Free Mobil Literature

Details New Diesel Oil

For High Output Engines

Mobil is now offering free liter- ature describing the new Mobil- gard 450 Marine Diesel Oil, a fourth generation SAE 40 lubri- cant created specifically to meet the requirements of high output, medium-speed trunk diesel en- gines operating under severe con- ditions. It is formulated for im- proved engine protection, longer oil life and less oil consumption.

Mobil reports it has the reverse al- kalinity needed in engines burn- ing fuels with up to 2 percent sul- fur content.

The new oil meets the require- ments of all General Motors-Elec- tro-Motive Division marine diesel engines, including those equipped with silver wrist pin bearings. Ex- tensive fleet service and labora- tory testing have proven its per- formance in General Electric,

ALCO, Fairbanks Morse, Detroit

Diesel, Caterpillar and Cummins engines. Mobilgard 450 can also be used in these engines in drill- ing rigs and stationary power gen- eration service. It exceeds the API requirements for a CD engine oil.

Mobil states the sustained high alkalinity of Mobilgard 450 (TBN 13.5) provides superior corrosion protection for steel, silver, copper, bronze and white metal engine components, especially when high sulfur fuels are used. Its high oxi- dation and thermal stability pro- vide better performance under heavy loads and reduce deposit build-up in port openings. High quality base stocks, combined with detergent-dispersant additives, as- sure longer oil and filter life. The low volatility of the base stocks re- duces oil comsumption.
