Product Description
Mobilgard 570 by ExxonMobil is a superior quality, extra high performance,
marine diesel engine cylinder oil. This bold new approach in cylinder
lubricant technology provides maximum protection from adhesive and corrosive
wear at the higher operating temperatures and pressures of today's modern
crosshead engines. The outstanding performance of Mobilgard 570 has been
demonstrated at the highest peak firing pressures and liner temperatures.
Mobilgard 570 employs additives with substantially greater thermal stability
and superior acid-corrosion protection. It has an optimum viscosity of over 20
cSt. at 100ºC and low volatility for best lubricant distribution and film
retention. Through the use of unique formulation technology, the higher
viscosity is attained with little or no use of thermally less stable,
deposit-producing bright stock. Unique technology at the 70 TBN alkalinity
level in Mobilgard 570 has demonstrated superior ring and liner protection and
cleanliness under sustained operation with fuel sulphur levels down to 1.5%,
but in some cases can be used in lower sulphur applications with the approval
of the engine manufacturer.

Applications
Mobilgard 570 has been developed for marine crosshead engines designed for
increased power and fuel efficiency. Such engines exhibit higher temperatures
and pressures in the cylinder, which reduce the lubricant's viscosity and
increase the loads which it must withstand. Longer piston strokes have greatly
increased the amount of surface to be protected and the amount of time the
lubricant must withstand the severe cylinder temperatures and corrosive
sulphur acids. Mobilgard 570 has also demonstrated superior performance in
earlier engine designs.
To ensure achieving the maximum equipment life possible, particular attention
should be paid to the manufacturer's special recommendations regarding the
running-in of new rings and liners.
Applications where the sulphur level is below 1.5% require special
consideration and should be discussed with your ExxonMobil representative.
Appropriate feed rates should be verified in all cases by through-the-ports
inspection of liners for adequate oil film.
