New
Mobilgard M Series' chemistry solves the most common problems of
today's medium-speed engines
Posted: 3 April 2003
FAIRFAX, Va — ExxonMobil today announced
the global availability of Mobilgard M Series, a line of oils specifically
formulated to meet the lubrication challengers of today's more demanding
medium-speed diesel engines operating on residual fuel.
ExxonMobil launched the new M Series — M330, M430, M340,
M440 and M50 — to deal with stresses caused by today's increased
use of lower-quality residual fuels, higher fuel injection pressures,
and lower specific lube-oil consumption rates.
These factors typically result in piston undercrown and ring-belt
deposits, fuel contamination of the lube oil, and sludge build-up
in the crankcase.
"Mobilgard M Series' unique additive system provides world-class
piston undercrown control, unmatched lube-fuel compatibility and
excellent overall cleanliness," said Pat Brown, global marketing
manager - industrial, ExxonMobil Lubricants & Specialties.
"Mobilgard M Series is the best overall performing lubricant
for medium-speed marine diesel engines.For plant operators interested
in reducing downtime and saving money on maintenance, these oils
are the answer.
"Our superior technology and key alliances with the world's
leading equipment builders enables ExxonMobil to stay in the forefront
of lubrication."
To validate the effectiveness of the new product, ExxonMobil researchers
subjected Mobilgard M Series to a comprehensive, three-year battery
of bench and laboratory tests, as well as extensive field evaluations.
It has since been accepted by major four-stroke engine manufacturers,
including Wartsila, MAN B&W, Pielstick and MaK.
With 14 lubricant refineries and a global network of blend plants,
ExxonMobil is a major marketer of finished lubricant products in
nearly 200 countries and territories. MobilGard M Series oils are
now available at major supply points. (Business Wire)
