Product details
LIQUI MOLY LM 50 Litho HT, part 20248, is a lithium complex soap grease in a 400 g container for lubricating high-load plain and roller bearings, such as wheel bearings and greased industrial transmissions. It is squeeze-stable and water-resistant, and it resists oxidation and corrosion. LIQUI MOLY rates it for very good wear protection and a high capacity to absorb pressure, and the grease can be used across a wide range of applications. Its designation under DIN 51502 is KP2N-30. The rated service range runs from –30 °C to +140 °C, with intermittent use up to +180 °C, and it is made in Germany.
This product carries a 24-month or 24,000-mile warranty.
The DIN code tells you a lot about where this grease belongs. KP marks a mineral-based grease with extreme-pressure additives, the 2 is the consistency class, N sets the upper temperature limit, and –30 is the lowest service temperature. That combination makes LM 50 Litho HT a fit for bearings that see heavy loads and real heat, where a basic chassis grease may thin out or wash away. Grease is a thickened lubricant, and the thickener holds the oil in place on a bearing surface instead of letting it run off like a fluid. LIQUI MOLY was founded in Ulm, Germany, in 1957, and it develops and produces its motor oils and additives in Germany. Its range of more than 4,000 items covers greases and pastes alongside motor oils, additives, and gear oils, and the company tests every step from raw material delivery through production to shipping.

Common Questions
Can I use this grease on wheel bearings?
Yes. LIQUI MOLY names wheel bearings as a typical use for LM 50 Litho HT, along with other high-load plain and roller bearings.
How hot can this grease run?
It is rated for continuous service up to +140 °C and short periods up to +180 °C.
Does water wash it out?
The grease is water-resistant and squeeze-stable, so it holds up in bearings exposed to moisture.
PMB Performance carries LIQUI MOLY greases for bearing and chassis service.
