Why Mobil Compressor Oils Outperform
Extended Drain Intervals
Mobil Rarus SHC synthetic formulations deliver significantly longer drain intervals than mineral oils — reducing maintenance frequency, oil consumption and total operating costs in high-volume compressor systems.
Low Carbon & Deposit Formation
Advanced oxidation-resistant additive packages minimise carbon deposits on valves, pistons and discharge lines — keeping compressors cleaner and reducing the risk of oil-related fire hazards in high-temperature systems.
Outstanding Wear Protection
High film strength and anti-wear additives protect cylinder walls, bearings, rotors and vanes in both reciprocating and rotary compressor designs operating under continuous load.
Wide Temperature Performance
Gargoyle Arctic SHC synthetic formulations maintain excellent fluidity at low temperatures — critical for reliable start-up and continuous operation in industrial refrigeration and cold-store compressor systems.
