View Product →Mobil SHC™ 600 Series — PAO Synthetic Gear & Bearing Oils
Fully synthetic PAO gear and bearing oils for demanding applications where mineral oils give unsatisfactory service life — extended drain targets, high or low temperature extremes, filled-for-life gearboxes, remote locations and gas compressor duty. Flender and SEW-Eurodrive approved across the range. FZG Stage 13+ from ISO VG 150 upwards. TOST oxidation life 10,000+ hours. Appearance: Orange.
System conversion note: Before changing a system to Mobil SHC 600, thoroughly clean and flush to achieve maximum performance benefits. SHC 600 Series oils are generally compatible with mineral oils but admixture may detract from performance. Seal compatibility: generally compatible with most NBR and FKM seal materials — consult your equipment supplier to verify before converting.

View Product →Mobilgear™ SHC Series — Fully Synthetic Industrial Gear Oils
Supreme performance fully synthetic PAO gear oils specifically formulated for enclosed industrial gear drives — engineered for micropitting resistance on case-hardened gearing, extended drain intervals and operation at elevated temperatures. The correct choice where Mobilgear SHC is specified by the gearbox OEM or where micropitting on case-hardened tooth surfaces is the limiting failure mode.
Note: Mobilgear SHC (gear-specific synthetic) and Mobil SHC 600 (gear and bearing PAO) are different product families. Both are PAO synthetic at ISO VG 220 but are not interchangeable — always confirm which series your OEM specifies.

View Product →Mobilgear 600 XP vs Mobil SHC 600 — Which is Correct?
Mobilgear™ 600 XP — Mineral EP
The correct choice for the majority of standard industrial gearbox applications in South Africa — where the gearbox is operating within normal temperature limits, oil changes are accessible and the OEM specifies a mineral EP gear oil.
Choose Mobilgear 600 XP when:
· Standard operating temperatures · Accessible oil change · OEM specifies mineral EP or CLP · Cost-effective solution for general duty gearboxes is the priority
Mobil SHC™ 600 — PAO Synthetic
The correct choice where operating conditions — extreme temperatures, remote locations, high maintenance costs, gas compressor duty or Flender/SEW specification — justify the premium of a fully synthetic product.
Choose Mobil SHC 600 when:
· Filled-for-life or remote gearbox · High ambient temperature environment · Gas compressor duty (ISO 32–220) · OEM specifically requires PAO synthetic · Flender or SEW-Eurodrive OEM approval required
