Exxonmobil has brought out the Mobil SHC Pegasus oils, which maximise natural-gas engine-component reliability, but with additional energy-efficiency opportunities. Developed for optimum engine protection in natural-gas engines, Mobil SHC Pegasus oils exhibited average energy savings of up to 1.5 per cent in independent university laboratory testing and statistically validated field tests.The energy savings will also result in an equivalent reduction of CO2 emissions from gas engines operating with Mobil SHC Pegasus. The Mobil SHC Pegasus formulation delivers the potential for reduced fuel consumption, increased oil-drain intervals and exceptional engine cleanliness and component protection. Controlled field testing in demanding gas-compression applications has indicated that Mobil SHC Pegasus drain intervals can exceed 12,000 hours, or three to four times that of standard natural-gas engine oils.
Extending oil-drain intervals can help reduce the amount of downtime the engine experiences and reduce the amount of waste-oil generated. The Mobil SHC Pegasus oils improve engine reliability, extend oil life-time and reduce maintenance and fuel costs. Mobil SHC Pegasus oils will be introduced in 2010.
