Mobilgear SHC MT 68

Mobilgear SHC MT 68, a premium performance, fully synthetic marine gear oil is designed to provide optimum equipment protection and oil life even under extreme conditions. Polyalphaolefin (PAO) technology has been selected for its exceptional oxidation resistance and thermal properties, naturally high viscosity index, excellent low temperature fluidity and absence of undesirable compounds that are often found in mineral oils. The high viscosity index and low traction coefficient of this oil combine to provide a potential reduction in power consumption in many gear drives. Mobilgear SHC MT 68 contains an advanced and carefully blended proprietary additive system designed to provide excellent protection against conventional wear modes such as scuffing but also provides a high level of resistance against micropitting fatigue.

Mobilgear SHC MT 68 exceeds the industry requirement for bearing wear protection as measured by the industry standard FAG FE 8 test. Mobilgear SHC MT 68 's balanced formulation is able to provide maximum wear and corrosion protection while maintaining compatibility with industry standard gearbox seal materials. In addition, compared to conventional gear oil chemistries, it offers the potential for improved lubrication of gearbox rolling element bearings. Mobilgear SHC MT 68 offers outstanding rust and corrosion protection versus conventional gear oils, including seawater and acidic water protection. It shows no tendency to plug fine filters even when wet and have excellent compatibility with ferrous and non-ferrous metals even at elevated temperatures.

Mobilgear SHC MT 68 is recommended for enclosed marine gear drives including steel-on-steel spur, helical, and bevel gears. The product was designed for heavy duty marine thruster gear applications. It may also be used in gear applications where extreme low and/or high temperatures are encountered and applications where corrosion may be severe. Mobilgear SHC MT 68 enjoys a growing reputation among marine customers and OEMs around the world.
