Manufacturer's description

Mobil DTE 10 Excel 68 is the ISO VG 68 grade of the Mobil DTE 10 Excel Series of high-performance, anti-wear hydraulic oils specifically designed for modern, high-pressure industrial and mobile equipment hydraulic systems. Built from synthetic-technology base oils and a proprietary additive package, they deliver well-balanced performance across a range of applications, with outstanding oxidation and thermal stability that supports long oil life and minimizes deposit formation in severe systems using high-pressure, high-output pumps. The series offers innovative ultra keep-clean performance that protects critical components such as tight-tolerance servo and proportional valves, plus a shear-stable, high viscosity index that supports a wide operating temperature range and outstanding air release that helps prevent cavitation damage and micro-dieseling. Its zinc-free anti-wear system protects gear, vane and piston pumps while minimizing deposits, and the product is not acutely or chronically toxic to the aquatic environment per GHS/OECD criteria. Laboratory and field testing shows Mobil DTE 10 Excel can deliver quantifiable increases in hydraulic efficiency versus other Mobil hydraulic oils, translating to reduced power consumption or increased machine output. At ISO VG 68, it has a kinematic viscosity of 66.9 mm²/s at 40 °C and 10.9 mm²/s at 100 °C, a viscosity index of 155 and a pour point of -42 °C. Approvals: Bosch Rexroth Fluid Rating List 90245, Denison HF-0/HF-1/HF-2, Eaton E-FDGN-TB002-E and Ortlinghaus-Werke GmbH ON 9.2.10 and 9.2.19. It is recommended for applications requiring Fives Cincinnati P-69, Valmet Paper RAUAH02724_02_EN_V and Voith Paper VS 108 5.3.4 2023-04 (hydraulic roll). It meets or exceeds ASTM D6158 (Class HVHP), China GB 11118.1-2011, L-HM(General), China GB 11118.1-2011, L-HM(HP), China GB 11118.1-2011, L-HV, DIN 51524-2:2017-06, DIN 51524-3:2017-06, ISO L-HM (ISO 11158:2023) and ISO L-HV (ISO 11158:2023).

Applications

• Industrial and mobile equipment hydraulic systems operating at high pressures and temperatures in critical applications.
• Hydraulic systems subject to deposit build-up, such as sophisticated Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) machines, particularly where close-clearance servo-valves are used.
• Systems where cold start-up and high operating temperatures are typical.
• Systems requiring a high degree of load-carrying capability and anti-wear protection.
• Machines employing a wide range of components using various metallurgy.

Performance & benefits

• Excellent hydraulic efficiency — potentially reduced energy consumption or increased system responsiveness.
• Ultra keep-clean performance — reduced system deposits, leading to reduced machine maintenance and increased component life.
• Shear-stable, high viscosity index — sustained component protection over a wide temperature range.
• Oxidation and thermal stability — extends fluid life even under harsh operating conditions.
