Mobil™ Industrial Gear Oil
Mobilgear 600 XP 220
Extra High-Performance Industrial Gear Oil | ISO VG 220 | DIN 51517-3 CLP
Product Overview
Mobilgear 600 XP 220 is an extra high-performance mineral industrial gear oil formulated for enclosed gear drives requiring ISO VG 220 lubrication. ISO 220 is the most widely specified industrial gear oil grade across South African mining, manufacturing and processing plant operations — making Mobilgear 600 XP 220 the standard choice for the majority of enclosed gearbox applications including conveyor drives, mixers, agitators, screens and general medium-duty industrial gearboxes.
Formulated from high-quality mineral base oils and an advanced additive system, it delivers outstanding extreme-pressure characteristics, exceptional micropitting resistance and superior bearing protection. Its balanced formulation maintains full compatibility with common gearbox seal materials, preventing leaks and protecting against contamination ingress across extended service intervals.
Approved by Flender (Siemens), SEW-Eurodrive, ZF and meeting AGMA 9005-F16, DIN 51517-3 and ISO 12925-1 — Mobilgear 600 XP 220 covers the vast majority of industrial gearbox OEM specifications encountered across South African industry. Always confirm the required ISO VG grade from the gearbox nameplate or OEM manual before ordering.
Key Performance Benefits
Micropitting Protection
FZG micropitting Stage 10 / High rating — protects hardened gear tooth surfaces against surface fatigue, preventing progressive gear tooth damage and unplanned gearbox failure in continuous-operation equipment.
Superior Bearing Protection
FE 8 roller wear of just 2 mg — up to 15 times better than the industry baseline. Reduced wear debris denting delivers up to 22% improvement in bearing life, directly lowering replacement costs and unplanned downtime.
Oxidation & Thermal Stability
Excellent resistance to oxidation and thermal degradation — extends lubricant life, reduces scheduled drain frequency and keeps gearbox internals clean. Suitable for bulk oil temperatures up to 100°C.
Water & Foam Resistance
Strong resistance to foaming and emulsion formation ensures effective lubrication in the presence of water contamination — critical for mining and processing plant gearboxes in wet or humid environments.
Typical Applications
Mobilgear 600 XP 220 is recommended where the gearbox OEM specifies ISO VG 220, AGMA 5 EP or DIN 51517-3 CLP 220. As the most common industrial gear oil grade in South Africa, ISO 220 covers a wide range of enclosed gearbox applications:
Mining & Processing Plants
Conveyor head drives and take-up gearboxes · Screen and vibrating feeder drives · Agitator and pump gearboxes · Lighter crusher auxiliary drives · Processing plant general gearboxes
Manufacturing & Industry
General enclosed gearboxes · Extruder and mixer drives · Fan and blower gearboxes · Packaging line drives · Steel mill auxiliary drives · Food and beverage processing gearboxes
Marine Gearing
Marine auxiliary gearboxes · Deck machinery including winches and windlasses · Pump and elevator drives · Centrifuge gearboxes · Crane and hoist drives
Non-Gear Applications
Shaft couplings · Heavily loaded plain and rolling contact bearings at slow speed · Screw drives requiring EP lubrication · Industrial machinery components
