# 1161251 Grease | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

## 🔧 Product Description

A genuine Volvo Penta lithium-complex mineral-oil bearing grease with extreme-pressure additives. It is formulated for ball bearings, roller bearings and other heavily loaded rotating components that experience elevated temperatures, water exposure or demanding service cycles. The grease is supplied in a cartridge suitable for a standard grease gun. Its NLGI 2 consistency, thermal stability and corrosion protection make it suitable for Volvo Penta marine and industrial bearing applications where 1161251 is specified.

## ⚙️ Key Features

-   Genuine Volvo Penta OEM part number 1161251
-   System group: Chemical Products
-   Net weight 0.45 kg
-   Service lubricant for marine engine and drive maintenance points
-   Universal workshop consumable - not restricted to a single engine model
-   Engine type: Volvo Penta marine and industrial engines, transmissions and bearing assemblies

## 🔌 Function

Grease provides a durable lubricating and protective film between moving or mating metal parts, reducing friction and wear. It also helps seal contact surfaces against water ingress and corrosion in the marine environment.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Dried, hardened or discoloured grease found at a lubrication point during service
-   Water washout or emulsified, milky appearance indicating loss of protection
-   Squealing, binding or stiff movement of splines, cables or pivot points
-   Surface corrosion or pitting on components that should be greased
-   Accelerated wear or scoring on mating surfaces due to lapsed lubrication intervals

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   This is the NLGI 2 lithium-complex EP bearing grease supplied in a standard grease-gun cartridge at 0.45 kg net — check your gun takes this cartridge size before ordering, since other Volvo Penta greases of the same name come in a different pack size (22618330, for example, is a 400 g cartridge)
-   Use it for ball and roller bearings under load, heat or water exposure; it is not the specified impeller lubricant, so don't use it to pack a raw-water pump impeller (that's 3862178)
