Manufacturer's description

Mobil SHC Aware Gear Oil Series is a range of high performance, anti-wear gear oils for marine applications, formulated to meet the U.S. EPA 2013 Vessel General Permit (VGP) guidelines for environmentally acceptable lubricants. Available in ISO VG 68, 100 and 150 grades, they provide excellent wear protection for gears and bearings, safeguard against rust and corrosion, and offer outstanding oxidation properties that extend oil life across a wide operating temperature range with excellent low-temperature start-up. The series is suited to marine controllable pitch propeller and thruster applications, enclosed gear drives (steel-on-steel spur, helical and bevel designs), systems requiring readily biodegradable and minimally toxic fluids, marine and mobile equipment in environmentally sensitive areas, and select stern tube applications. It carries builder approvals from Everllence Alpha Propeller systems, Lagersmit Supreme FKM-EAL lip seals, Ortlinghaus-Werke and Wärtsilä Shaft Line Solutions seals, and meets or exceeds AFNOR EU Ecolabel, AGMA 9005-F16, DIN 51517-3:2018-09, ISO L-CKC/L-CKD (ISO 12925-1:2024) and US EPA VGP:2013 requirements, depending on grade. Key benefits include outstanding load-carrying and anti-wear performance that protects against micropitting and scuffing, a shear-stable high viscosity index for protection across a wide temperature range, excellent resistance to high-temperature degradation, excellent air release versus typical mineral gear oils, and very good demulsibility with excellent seal compatibility to minimise leaks.

Applications

• • Marine controllable pitch propeller and thruster applications • Suitable for enclosed gear drives including steel-on-steel spur, helical and bevel designs • In systems where readily biodegradable and minimally toxic fluids may be required • Marine and mobile equipment operating in environmentally sensitive areas • Can be used in select Stern Tube applications

Performance & benefits

• • Meets US EPA 2013 Vessel General Permit requirements for environmentally acceptable lubricants • Outstanding load-carrying and anti-wear properties which protects system components against micropitting and scuffing and helps provide long equipment life • Shear stable high viscosity index help sustain component protection over a wide temperature • Excellent resistance to high temperatures degradation • Very good demulsibility and resistance to rust and corrosion

Standards & approvals

• EU Ecolabel

  The European Union's voluntary ecolabel, certifying that a product, including lubricants, meets reduced-environmental-impact criteria across its life cycle.

• AGMA 9005-F16

  ANSI/AGMA 9005-F16 (2016)

  The current edition of the AGMA lubrication practice for enclosed industrial gear drives, replacing the 2002 E02 edition.

• DIN 51517-3 CLP

  Industrial gear oil CLP — DIN 51517, part 3

  Part 3 of the German lubricating oil standard: class CLP, gear oils with extreme-pressure additives. It requires an FZG pass plus corrosion and ageing protection.

• ISO 12925-1 CKC

  Industrial gear lubricant - CKC — ISO 12925

  The international standard for enclosed gear drive lubricants; class CKC is the mineral oil with antioxidant, anticorrosion and antiwear additives, for moderate duty.

• ISO 12925-1 CKD

  Industrial gear lubricant CKD — ISO 12925

  Class CKD of ISO 12925-1: a gear oil with the same additive package as CKC but greater thermal stability, for gear units running hot.

• US EPA VGP

  US EPA Vessel General Permit (VGP)

  EPA permit that requires environmentally acceptable lubricants at oil-to-sea interfaces of vessels.Source
