Extended Drain Intervals

RPVOT 2,500 minutes and TOST 10,000+ hours — outstanding oxidation resistance enabling significantly longer drain intervals than mineral Mobilgear 600 XP 220. Critical for continuous-operation conveyor drives, processing plant gearboxes and any equipment where oil changes cause production downtime.

Superior EP & Bearing Protection

FZG scuffing Stage 13+ and FE8 roller wear of 2 mg — strong protection against gear scuffing and bearing wear under sustained high loads. Particularly valuable in processing plant gearboxes running continuous shifts under elevated torque.

Wide Temperature Range

Viscosity index of 169 and pour point of -48°C — superior to mineral gear oils at this grade. Maintains stable viscosity from cold overnight startups through to elevated operating temperatures in high-ambient mining environments.

Gas Compressor Capability

Approved for oil-flooded rotary screw compressors compressing natural gas, field gas, CO2 and other process gases. Allows operations with both gearboxes and gas compressors to consolidate to a single ISO VG 220 synthetic lubricant across equipment types.

Energy Efficiency

Low traction coefficient of the PAO base reduces fluid friction in gear contacts and rolling element bearings — up to 3.6% energy efficiency improvement vs mineral equivalents in controlled testing. Meaningful savings across large gearbox fleets running extended shift cycles.

Shear Stability & Seal Compatibility

Virtually no viscosity loss under mechanical shear in heavily loaded gear and bearing applications. Compatible with most NBR, FKM and other elastomeric seal materials — maintains seal integrity and prevents lubricant leakage across extended service intervals.

Mining & Processing Plants

Conveyor head drives running extended shifts where drain interval reduction is a target · Processing plant enclosed gearboxes under continuous load · Agitator and mixer drives · Screen drives · Flender and SEW gearboxes in high-temperature environments where mineral oil life is limiting

Gas Compressors

Oil-flooded rotary screw compressors compressing natural gas · Field gas gathering applications · CO2 compression · Other process gas applications — enables lubricant consolidation at ISO VG 220 across gearboxes and compressors on the same site

Extended Drain Applications

Any ISO VG 220 gearbox application where the target is to extend drain intervals beyond what mineral Mobilgear 600 XP 220 can support — particularly inaccessible or elevated gearboxes, filled-for-life drives, and equipment where each oil change requires extended production shutdown

Remote & Temperature-Critical Applications

Remote mining sites with cold overnight temperatures where mineral ISO VG 220 may struggle at startup · High-altitude processing plants with large temperature variation · Applications in the Northern Cape where summer ambient temperatures push gearbox sump temperatures above mineral oil limits
