Product Description
Mobilgard 300 by ExxonMobil is a premium quality, extra high performance
system oil designed for crosshead diesel engines. High quality paraffinic base
oils along with a balanced additive system provide excellent protection even
for the severe operating conditions of the latest design, high-output
crosshead marine diesel engines. This product has sufficient alkalinity to
neutralise any strong acids which may find their way into the crankcase from
the combustion of fuel sulphur, and it has enhanced load carrying ability in
order to reduce wear in heavily loaded bearings.
Features and Benefits
Mobilgard 300 is formulated from high quality paraffinic base oils that have
excellent thermal stability and oxidation resistance. These base oil
characteristics are augmented with a balanced additive system that includes
special high temperature oxidation inhibitors, alkaline detergents, a load
carrying component and defoamant. The formulation has maximum antiwear
properties, good rust protection in the presence of salt water, and excellent
water separation characteristics.
When used as recommended in crosshead type diesel engines, Mobilgard 300
system oil offers the following features and potential benefits:

Applications
Mobilgard 300 is recommended primarily for use as system oil in late model,
high-output, crosshead diesel engines, especially those engines employing the
system oil for piston cooling. It will prevent or reduce deposit formation in
the piston cooling spaces, thus maintaining piston cooling efficiency and
reducing the incidence of piston top burning and piston crown cracking. It
will also prevent or reduce crankcase deposits and will provide outstanding
protection for heavily loaded bearings. Its reserve alkalinity allows for the
burning of high sulphur fuel. Good rust prevention and water separation
characteristics make Mobilgard 300 an excellent system oil in older design
crosshead diesel engines which have water-cooled pistons and where crankcase
deposits can be a problem with lower-quality system oils.
