Mobilgear SHC™ MT 68

• Mobil brand lubricants designated as SHC are recognised and appreciated around the world for innovation and outstanding performance. These molecular design PAO synthetic products, pioneered by our research scientists, symbolize the continuing commitment to using advanced technology to provide outstanding products.

A key factor in the development of Mobilgear SHC MT 68 was the close contacts between our scientists and application specialists with key OEMs to ensure that our product offerings will provide exceptional performance with the rapidly evolving marine gear designs and operation. To address the issue of micropitting gear wear, our product formulation scientists designed a proprietary combination of additives which would resist traditional gear wear mechanisms as well as protecting against micropitting. Our formulators chose proprietary PAO synthetic base oils to provide exceptional oil life and deposit control and resistance to thermal/oxidative and chemical degradation, as well as the balance of the performance features. The wax-free nature of the synthetic base oil also provides low temperature fluidity characteristics unmatched by mineral products and is a key benefit for remote, low ambient, applications. Mobilgear SHC MT 68 lubricants offer the following benefits:

• Application Considerations: While the Mobilgear SHC MT 68 is compatible with mineral oil based products mixture may detract from their performance. Consequently it is recommended that before changing a system to Mobilgear SHC MT 68, it should be thoroughly cleaned out and flushed to achieve the maximum performance benefits.
• Mobilgear SHC MT 68 is a premium performance, fully synthetic marine gear oil designed to provide optimum equipment protection and oil life even under extreme conditions. They are especially formulated to resist micropitting of modern gearing and can operate in both high and low temperature environments.
• The product was designed especially for marine thruster/azimuth gear drives requiring an ISO 68 viscosity gear oil with Extreme Pressure (EP) additive protection. Mobilgear SHC MT 68 has approvals from major marine thruster OEMs such as Brunvoll.
