Mobil SHC 600 Series: Supreme Performance Gear and Bearing Oils
The Mobil SHC 600 Series products have low traction coefficients, which derive from the molecular structure of
the base stocks used. This results in low fluid friction in the load zone of non-conforming surfaces such as gears
and rolling contact bearings. Low fluid friction produces lower operating temperatures and improved gear
efficiency, which translates into reduced power consumption. It also results in extended parts life and allows for
more economical equipment design. The base oils used in the Mobil SHC 600 Series have outstanding response
to antioxidant additives resulting in superior resistance to oxidation and sludging, especially at high temperatures.
The additive combination used in these oils also provides exceptional resistance to rusting and corrosion, very
good antiwear, demulsibility, foam control and air release properties, as well as multimetal compatibility. The
Mobil SHC 600 Series oils are also compatible with the same seal and other construction materials used in
equipment normally lubricated with mineral oils.
The leading edge technology on which Mobil SHC 600 Series lubricants have always been based has made
these the products of choice for operators of a wide range of equipment, worldwide. While initially recognized
as a high temperature problem solver, these products are now used in many industrial applications because of
the range of benefits they offer.
Our work with equipment builders has helped confirm the results from our own laboratory tests showing the
exceptional performance of the Mobil SHC 600 Series lubricants. Not least among the benefits, shown in work
with OEMs, is the potential for significant efficiency improvements in changing from mineral oil. These benefits
are particularly evident in equipment which, by design, cannot avoid low overall efficiency, such as high ratio
worm gears.
To combat high thermal exposure of the oil, our product formulation scientists chose select base oils for Mobil
SHC 600 Series oils because of their exceptional thermal/oxidative resistance potential. Our formulators chose

specific additives which would maximize the benefits of the base oils to provide excellent oil life and deposit
control and resistance to thermal/oxidative and chemical degradation. This formulation approach provides low
temperature fluidity characteristics unmatched by mineral products and is a key benefit for remote, low ambient
temperature applications. The Mobil SHC 600 Series oils offer the following features and potential benefits:
Applications
While Mobil SHC 600 Series are compatible with mineral oil based products, admixture may detract from their
performance. Consequently it is recommended that before changing a system to one of the Mobil SHC 600
Series, it should be thoroughly cleaned out and flushed to achieve the maximum performance benefits. The
Mobil SHC 600 Series oils are compatible with the following seal materials: fluorocarbon, polyacrylate,
polyurethane ether, some silicone, ethylene/acrylic, chlorinated polyethylene, polysulfide, and some nitrile
rubbers. There is the potential for substantial variations in the elastomers being used today. For best results,
consult your equipment supplier, seal manufacturer, or your local Mobil representative to verify compatibility.
Mobil SHC 600 Series lubricants are recommended for use in a wide variety of gear and bearing applications
where high or low temperatures are encountered or where operating temperatures or bulk oil temperatures are
such that conventional lubricants give unsatisfactory life, or where improved efficiency is needed. They are
particularly effective in applications where the maintenance costs of component replacement, system cleaning
and lubricant changes are high. Specific applications include:
• Filled for life gearboxes, especially high ratio/ low-efficiency worm gears
• Remotely located gearboxes, where oil change-out is difficult
• Low temperature applications, such as ski lifts where seasonal oil changes can be avoided
• Mixer roll bearings and roll neck bearings where high temperatures are encountered

• Plastic calendars
• Severe centrifuge applications, including marine centrifuges
• Railroad A/C Traction Drives
• Mobil SHC 625*, 627, 629 and 630 are suitable for Oil Flooded Rotary Screw Compressors compressing
natural gas, field gas gathering, CO2 and other process gasses used in the natural gas industry
