appropriate for chassis, bearings and general-purpose lubrication points

How does this product compare to conventional greases?

Compared with mineral-based conventional greases, this full synthetic option offers superior temperature tolerance, longer oxidation life and better resistance to water washout and mechanical breakdown. The lithium-complex thickener delivers staying power under heavy loads while synthetic fluids reduce friction and extend relubrication intervals.

• Longer life at high temperatures versus conventional greases
• Improved low-temperature pumpability and start-up protection
• Moly and EP additives give extra wear resistance under stress

Who is this for: Professional mechanics, fleet managers and DIY enthusiasts who need a versatile, heavy-duty grease that withstands severe service. If you maintain vehicles or equipment exposed to heavy loads, shock, wide temperature swings or mixed environmental conditions, Valvoline VV986 offers a robust, synthetic-based option to reduce wear and lengthen service intervals without changing established NLGI No.2 filling practices.
