Republic Oil Heavy Duty 5% Moly Grease EP2 10x14oz with Shipping Protection Caps

I've been using this grease for several years now and I could not be happier. Started using it when I got the mini excavator as it specifies a moly grease and I use this for all my equipment. It's far more economical that anything I can buy locally. Little known secret, there are only a few oil/grease manufacturers, and many many "labels". Most stuff is a re-brand or "generic" line of the exact same name brand stuff. Don't waste your money, buy this in bulk. Common issues I see brought up about this and a few other greases from Republic: "It's thin" - No, it's not. You probably bought EP1 grease not realizing there is a pretty noticeable difference in viscosity. EP1 is thinner. EP2 is what most people are used to as it's the most common for general greasing purposes. EP1 has it's uses, you need to lookup the specifications for your equipment to see which one to use. Yes, it matters, a lot. "Metal ends damaged in shipment" - This was a problem at one point, but never anything I could not work with. It definitely could be so severe that tubes were unusable. This problem was remedied with double-end caps and a stronger box for shipping. I have not had any damage on my last several shipments (2024/2025) "Metal caps are junk" - I have not experienced this across any of the products, I've been purchasing multiple types of grease from Republic for years and have seen at least 3 different tube types including the "whatever was available" during the pandemic. If you remove the cap correctly, things are fine. If you don't pull the tab over fully to break the seal, you may pull the entire cap off, that is true of almost any grease tube, not just these. Sorry, that's a skill issue.

Some of the best stuff that I found to use in my equipment machinery, I used to use amsoil with my dealer account and it's not terribly expensive but this is a better deal. And with as much grease as I go through, I'll continue to use it.

quality grease made in USA

They show white protective caps (for a good reason apparently) no white caps and 8 of the 10 tubes were dented 3 were real bad. Disappointing. Im sure it’s good grease. Please put the white caps on for future customers.

Don't even think about it because of the misery caused by the junk plastic tubes and pull cap. Obviously, no one at republic oil tested the design of the tube and plastic pull cap. When you pull the cap (which takes massive effort) it will either break or pop off and shoot grease all over your hands and face. The design involves mind boggling stupidity. I could not design anything worse. Once you do get a tube loaded and try to remove it, have fun because there is no lip like a normal grease gun tube to pull it out. You will need a small screwdriver and a needle nose pliers and you WILL end up with grease all over the place. Again, the stupidity involved in the design of the tubes is at a level beyond imagination. The grease seems fine and my 10 pack will last a lifetime, because it sits in the corner of the shop because no one wants to battle the packaging.

Use it on my Kubota BX23s tractor for all the grease points and on my Mohawk mid rise scissors lift. Appears to work well. Buying a case is far cheaper than buying a grease cartridge one at a time giving the tractor requires lubing the grease points every 10 hours of operation.Would buy again.

What a great idea, take a product that is so much cheaper in bulk and pass some of that savings on to a guy like me. Thanks to the seller for risking the capital. I will look for this seller every time I need to restock. I like the extra distance they went to make sure the grease didn't leak out in shipment. Good Stuff.

These tubes are full, not like Walmart. I compared 4 new tubes of super tech EP Grease. Republic tubes are filled to the top while Walmart tubes are 2.4” low! I wish I took pictures.
