Manufacturer's description

Mobilgard 450 NC (No Chlorine) is a non-zinc, non-chlorine engine oil formulated with high-quality basestocks that provide low consumption, high-temperature oxidation resistance and thermal stability, combined with specially selected stable additives for well-balanced performance. Its detergent/dispersant qualities increase filter life and engine cleanliness, and its sustained high alkalinity provides excellent corrosion protection with fuels containing up to 1.5 percent sulphur, even in the presence of steel, copper, silver and bronze components. Mobilgard 450 NC is formulated for heavily loaded diesel engines built by EMD and used in marine applications, and suits other high horsepower marine diesel engines or higher BMEP engines using distillate fuels up to 1.5 percent sulphur, including drilling rigs and stationary power generation. It is approved by EMD and recommended for engines from Alco, Detroit Diesel (API CF-2) and Fairbanks Morse, meeting the requirements of an SAE 40 grade marine diesel engine oil wherever API CF and/or CF-2 performance is specified; the absence of chlorine also offers easier, lower-cost waste-oil disposal. Benefits include high thermal and oxidation stability that protects against sludge in intermittent marine service, effective anti-wear and load-carrying properties, high TBN with outstanding retention to neutralise combustion acids, excellent detergency/dispersancy to control deposits and varnish, a zinc-free formulation that protects silver bearings, and excellent water tolerance and separation.

Applications

• Mobilgard 450 NC engine oil has been specifically formulated to meet the requirements of heavily loaded diesel engines manufactured by EMD and used in marine applications.
• It is suitable for other high-horsepower marine diesel engines, or those with higher brake mean effective pressure (BMEP), using distillate fuels with a sulphur content up to 1.5%.
• It also lubricates such engines in drilling rigs and stationary power-generation service.
• Mobilgard 450 NC has been approved by EMD and is recommended for diesel engines manufactured by Alco, Detroit Diesel (API CF-2) and Fairbanks Morse.
• Mobilgard 450 NC engine oil meets the requirements of an SAE 40-grade marine diesel engine oil and is suitable wherever API CF and/or CF-2 performance is specified.
• It has quality recognition by EMD and excellent DD6V92 TA test results.
• The absence of chlorine in Mobilgard 450 NC offers easier disposal.
• Waste-oil disposal costs of chlorine-containing lubricants are generally higher than those without.

Performance & benefits

• High thermal and oxidation stability: protects against sludge formation in intermittent marine service, providing cleaner, smoother-running engines.
• Effective anti-wear and load-carrying properties: protects critical wear surfaces and extends engine life.
• High TBN and outstanding TBN retention: controls deposits and neutralises acids produced in the combustion process.
• Excellent detergency/dispersancy: controls carbon deposits and varnish formation, which can extend oil and filter life.
• Zinc-free: protects silver bearings.
• Excellent water tolerance and separation: can handle water contamination without additive depletion.
