ExxonMobil Marine · Mobilgard™ · Authorised Distributor — South Africa

Mobilgard™ 5100 is a premium quality, high-performance 100 BN SAE 50 marine diesel engine cylinder oil for two-stroke crosshead engines — engineered to deliver outstanding performance at the elevated peak firing pressures and liner temperatures found in modern marine two-stroke engines. Through a balanced formulation and high Base Number, Mobilgard 5100 demonstrates the ability to optimise cylinder oil feed-rates whilst mitigating corrosive wear in highly corrosive engines — including demanding slow-steaming operations. Superior detergency, excellent thermal and oxidation stability and low volatility ensure excellent lubricant distribution and oil film retention. Approved by MAN Energy Solutions (Everllence) Category II, WinGD and Japan Engine Corporation (MHI). Available from Orbit Industrial — authorised Mobil distributor, South Africa.

100 BN — Optimised Feed Rate & Corrosive Wear Mitigation

Mobilgard 5100's 100 BN formulation is specifically balanced to allow operators to optimise cylinder oil feed rates — reducing lubricant consumption without sacrificing corrosion protection — while simultaneously mitigating the corrosive wear that occurs in highly corrosive engines and during slow-steaming operations where liner temperatures are lower and sulphuric acid condensation risk is higher. The low volatility ensures excellent oil film retention and distribution across the full liner height under modern high-BMEP operating conditions.

Features & Benefits

Corrosive Wear Mitigation

Demonstrated ability to mitigate corrosive wear in highly corrosive engines across all ranges of operation — including the slow-steaming conditions where lower liner temperatures increase the risk of sulphuric acid condensation and corrosive attack on cylinder liners.

Optimised Feed Rate Capability

Balanced formulation allows operators to optimise cylinder oil feed rates — reducing lubricant consumption and operating costs without compromising liner and ring protection, particularly important for vessel operators managing lubricant costs on extended deep-sea voyages.

High Peak Firing Pressure Performance

Performance demonstrated at the elevated peak firing pressures and liner temperatures found in modern two-stroke engines — including the latest long-stroke, high-efficiency engine designs from MAN ES and WinGD where conventional cylinder oils may not provide adequate protection.

Superior Detergency

Superior detergency capability leads to potentially cleaner engine components — maintaining piston ring groove, liner and undercrown cleanliness across extended operating periods in residual-fuelled two-stroke engines where combustion deposits are the primary maintenance challenge.

Excellent Thermal & Oxidation Stability

Excellent thermal and oxidation stability can lead to reduced deposits and sludge formation in the cylinder liner area — maintaining clean operation and consistent lubrication performance across the full operating temperature range of modern high-output two-stroke engines.

Low Volatility — Film Retention

Low volatility ensures excellent lubricant distribution and oil film retention across the full liner height — maintaining the continuous protective oil film required for reliable ring and liner protection under the intermittent lubrication conditions of two-stroke crosshead cylinder lubricating systems.

Applications

Two-Stroke Crosshead Engines

Primary application — slow-speed two-stroke crosshead marine diesel engines on deep-sea vessels. MAN ES and WinGD engines on bulk carriers, tankers, container ships and offshore vessels operating on residual fuel.

Slow Steaming Operations

Specifically demonstrated for slow-steaming operation — where reduced liner temperatures increase corrosive wear risk and conventional cylinder oils may not provide adequate protection against sulphuric acid attack on liner surfaces.

Modern High-BMEP Two-Stroke Engines

Latest generation MAN ES and WinGD long-stroke engines with elevated peak firing pressures and liner temperatures — where Mobilgard 5100's performance has been demonstrated under the demanding conditions of modern high-efficiency engine designs.

Note: Mobilgard 5100 is a two-stroke crosshead cylinder oil — it is used in the cylinder lubricating system, not the crankcase/system circuit. For the system circuit oil, see Mobilgard 300 C →. For vessels where a lower BN cylinder oil is required (IMO 2020 / VLSFO), see Mobilgard 540 (40 BN) →
