Launch of the Mobilgard 560 VS
Mobilgard 560 VS by ExxonMobil is a high performance, marine diesel engine cylinder oil designed for use in crosshead engines running heavy fuel with sulfur levels from 0.5-4%. This new cylinder lubricant technology provides maximum protection from adhesive and corrosive wear at the higher operating temperatures and pressures found in today's modern crosshead engines.
The outstanding performance of Mobilgard 560 VS has been demonstrated at the highest peak firing pressures and liner temperatures.
The International Maritime Organization has mandated the use of low sulfur fuel oil in designated Emission Control Areas (ECA’s). This mandate has created cylinder lubrication challenges for vessels that transit in and out of the ECA areas and who operate on both low sulfur and high sulfur fuels. The solution: Mobilgard 560 VS.
Mobilgard 560 VS meets the requirements of Wärtsilä, MAN and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries for use in marine 2-stroke engines using low or high sulfur heavy fuel oils. This new SAE 50, 60 TBN cylinder oil replaces Mobilgard 570 and Mobilgard L540 in all locations globally. The conversion will be a running change as we run down our stocks of Mobilgard 570 and Mobilgard L540.
