// AUTOMOTIVE OVERVIEW
Automotive Lubrication Overview
From wheel-end and drivetrain systems to hinges, rails, seals and connectors, every automotive moving interface needs the right grease to reduce friction, resist corrosion and extend service life.
// OPERATING CHALLENGES
What Automotive Greases Must Handle
Temperature Extremes
Cold starts, under-hood heat, thermal cycling, and seasonal temperature changes.
Water & Corrosion
Rainwater, road splash, humidity, washing chemicals, and salt exposure.
Load & Wear
Shock load, vibration, sliding friction, oscillating motion, and bearing pressure.
Noise Control
Squeaks, rattles, gear noise, seat-track noise, and mechanism vibration.
Material Compatibility
Compatibility with metals, plastics, elastomers, seals, coatings, and electrical materials.
Long-Life Performance
Low migration, oxidation resistance, mechanical stability, and extended relubrication intervals.
// APPLICATION POSITIONS
Automotive Grease Application Guide
Find the lubrication position, grease category and core purpose for each application group.Brake Systems
4 positions| Main Application Position | Recommended Grease | Recommended Model | Core Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Caliper guide pin-to-bore contact surfaces | Dedicated guide pin grease | Reduce sliding resistance and prevent corrosion and sticking. | |
| Brake pad ears and bracket contact surfaces | Brake support contact paste | Paste Zs31 | Reduce friction and corrosion at support points to maintain smooth sliding. |
| Specified brake pad backing plate and shim contact surfaces | High-temperature brake anti-squeal paste | Paste Zs31 | Reduce interface vibration and corrosion to help minimize associated noise. |
| Drum brake shoe-to-backing plate support points | Drum brake mechanism grease | Paste Zs31 | Reduce friction, wear and noise at support contact surfaces. |
Ignition, Electrical & Battery
6 positions| Main Application Position | Recommended Grease | Recommended Model | Core Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ignition boot-to-spark plug ceramic contact surface | Boot-specific dielectric silicone grease | GSJ 10-202 | Protect against moisture and sticking, and ease subsequent removal. |
| Specified bulb and socket interfaces | Moisture-protective lamp socket grease | Reduce moisture ingress, oxidation and corrosion. | |
| Specified trailer electrical plug interfaces | Trailer connector protective grease | GSJ 10-202 | Reduce corrosion caused by rainwater and road salt. |
| Specified low-voltage harness terminal contact surfaces | Connector grease validated for the electrical application | Reduce mating wear, fretting wear and moisture-related corrosion. | |
| Low-voltage connector seal contact surfaces | Material-compatible seal grease | WSG S2-021 | Reduce assembly force and seal damage. |
| Exposed battery terminal and clamp surfaces after connection | Battery terminal protective grease | Protect exposed metal surfaces against oxidation and corrosion. |
Body Mechanisms & Sliding Rails
7 positions| Main Application Position | Recommended Grease | Recommended Model | Core Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Door hinge pin contact surfaces | Water-resistant rust-protective hinge grease | Reduce opening and closing friction and wear, and relieve noise caused by insufficient lubrication. | |
| Hood latch claws and pivots | Rust-protective latch mechanism grease | Keep the latch moving freely and reduce corrosion and sticking. | |
| Trunk latch claws and pivots | Rust-protective latch mechanism grease | Reduce wear and corrosion to maintain smooth opening and closing. | |
| Seat rail and slider contact surfaces | Low-oil-separation rail grease | Reduce sliding resistance and noise while controlling grease migration and interior staining. | |
| Internal window regulator rail and slider contact surfaces | Material-compatible rail grease | Reduce slider friction and wear to maintain smooth window movement. | |
| Specified truck sliding-door rail contact surfaces | Adhesive water-resistant rail grease | Reduce wear and corrosion to maintain smooth sliding. | |
| Sunroof rail and slider contact surfaces | Dedicated sunroof rail grease | Reduce sliding resistance and wear, and improve running noise caused by insufficient lubrication. |
Rubber Weatherstrips
3 positions| Main Application Position | Recommended Grease | Recommended Model | Core Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Door rubber weatherstrip contact surfaces | Rubber care treatment compatible with weatherstrips and coatings | Reduce sticking, freezing and friction noise. | |
| Trunk rubber weatherstrip contact surfaces | Rubber weatherstrip care treatment | Reduce sticking and maintain surface condition. | |
| Sunroof rubber weatherstrip contact surfaces | Dedicated sunroof weatherstrip care treatment | Reduce sticking and friction noise; use separately from sunroof rail grease. |
Threaded Connections
2 positions| Main Application Position | Recommended Grease | Recommended Model | Core Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thread contact surfaces on high-temperature metal connections | Anti-seize paste matched to the metal and operating temperature | Paste Zs20 | Use only where permitted by the manufacturer to reduce galling and corrosion seizure and ease removal. |
| Oxygen sensor mounting threads | Oxygen sensor-specific anti-seize paste | Paste Zs33 | Follow manufacturer instructions to reduce heat-related seizure; do not add paste to existing precoated threads without authorization. |

Prepare the right information for product selection and evaluation.
What information helps you recommend a grease?
Share the component, contact materials, temperature range, speed, load and working environment. A photo, drawing or current lubricant reference helps us review a suitable starting product.
Can I request technical documents and samples?
Contact our team with the product or application reference. We can review the relevant product-specific TDS or SDS and discuss samples for testing on your actual components.
Can the lubricant be supplied in small packaging?
Explore our tubes, syringes, sachets and other packaging formats. Tell us your target fill size, application method, labeling needs and expected quantity so we can review the supply format.
