ExxonMobil · Mobilgard Marine · Authorised Distributor — South Africa
Mobilgard™ M440 is a premium, extra high performance 40 TBN SAE 40 trunk piston engine oil (TPEO) — part of the Mobilgard M40 Series and the highest TBN grade in the M-Series range. Designed for the most severe residual-fuelled medium-speed diesel applications where the higher 40 TBN provides greater acid neutralisation capacity for engines operating on higher-sulphur residual fuels or under more demanding conditions than the 30 BN M430 can address. Features ExxonMobil patented DAC (Detecting Asphaltene Contamination) test technology. Available from Orbit Industrial — authorised Mobil distributor, South Africa.

Features & Benefits
40 BN — Maximum Acid Neutralisation
Highest TBN in the M-Series — 40 mgKOH/g provides maximum acid neutralisation capacity for engines burning higher-sulphur residual fuels or operating under the most severe conditions where 30 BN M430 may be insufficient.
Outstanding Residual Fuel Compatibility
High performance additive detergent technology provides outstanding fuel-lube compatibility — preventing asphaltene sludge formation and enabling longer oil life in the most severe HFO-fuelled medium-speed applications.
Excellent Engine Cleanliness
Reduced deposits in piston undercrown and ring belt areas — keeping crankcase, camshaft and piston areas clean for extended overhaul intervals in the harshest residual-fuelled medium-speed marine engine applications.
ExxonMobil Patented DAC Test
Developed using the patented DAC (Detecting Asphaltene Contamination) test — detecting asphaltene contamination that could cause piston damage and excessive oil consumption if undetected in high-sulphur fuel operation.
High Performance Thermal Stability
Excellent TBN retention and resistance to viscosity increases over long operating periods — maintaining consistent protection throughout extended drain intervals even in the most demanding residual fuel conditions.
Excellent Lube-Fuel Compatibility
Outstanding fuel-lube compatibility and easy water separation — critical for vessels operating on varied residual fuel qualities and sulphur levels through different African ports.
Applications
High-Sulphur HFO Operations
Medium-speed engines operating on higher-sulphur residual fuels — where the 40 BN provides greater acid neutralisation capacity than the 30 BN M430 for more aggressive sulphuric acid neutralisation requirements.
Most Severe Residual Fuel Applications
The most demanding medium-speed residual-fuelled applications in deep-sea shipping, coastal vessels and stationary power generation — where maximum TBN and cleanliness performance is required.
FPSO & Offshore Power
Medium-speed diesel generator engines on FPSOs and offshore platforms operating on high-sulphur residual fuel — where maximum TBN reserve is critical for extended continuous duty operation.
