Product Description
DISCONTINUED - The recommended replacement is Mobil Delvac Synthetic
Transmission Fluid 50.
Mobiltrans SHC 50 is a fully
synthetic, manual transmission lubricant engineered to meet the most demanding
extended drain and OEM warranty requirements. It is recommended for year-round
lubrication of manual transmissions in light to severe duty on- and
off-highway equipment operating in a wide range of environments. Designed to
provide maximum protection to heavy duty transmissions, Mobiltrans SHC 50
provides significant advantages over conventional sulphur-phosphorus gear
oils, including outstanding high-temperature performance, oxidation
stability, wear protection, and corrosion control.
The
ability of Mobiltrans SHC 50 to extend component life is unequalled. It has
the same viscosity as most SAE 50 engine oils and SAE 90 gear lubricants at
the high end of the temperature-viscosity scale, and because of its inherently
high viscosity index, it provides stronger film strength at higher
temperatures than conventional oils. Mobiltrans SHC 50 also ensures effective
lubrication at below freezing temperatures without channelling.
The outstanding performance of this product is confirmed by its approval for
heavy-duty transmissions covered by Eaton Roadranger and ArvinMeritor Extended
Warranties of 750,000 miles, with oil drains of 500,000 miles. It is also
approved by Mack against its TO-A Plus 500,000 mile extended service
classification. Mobiltrans SHC 50 meets the API service MT-1 EP gear oil
service classification and is suitable for transmissions and gear cases where
API Service GL-1 through GL-4 gear protection is required.
Features and Benefits
The performance capabilities of today's heavy-duty on- and off-highway
equipment have vastly improved in terms of load, speed, control, and
reliability through innovative powertrain designs. These designs have markedly
increased the demands on transmission lubricants, requiring them to deliver
higher levels of performance while extending drains. For heavy-duty
transmissions, friction control, wear protection, thermal stability, shear
stability, rust and corrosion protection, and seal protection are features
that must be balanced to provide extended gear and synchroniser life, smooth
shift control, improved efficiency, and higher load capability over a wide
range of applications and operating environments. Mobiltrans SHC 50 delivers
unequalled performance in today's manual transmissions. The key benefits
include:
