ExxonMobil · Mobilgard™ Marine · Authorised Distributor — South Africa
Mobilgard™ M430 is a premium, extra high performance 30 TBN SAE 40 trunk piston engine oil (TPEO) designed for the most severe residual-fuelled medium-speed diesel applications in marine and stationary power industries. Part of the Mobilgard M30 Series, it is formulated using high performance additive detergent technology to deliver outstanding residual fuel compatibility, excellent engine cleanliness in crankcase, camshaft, ring belt and piston undercrown areas, and exceptional TBN retention and thermal stability over extended operating periods. The result of an extensive research programme incorporating ExxonMobil's patented DAC (Detecting Asphaltene Contamination) test. Available through Orbit Industrial — authorised Mobil distributor, South Africa.

Features & Benefits
Outstanding Residual Fuel Compatibility
High performance additive detergent technology provides outstanding fuel-lube compatibility — reducing sludge formation from asphaltene contamination and enabling longer oil life in residual-fuelled medium-speed engines.
Excellent Engine Cleanliness
Reduced deposits in piston undercrown and ring belt areas — keeping crankcase, camshaft and piston areas clean for extended periods between overhauls in the most severe residual-fuelled medium-speed applications.
High Performance Thermal & Oxidation Stability
Excellent TBN retention and resistance to viscosity increases over long operating periods — maintaining consistent engine protection through extended drain intervals in severe service medium-speed marine diesel applications.
Excellent Lube-Fuel Compatibility
Compared to other medium-speed engine oils, excellent lube-fuel compatibility and easy water separation — critical for vessels operating on a range of residual fuel qualities through different ports.
ExxonMobil Patented DAC Test
Developed using ExxonMobil's patented DAC (Detecting Asphaltene Contamination) test — which checks lubricant samples for asphaltene contamination that, left undetected, could lead to piston damage and excessive oil consumption.
Rust & Corrosion Protection
Outstanding rust and corrosion protection — protecting critical wear surfaces from water and acidic corrosion in residual-fuelled medium-speed engines operating in the marine environment.
Recommended Applications
Deep-Sea Vessel Main Propulsion
Main propulsion and auxiliary engines on deep-sea vessels — bulk carriers, tankers, container ships and cargo vessels with medium-speed trunk piston engines running on residual fuels.
Coastal & River Ships
Main propulsion engines on coastal and river ships operating in South African coastal waters — particularly vessels calling at Cape Town, Durban, Saldanha and Port Elizabeth.
Stationary Power Plants
Medium-speed stationary diesel engines in power generation and industrial applications where 30 TBN residual fuel engine oil performance is required.
FPSO & Offshore Power
Medium-speed diesel generator engines on FPSOs and offshore platforms operating on HFO — where 30 TBN trunk piston engine oil performance is required for continuous duty power generation.
