Synthetic lubricants offer tangible benefits, improving the economics of machinery maintenance and boosting the productivity of manufacturing facilities, while helping the operating company to meet its sustainability ambitions*. For instance, long oil drain intervals extend downtime-free machine operations, so that maintenance staff are exposed less often to their machines, and oil consumption and waste oil generation are reduced. Synthetic lubricants also provide** energy efficiencies driving economic benefits in reduced power consumption and lower GHG emissions. The Field engineering services of Mobil and its Authorized Distributors offer long-term collaboration and advice on optimal applications of synthetic lubricants to achieve the benefits described.

* all the benefits described herein are in comparison with conventional mineral lubricants
** in correctly selected applications
