Mobilgard 40 Series

Medium-Speed Engine Oils

Product Description
Mobilgard 340 and 440 are premium quality 40 TBN engine oils designed for use in the most severe residualfueled marine medium-speed diesel applications. These new marine diesel engine oils provide outstanding residual fuel compatibility characteristics for excellent engine cleanliness, especially in crankcase and camshaft areas. They provide excellent high temperature oxidation and thermal stability, low volatility, load carrying properties and corrosion protection.

Long oil life and good oil consumption control Separates easily from water

Applications
This Series of oils is the result of an extensive research and development program, incorporating Mobils exclusive RFD (Residual Fuel Detection) test. They meet the requirement of medium-speed trunk piston engines used in diesel marine power applications and main propulsion and auxiliary diesels in deep-sea and coastal vessels. Mobilgard 40 Series oils are designed to meet the needs of engines operating on heavy fuel. They are recommended for use in the latest model high power two- and four-cycle diesel engines. Mobilgard 40 Series oils are especially beneficial in engines having low crankcase oil consumption, or operating with low cylinder liner temperatures, and with fuels having high sulphur content.

Benefits
Mobilgard 40 Series oils provide the following benefits when used as recommended: Provide excellent lube/ fuel compatibility Maintain camshaft spaces and crankcase in good condition Reduce piston ring belt deposits Good TBN retention resulting in protection against corrosion and providing long oil life

Properties
Mobilgard 340 and 440 are formulated to provide excellent resistance to thermal degradation and to promote a high level of engine cleanliness with protection against wear. They have good resistance to oxidation and viscosity increases over long operating periods. Relatively high alkalinity reserves in these oils provide superior protection in neutralizing the strong acids resulting from the use of high sulphur fuels that find access to the crankcase to promote oil degradation, ring, cylinder and bearing corrosion.
