Mobil SHC™ 600 Series oils

For more than 40 years, Mobil SHC™ 600 Series synthetic circulating and gear oils have delivered premium performance in gearboxes operating in extreme temperatures or under heavy loads. They continue to be recognised by equipment manufacturers for addressing specific lubrication challenges.

Mobil SHC 600 Series lubricants are used in a wide range of marine applications, especially fuel and lubricant centrifuges and purifiers, as well as cranes and other hard-to-service equipment. The series is also suitable for use in a range of deck machinery.

Mobil SHC 600 Series synthetic lubricants can help reduce energy consumption in gearboxes and circulating systems by up to 3.6 per cent*. They can also help:

• Reduce equipment downtime
• Minimise maintenance through exceptional rust and corrosion protection, even in extreme conditions
• Limit power consumption, which can minimise operational costs
• Extend oil life by up to six times vs. conventional oil

*The energy efficiency design is a trademark of Exxon Mobil Corporation. Energy efficiency relates solely to the fluid performance when compared to conventional (mineral) reference oils of the same viscosity grade in circulating and gear applications. The technology used allows up to 3.6 per cent efficiency compared with the reference when tested in a worm gearbox under controlled conditions. Efficiency improvements will vary based on operating conditions and applications.

The Mobil SHC brand of lubricants are recognized and appreciated around the world for their innovation and outstanding performance. These synthetic products, molecularly designed and pioneered by our research scientists, embody the continuing commitment to using advanced technology to provide outstanding lubricant products. The development of Mobil SHC 600 Series was preceded by close contacts between our scientists and application specialists with key Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to ensure that the products provide exceptional performance in the continually evolving industrial equipment designs.

Our work with key equipment builders has helped confirm the results from our own laboratory and rig tests showing the exceptional performance of Mobil SHC 600 Series lubricants. Not least among the benefits, shown in work with OEMs, is the potential for energy efficiency improvements up to 3.6% relative to mineral oils (*). These benefits are particularly evident in equipment with a high level of mechanical losses, such as high ratio worm gears.

To develop the latest Mobil SHC technology for Mobil SHC 600 Series oils, our product formulation scientists chose select base oils because of their exceptional thermal/oxidative resistance potential and combined them with a balanced additive system, which complements the inherent benefits of the base oils to provide excellent oil life, deposit control and resistance to thermal/oxidative and chemical degradation. This formulation approach provides low temperature fluidity characteristics exceeding that of many conventional mineral products and is a key benefit for remote, low ambient temperature applications.
