SKF VKG grease is a grease for automotive bearings formulated to lubricate and protect components subjected to varying loads and temperatures. It is used in wheel bearings, bushings and joints where a stable film and resistance to water washout are required. MR Accesorios Industriales carries this line as an official brand, backed by more than 80 years in the Argentine industrial market.

The VKG designation identifies the SKF line of greases for the automotive aftermarket. The part numbers, such as VKG 1/0.2 and VKG 1001, combine the abbreviation with a number that may indicate the package size or a formulation variant. In VKG 1/0.2, the 1 usually refers to the quantity in kilograms and 0.2 to a smaller portion, while VKG 1001 corresponds to an internal product code. To avoid mistakes, send us the full part number exactly as it appears on the package.

This grease is applied in mechanical workshops, automotive maintenance services and plants that repair equipment with bearings. It is common for regreasing wheel bearings, hubs, rollers and joints that operate with vibration and exposure to moisture. In Argentina, it is used by mechanics on cars, light commercial vehicles and pickup trucks, as well as by industries that maintain fleets or machinery with rolling components. Its formulation is designed to last under severe conditions.

To select the correct grease, take into account the bearing type, rotation speed and working temperature. VKG is intended for automotive bearings, but it is advisable to verify compatibility with seals and oil seals. During mounting, clean the housing, apply the right amount without overfilling and make sure the bearing turns freely. Excessive lubrication can cause overheating; insufficient lubrication, premature wear.

SKF VKG greases can be interchanged with other greases of similar specification, but not all formulations are equivalent. Before mixing with another brand or type, check thickener and base oil compatibility. If you need to replace an existing grease, the safest approach is to clean the component and apply the new grease. MR Accesorios Industriales can advise you on the right equivalent for your application.
