Mobilgard™ 570 — Two-Stroke Cylinder Oil | HFO up to 3.5% Sulphur

Mobilgard™ 570 — Two-Stroke Cylinder Oil | HFO up to 3.5% Sulphur

Mobil · Mobilgard™ Marine · Authorised Distributor — South Africa

Mobilgard™ 570 is a premium quality, extra high performance marine diesel engine cylinder oil designed to optimise the performance of two-stroke slow-speed crosshead engines operating on heavy fuel oil (HFO) with a sulphur content of up to 3.5%. With a TBN of 70 mgKOH/g, Mobilgard 570 provides powerful acid neutralisation and outstanding deposit control — helping operators extend periods between overhauls, reduce liner and ring wear and maintain cleaner engines throughout the service life. Mobilgard 570 has received No Objection Letters from MAN Diesel & Turbo, Wärtsilä and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and is suitable for the majority of two-stroke crosshead engines in operation today. Available through Orbit Industrial — authorised Mobil distributor, South Africa.

Features & Benefits

Optimised Engine Performance & Feed Rate Control

Designed for use with Mobil Serv℠ Cylinder Condition Monitoring to help operators optimise cylinder oil feed rates — reducing lubricant consumption while maintaining full cylinder protection throughout the operating cycle.

Excellent Thermal & Oxidation Stability

Resists thermal degradation under the extreme combustion temperatures of slow-speed two-stroke HFO engines — reducing deposits and sludge formation and keeping piston crowns, liners and ring zones clean for extended periods.

Exceptional Anti-Wear & Anti-Scuffing Control

Outstanding anti-wear properties lead to potentially reduced liner and ring wear and excellent anti-scuffing control — extending the interval between cylinder liner replacements and reducing the total cost of cylinder maintenance per voyage.

Outstanding Detergency & Deposit Control

High detergency capability keeps pistons and liners clean — preventing the piston undercrown deposits and ring groove fouling that cause ring sticking, increased blowby and reduced engine efficiency in HFO-fuelled slow-speed engines.

High TBN Reserve — Acid Neutralisation

TBN of 70 mgKOH/g provides powerful neutralisation of the sulphuric acid formed from combustion of high-sulphur heavy fuel oil — protecting cylinder liners and rings from the corrosive wear that is the primary failure mode in HFO-fuelled engines.

Helps Improve Low Corrosion Conditions

Can help improve operation of engines suffering from low levels of corrosion — providing additional protection for vessels transitioning between fuel grades or operating in conditions that result in below-normal liner temperatures and increased corrosion risk.

Recommended Applications

Deep-Sea Bulk Carriers

Two-stroke slow-speed main propulsion engines on bulk carriers, tankers and container ships operating on HFO through South African ports including Cape Town, Durban and Port Elizabeth.

Tankers & Container Ships

MAN ES and Wärtsilä slow-speed crosshead engines on tankers, container ships and cargo vessels operating on HFO with sulphur content up to 3.5% on international routes calling at South African ports.

General Cargo Vessels

Suitable for the majority of two-stroke crosshead engines in operation today — making it the standard choice for general cargo and tramp vessels with diverse engine types calling at South African ports.

Offshore Supply Vessels

Two-stroke main engines on offshore support vessels, AHTS and PSVs operating on HFO through Cape Town and Saldanha Bay — where the broad OEM compatibility of Mobilgard 570 simplifies vessel operator lubricant procurement.

Fuel Selection Note: Mobilgard 570 is designed for HFO up to 3.5% sulphur. For vessels operating on 0.50% sulphur fuel (IMO 2020 compliant), see Mobilgard 540. For ultra-low sulphur distillate (<0.10%S), consult OEM guidance.
