Mobilgard™ 300 C — Next-Generation System Oil | Two-Stroke Crosshead Engines

Mobilgard™ 300 C — Next-Generation System Oil | Two-Stroke Crosshead Engines

ExxonMobil · Mobilgard™ Marine · Genuine Mobil Lubricants Distributor — South Africa

Mobilgard™ 300 C is a next-generation SAE 30 system oil specially engineered to improve cleanliness in two-stroke crosshead diesel engines — addressing the piston undercrown and crankcase deposit build-up that is a key maintenance challenge in slow-speed crosshead engines. With a 9 BN low-ash formulation, balanced to combat deposits and sludge in the most susceptible engine components without causing over-alkalisation, Mobilgard 300 C represents a significant advance over conventional system oils. Available through Orbit Industrial — Genuine Mobil Lubricants Distributor, South Africa.

Features & Benefits

Improved Piston Undercrown Cleanliness

Specifically engineered to combat the piston undercrown deposits and sludge build-up that are a primary cause of heat transfer loss and hot corrosion in two-stroke crosshead engines — reducing the cleaning requirements and inspection frequency of undercrown areas.

Improved Crankcase Cleanliness

Balanced formulation combats crankcase sludge and varnish formation — keeping crankcase, main bearings, crosshead bearings and camshaft areas clean for extended periods between planned maintenance interventions.

Next-Generation System Oil Formulation

Advances beyond conventional system oil formulations — addressing the specific cleanliness challenges identified in modern slow-speed two-stroke engines through ExxonMobil's extensive marine engine research programme.

Low 9 BN — Compatible with Low-Sulphur Fuels

Low TBN system oil appropriate for crosshead engines where the cylinder oil provides the bulk of acid neutralisation — avoids the over-alkalisation of crankcase oil that can occur when high-BN system oils are used with low-sulphur fuel operating regimes.

Recommended Applications

Important: Mobilgard 300 C is a system oil for two-stroke crosshead engines — used in the crankcase and system oil circuit. It is not a cylinder oil and is used separately from the cylinder lubricator system fed by products such as Mobilgard 570 or Mobilgard 540.

Deep-Sea Vessel Crosshead Engines

System oil circuit of two-stroke slow-speed crosshead engines on bulk carriers, tankers and container ships — where improved crankcase and undercrown cleanliness reduces maintenance costs and unplanned downtime.

MAN ES & WinGD Engines

MAN ES and WinGD two-stroke crosshead engines — the dominant engine types in the deep-sea shipping fleet calling at South African ports.

Vessels with Deposit Challenges

Vessels where conventional system oils have not provided adequate control of piston undercrown and crankcase deposits — Mobilgard 300 C's next-generation formulation specifically targets these problem areas.
