Description
Genuine MOLYKOTE® 55 O-Ring Grease in a 100g tube, for lubricating O-rings, rubber seals and rubber-to-metal interfaces during assembly and in service. Its NLGI 2 grease consistency keeps the lubricant where it is applied, helping seals slide into position cleanly while reducing friction, twisting, pinching and installation damage.
MOLYKOTE 55 provides lasting lubrication after assembly and is formulated to produce a slight swelling of compatible rubber O-rings and seals, helping support effective sealing. Excellent oxidation resistance and heat stability help the grease remain effective in service, making the 100g tube well suited to regular workshop use and repeated seal and O-ring assembly work.
One useful Land Rover application is lubricating injector O-rings during seal replacement on Defender TD5 and Discovery 2 TD5 engines. For the related copper washers, O-rings and complete seal kits, see our TD5 injector seal kits.
Using MOLYKOTE 55
Apply a light, even coating to the O-ring or seal before assembly. Only a small amount is required; enough to provide an even lubricating film and allow the seal to pass cleanly into position.
Keep the grease and components clean during assembly. Avoid introducing dirt, fibres, metal particles or cleaning residue, and do not mix MOLYKOTE 55 with other greases.

- Need longer? Eligible products can be returned under our voluntary extended returns policy. Contact us within 60 days of delivery and, once the return has been agreed, send the goods back within 14 days.
