Mobil™ grease solutions drive equipment efficiency across South Africa’s industries

SOUTH AFRICA – Across South Africa, industries that rely on heavy machinery are turning to Mobil™ greases, supplied by AG Lubricants, to keep their equipment running smoothly and avoid breakdowns.

From mining and food processing to energy generation and transport, AG Lubricants continues to support businesses with lubrication products that reduce friction, resist wear, and perform under pressure.

Each product in the Mobil™ range is designed with specific equipment needs in mind, with strong focus on reliability, safety, and operational continuity.

“Mobil™ greases are the result of world-class engineering,” said Johan Nell, Lubrication Engineer at AG Lubricants.

“However, equally important is understanding the science behind them in terms of composition, how they perform, and why it matters to your equipment’s reliability and lifespan.”

Mobil™ greases consist of base oils, thickeners, and performance additives. The base oils, making up most of the product, help reduce friction.

The thickeners hold the oil in place and influence how well the grease handles heat, water, and pressure. Additives enhance specific performance aspects like corrosion resistance and oxidation control.

AG Lubricants offers a wide selection from the Mobil™ range, each suited for different uses. Lithium complex greases, such as those in the Mobilgrease XHP Series, work well in high-pressure and high-temperature environments. They are often used in trucks, farm machinery, and construction equipment.

For electric motors, where noise reduction and temperature control are important, polyurea-based greases like Mobil Polyrex EM are a solid choice.

In sectors where exposure to water and rust is common, such as marine, pulp and paper, and mining, calcium sulphonate greases like Mobilgrease XHP 681 Mine provide strong protection.

AG Lubricants does more than supply grease. It also offers support services that help businesses protect their machines and plan better.

These include used grease analysis, technical consultations, and condition monitoring. This approach helps clients manage maintenance costs and reduce machine failures.

“Choosing the right grease is not just about performance, it is about total lifecycle value,” said Nell.

“When paired with our technical expertise and on-site support, the Mobil™ range helps customers increase productivity, avoid costly failures, and extend the life of their critical assets.”

The full Mobil™ grease line now includes products for almost every industrial setting. Mobilgear OGL 009 handles dusty and high-load sites like cement and mining operations.

Mobilgrease FM 222 meets food-grade standards for safe use in food and beverage processing. Mobilith SHC Series offers synthetic grease options for extreme conditions like wind turbines and steel production.

Other standout options include Mobiltemp SHC 100 for high heat, Mobiltac 375 NC for exposed slow-speed bearings, and Mobilgrease XTC, which supports high-speed coupling systems.

For companies seeking a flexible and cost-conscious solution, the Mobilux EP Series delivers dependable general-use performance.

AG Lubricants continues to serve key industries such as mining, energy, transport, agriculture, and manufacturing with the full Mobil™ grease range and expert guidance.

By matching each grease to the right task and offering on-the-ground technical help, AG Lubricants remains a trusted partner to South African industry.
