Greetings !
I have not heard of plastilube, however the grade 0 should indicate a semi fluid grease.
I will do some research to see if I can identify exactly what this spec is and get back to you.
Thank you !
Have a great day !

Greetings !
Plastilube grade 0 is a NLGI 0 fluid type grease.
Amsoil makes 2 of these semi fluid greases that would fit the application.
I assume this is a gearbox application, please let me know if otherwise.
Here are the links to the specification sheets for these 2 products :
The first one is NLGI 0. The second one is NLGI 00.

35 pounds, wow I definitely don't need that much. It is for a MTD tiller attachment. Gearbox and Bearing cup. Grade "0" is what they call for. I have no idea what i am doing so you will have to bear with me.

Plastilube
Product Description
Plastilube is an organophyllic, synthetic high quality grease based on super-refined mineral oils and
devoid of metallic soap or fatty acid.
Plastilube exhibits the following characteristics:
– Free of metallic soaps
Metallic soaps are not resistant against alkalis. Due to its good pH stability Plastilube is resistant
against soft alkalis and acids. Plastilube is not corrosive.
– Shock resistant
Plastilube’s synthetic thickener is stable; it cannot be extruded from lubricating interface areas by
sudden shock loads and extreme pressures. Plastilube extends lubricant service life and reduces
maintenance frequency.
– Water-insoluble
Plastilube is water-insoluble and will absorb up to half of its weight in water without breakdown or
impairment of lubricating properties. Water will not dissolve Plastilube even at elevated tempera-
tures, assuring excellent wash-off resistance under most adverse conditions.
– Nonmelting
Contrary to metallic soaps Plastilube has no melting point and thus does not drip off at a certain
temperature.
– General-purpose versatility
Due to its characteristics mentioned above Plastilube can be used for many purposes.
Application Areas
Plastilube has proven advantageous as mounting paste against squeaking of drum and disc brakes.
(Please watch instructions of car manufacturers!)
Furthermore Plastilube is particularly used for heavy duty applications, e.g. mill roll journals, high
temperature valve stems, annealing furnace doors, conveyor systems etc. Other applications show-
ing superior savings include machine guides, slides, bearings, enclosed gear boxes, pump com-
pressors, etc.
Plastilube assures superior pumpability and work stability for long-life lubrication. Being free of en-
trained air, Plastilube is excellent for use in central lubrication systems.
