Mobil Delvac 1300 Super - A Simple Solution for a Diverse Fleet


“We have more than 130 vehicles and pieces of heavy equipment in our fleet that must be ready to roll on a moments notice,”  said Ted Price, Director of Fleet Maintenance for Union Power Cooperative.

 

Yes, for more than 25 years, the entire service fleet at Union Power has relied on Mobil Delvac 1300 Super 15W-40 heavy duty diesel engine oil. In that time, “we have never experienced equipment failure due to engine problems or oil consumption,” Price said.  “To realize how impressive that is, you have to remember that our trucks and equipment often run idle for several hours and are also exposed to extreme operating conditions when hydraulic lifts and drilling equipment are in use in the field.”

“Mobil Delvac 1300 Super is formulated to provide outstanding levels of protection for all diesel engines across a broad range of on-highway and off-highway applications,” said Yeong Kwon,product offer advisor, commercial vehicle lubricants, ExxonMobil Lubricants & Specialties.

“Mobil Delvac can help deliver performance beyond the boundaries of conventional oils because its formulation includes Trimer Core chemistry – a powerful additive technology that resists oil degradation, reduces sludge build up and prevents wear, ultimately extending drain intervals and engine life.” Some fleet maintenance managers think working with premium oils means high tech or complex maintenance programs, however, that is not the case. "We stick with a basic oil drain interval of 250 hours on every piece of equipment in our fleet," said Price."It's that simple." To help enhance fleet performance and keep up with the latest trends in engine design and lubrication technology, Union Power has, for more than 11 years, turned to Mobil lubricants.

Mobil DTE 10 Excel 32 Helps Improve Hydraulic System Reliability


Mobil DTE 10 Excel 32 Helps Improve Hydraulic System Reliability and Saves Over $43,000 Annually in a Caterpillar 992G Large Wheel Loader at a Taconite Mining Operation in Minnesota.

Mobil DTE 10 Excel 32 helped a mining operation reduce cold weather hydraulic system shutdowns by 75 percent, extend oil drain intervals from 2,000 hours to 8,000 hours and double the life of the pumps. During Minnesota’s winter months, ambient temperatures can reach -40°F and lower in taconite mining pits. The cooling circuits on the mining operation’s large wheel loader didn’t function adequately at these extreme cold temperatures, causing the Caterpillar 992G’s hydraulic system to shut down. Upon evaluation, the ExxonMobil engineer recommended Mobil DTE 10 Excel 32, a hydraulic oil for piston, vane and gear pumps that flows in -30°F temperatures and helps provide long oil and equipment life. As a result, the mining operation improved productivity and saved $43,976 annually.

Announcing 2010 Diesel Exhaust Fluid


Suburban Oil Company has added BlueDEF Diesel Exhaust Fluid to our inventory for immediate distribution to our network of customers.  BlueDEF is certified by the American Petroleum Institute for medium-duty and heavy-duty trucks to meet EPA 2010 diesel engine requirements.

Diesel exhaust fluid is one of the key elements of the Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) process used by most medium and heavy-duty engine builders to meet EPA 2010 regulation.
 
BlueDEF is a nontoxic solution of 67.5% purified water and 32.5% ultra pure automotive grade urea.  BlueDEF is not a fuel or fuel additive.  Instead, when injected into the exhaust stream and passed over a catalyst, BlueDEF helps convert NOx into nitrogen gas and water vapor - two harmless and natural components of the air we breathe.
 
BlueDEF is stable, colorless and odorless, and meets ISO Standards 22241 for purity and composition and is an American Petroleum Institute (API) certified diesel exhaust fluid.  These are the highest quality and safety standards in place to ensure optimum SCR performance.
 
Making sure you do not run out of BlueDEF in a SCR equipped truck is simple, watch the Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) gauge, which is part of the diesel fuel gauge, for when it is time to refill.
 
DEF is stored in a dedicated tank next to the fuel tank on the driver's side.  The tanks range in size from 6 to 23 gallons depending on the truck's application.  The DEF tank fill opening is designed to accommodate a DEF fill nozzle to ensure only DEF is put into the tank.  A diesel fuel nozzle will not fit into the DEF tank opening.
 
How much DEF will my truck use?
One gallon of BlueDEF is used approximately every 300 miles.  A truck with a 20 gallon DEF tank can go up to 6,000 miles between fill-ups.
 
Will a truck quit if it runs out of DEF?
No.  An engine will not be shut down or be unable to restart as a result of running out of BlueDEF.  However, if the DEF tank is empty, engine horsepower will de-rate and BlueDEF should be added to the tank.
 
Will DEF freeze in cold weather?
BlueDEF begins freezing at 12 degrees Fahrenheit.  If DEF freezes, the engine will start and run properly (no de-rate or malfunctioning lights).  A DEF tank heater will thaw the fluid for use and at no point will this affect the operation of the engine.

Mobil introduces SHC Cibus food-grade synthetic lubricants


Suburban Oil is proud to announce the introduction of the Mobil SHC Cibus Series, an outstanding new line of synthetic lubricants for the food and beverage industry.  The Mobil SHC Cibus products are NSF H1 registered and compliant with U.S. Food and Drug Administration Title 21 CFR 178.3570 for lubricants with incidental food contact. Mobil SHC Cibus products also carry Kosher and Halal certifications.

The products meet the most rigorous performance requirements of a range of component manufacturers using various multi-metallurgy designs. This allows this single product series to effectively lubricate many different types of equipment as detailed on the product data sheet. Because they offer both productivity and NSF H1 registration benefits, the Mobil SHC Cibus products can be used both above and below the processing line to reduce inventory costs and reduce the risks of non H1 registered lubricants being dispensed in high contamination risk areas.

Features and Benefits

Mobil SHC Cibus Series oils offer the following features and potential benefits:

• Extended equipment life -- High load-carrying capability and protection against rust and corrosion, combined with balanced foam control and air release, can minimize equipment failures and provide the potential to improve productivity.

• Wide operating temperature range -- Provides optimal lubrication at extreme temperatures, from freezer applications to high-temperature ovens.

• Lower energy costs -- Unique high-performance basestocks and additives provide outstanding traction properties. Low internal fluid friction helps reduce oil temperature, offering potential energy savings.

• Longer oil life -- Mobil SHC Cibus Series synthetic lubricants can last up to 2 times longer than mineral oils in proprietary rig testing. Of course, oil life in service will depend on the specific operating conditions.

 

For more details about Mobil SHC Cibus, please contact us today.
