Mobilube XFD 50 and 60 are extra high performance drivetrain lubricants engineered specifically to provide optimum component life when used as recommended in Caterpillar final drives and axles. They are formulated from advanced base oils and the latest additive technology to protect bearings and gears from premature failure due to fatigue. These lubricants deliver excellent performance in heavy-duty commercial axles and final drives where extreme pressures and shock loading are expected. They provide exceptional chemical and thermal stability at elevated bulk oil temperatures generated under heavy loads and/or high ambient temperatures.
Mobilube XFD Series have been extensively field tested in Caterpillar off-highway heavy trucks and bulldozers over a wide range of ambient temperatures and operating in severe conditions with a recommended drain interval up to 4,000 hours for off-highway haulers.
Demands for higher productivity, more severe operating conditions, and larger capacity equipment put severe stress on axles and final drive components. In severe applications, TO-4 lubricants may be limited in terms of wear protection in heavily loaded final drives due to their need to also serve the frictional requirements of clutches in heavy-duty transmissions. For optimum durability and performance, Mobilube XFD gear lubricants can be relied on to maintain productivity and minimize maintenance costs between scheduled service intervals in extreme applications. The key benefits include:
Features | Advantages and Potential Benefits |
---|---|
Improved extreme pressure (EP) performance versus TO-4 fluids | Increased load and shock carrying ability with reduced premature failures and operating costs |
High oxidation and thermal stability | Longer oil life, reduced deposits, and extended component life |
Excellent protection against copper corrosion and rust | Extended component life and lower maintenance costs |
Wide temperature capability | Simplifies inventory and reduces need for seasonal change-outs |
Good compatibility with seals and conventional drive train lubricants | Reduces leakage and contamination from external sources |
Eliminates or reduces foaming | Maintains film strength for reliable wear protection |

Mobil SHC™ Grease 101 EAL and 102 EAL are superior performance greases designed specifically for applications that require environmentally sensitive lubricants. These high performance greases are biodegradable and virtually non-toxic. They are formulated from a biodegradable synthetic ester base oil, carefully chosen high performance additives and a lithium soap thickener. The wax-free nature of the synthetic base fluid, together with its low traction coefficient, provide excellent low temperature pumpability and very low starting and running torque - a significant benefit considering that many environmentally sensitive applications are outdoors.
The Mobil SHC Grease 100 EAL Series is formulated for applications where grease leakage or run out could contaminate soil, groundwater, surface water systems, or indoor plant water systems. They are recommended for plain and rolling element bearings and couplings that operate at temperatures from -40ºC to 120ºC, with appropriate adjustments to re-lubrication interval. Mobil SHC Grease 101 EAL and 102 EAL are NLGI grade 1 and 2 respectively.
The Mobil™ EAL brand of environmentally sensitive products has gained an exceptional reputation with OEMs and customers for its excellent performance. These greases provide the optimum balance between the need for environmentally friendly lubricants and the requirement for high performance lubricants for mobile and stationary mechanical equipment Mobil SHC Grease 100 EAL Series greases are compatible with the previous generation Mobilgrease EAL 100 Series.
Mobil SHC Grease 101 EAL and 102 EAL offer the following benefits:
Features | Advantages and Potential Benefits |
---|---|
Virtually non-toxic in the OECD 203 Method Aquatic Toxicity Test | Minimal effects of spills on environment |
Formulated from biodegradable synthetic ester base oil | Biodegradation of material in sensitive areas with minimal non-biodegradable residue, avoidance of costly clean-up in some jurisdictions |
Good adhesion and water resistance | Resists water washout, avoiding need for frequent re-greasing |
Excellent rust and corrosion protection | Excellent bearing protection in wet conditions, with long bearing life |
Mobil SHC Grease 101 EAL and 102 EAL are members of the Mobil family of Environmental Awareness Lubricants (EAL) and are specifically designed for applications where contamination of the environment is a risk.
