AMSOIL Spray Grease GSP: Quick Maintenance for DIYers
White lithium, aerosol format, anti-corrosion: GSP makes greasing hinges, chains and hard-to-reach points effortless in your garage or on the farm.
⚠️ Important note — Availability in Canada: AMSOIL Spray Grease GSP is not currently distributed in Canada. This article is published for informational purposes. For your greasing needs in Quebec and Canada, here are alternatives that are 100% available: Multi-Purpose Grease GLC in cartridge format, or get in touch to discuss a tailored solution.
Every DIYer knows the frustration of trying to lubricate a squeaky hinge, a trailer chain or a winch cable with a bulky grease gun. Cartridges are great for Zerk fittings, but they're unusable on most pivot points and open components. AMSOIL Spray Grease GSP was designed precisely for those situations: aerosol format, white lithium formulation, and an adhesion that doesn't drip.
1. What is GSP Spray Grease?
AMSOIL Synthetic Spray Grease GSP is a white lithium grease formulated to be applied as a spray. The solvent that carries the grease evaporates within seconds, leaving behind a thick, sticky film on the metal surface. The result: grease stays exactly where you applied it, with no dripping or running.
The spray format complements traditional cartridges (like Multi-Purpose Grease GLC available in Canada), it doesn't replace them. Each format has its purpose.
2. Seven popular garage applications
- Hinges and pivots — garage doors, hoods, tailgates, trailer doors
- Open chains — chainsaw chains, trailer drive chains, industrial chains
- Steel cables — winch cables, lifting cables, hand brake cables
- Pivot points — levers, seat hinges, push rods
- Trailer hooks — hitches, tow rings, couplers
- Latches and locks — outdoor padlocks, exposed door handles
- Thrust bearings — small bearings without grease fittings, presses, manual winches
In short, wherever a grease gun can't reach or isn't practical, the spray format is the most convenient solution.
3. Why GSP instead of a hardware-store spray grease?
Cheap aerosol lithium greases tend to share three flaws: they drip, they smell strong, and they wash off at the first rain. GSP was formulated to address all three:
- Superior adhesion — stays stuck to metal even under vibration or rotation
- Water resistance — protects components exposed to rain or splash
- Anti-corrosion protection — chemical barrier against rust
- Precise application — the nozzle lets you target a tight spot without spraying everywhere
4. How to apply it properly
Four simple steps for an optimal result:
- Clean the surface — a rag or degreaser to remove old grease and dirt
- Shake the can — at least 30 seconds to properly mix the thickener
- Spray from 6-8 inches — in thin coats, moving the can to cover evenly
- Let the solvent dry — 1 to 2 minutes before putting back in service
For moving chains, slowly rotate the chain during application so the grease penetrates into the rollers.
Summary: why adopt GSP
- Spray format for spots a grease gun can't reach
- Superior adhesion: doesn't drip, doesn't run
- Resists water and corrosion
- Ideal for DIYers, mechanics, farmers and trailer owners
- Perfect complement to your multi-purpose grease cartridge
GSP Spray Grease isn't a gimmick: it's a precision tool that makes preventive maintenance much faster. One can fits into any toolbox and saves valuable time on everyday upkeep.
