Reformulated Cylinder Oil

Share

With the International Maritime Organization’s 2020 marine fuel sulfur cap approaching, ExxonMobil launched Mobilgard 540, a cylinder lubricant that will operate with 0.5 percent sulfur fuels. The 40 base number cylinder oil replaces the oil major’s Mobilgard 525 and provides deposit control, prevents scuffing wear, has increased thermal and oxidative stability and allows for longer piston overhauls. Mobilgard 540 will be available across ExxonMobil’s global port network and can be used in vessels that currently have Mobilgard 525 operating in 0.1 percent sulfur Emission Control Areas, the company says.
