Product Description
Mobil SHC Pegasus™ is a new category of advanced technology natural gas engine oil designed to provide today’s high output, low-emission four-cycle gas engines with the highest levels of protection with the added potential benefit of fuel consumption reductions. Mobil SHC Pegasus is the latest addition to the technologically advanced line of Mobil Pegasus natural gas engine oils that offer high performance, long service life and improved productivity.
Mobil SHC Pegasus uses a patented combination of high quality base stocks and advanced additive technology to deliver exceptional oxidation stability, nitration resistance and thermal stability, which in turn provide the opportunity to extend drain intervals by up to three times that of conventional gas engine oils. The formulation of Mobil SHC Pegasus has been carefully balanced to provide outstanding anti-wear characteristics to protect heavily loaded valve train components, pistons, liners, bearings, and gear trains while maintaining compatibility with catalytic converter materials. Its detergent-dispersant system controls the formation of carbon and varnish deposits to minimize oil consumption and maintain engine cleanliness even during extended drain intervals. Extended drain intervals can translate to lower operating and maintenance costs.
Fuel can be one of the largest expenses in any application. Mobil SHC Pegasus offers the opportunity to reduce fuel consumption. Extensive and statistically validated independent laboratory testing, bench testing and field testing demonstrated that Mobil SHC Pegasus helped reduce fuel consumption by up to 1.5% compared to a standard natural gas engine oil.*
Together with ExxonMobil application and engineering expertise, Mobil SHC Pegasus can help users keep their engines running longer and cleaner with improved reliability, reduced oil consumption, and reduced fuel consumption, helping to increase productivity and reduce environmental foot print.
* – The fuel efficiency of Mobil SHC Pegasus relates solely to the fluid performance when compared to ExxonMobil’s standard SAE 40 natural gas engine oils. The technology used in Mobil SHC Pegasus demonstrated up to a 1.5% increase in fuel efficiency compared to Mobil Pegasus 1005 and 805 series when tested in standard natural gas engine applications under controlled conditions. Efficiency improvements will vary based on operating conditions. The energy efficiency claim for this product is based on test results on the use of the fluid conducted in accordance with all applicable industry standards and protocols.
