Product Description
Mobil Pegasus 605 is a high performance natural gas engine oil primarily
intended for the lubrication of modern medium and high-speed four-cycle
engines operating on fuel that contains corrosive materials such as hydrogen
sulphide or halogens (compounds containing chlorine, fluorine, etc.). These
engines are generally of the lean-burn design where increased manifold
pressures prevent sufficient lubricant from reaching the valve guide areas
resulting in low oil consumption which can lead to valve guide wear and valve
recession. This effect also increases the potential for wear and acid attack
of upper cylinder components from the corrosive materials generated during
combustion. The Mobil Pegasus 605 is a 0.5% ash gas engine oil with
exceptional reserve alkalinity designed to offset the negative effects of
acidic materials on engine components. The excellent corrosion protection
properties helps prevent corrosive wear in cylinders, valve areas and bearings
which can result in longer engine life and lower maintenance costs. Mobil
Pegasus 605 provides excellent anti-wear and anti-scuff performance which
helps assure minimal piston scuffing, scoring and low cylinder liner and
piston ring wear. Mobil Pegasus 605 also exhibits excellent deposit control
and prevents siloxane deposits and liner laquering in bio-fuel and landfill
gas applications with high silicon content. The prevention of these deposits
is key to maintaining effective control of lube oil consumption. This oil can
be used for the lubrication of the reciprocating compressors in landfill,
mine, coal seam, digester/fermenter, sewage and other biomass gas
applications that operate in a wide range of municipal, industrial,
cooperative and farm applications (i.e. electric power generation, boiler
heating, cogeneration/combined heat and power, etc).
Mobil Pegasus 605 is formulated from high quality mineral base oils combined
with an advanced technology, low ash additive system designed to provide
excellent protection of engine and compressor components. This product
exhibits a high level of chemical stability and resistance to oxidation and
nitration. Pegasus 605 offers outstanding resistance to valve train wear and
protection against deposit formation. These performance advantages combined
with the very effective detergency and dispersancy characteristics helps
control the formation of ash and carbon deposits that could result in poor
engine performance and detonation. This product also compatible for use in gas
engines equipped with catalytic converters.
Features and Benefits
Mobil Pegasus 605 Gas Engine Oil provides an additional margin of protection
in those applications using contaminated fuel. Its excellent detergent /
dispersant technology also results in cleaner engines, lower wear rates and
improved engine performance. The use of this product can result in reduced
maintenance costs and improved production capacity. Its excellent chemical and
oxidation stability can result in longer drain periods and reduced filter
costs. The high reserve alkalinity of this product allows its use in engines
operating on fuels with low to moderate amounts of corrosive materials in the
fuel gas.

Applications
Note: Engines operating on fuel gas with elevated levels of sulphur or
halogens should also have coolant (jacket water) and oil temperatures raised.
- Gas engines operating on fuel that contains moderate levels of hydrogen sulphide (H2S)
- Engines operating on fuel containing other corrosive materials such as TOHCl (Total Organic Halides as Chloride) such as landfill or biomass gas
- Spark ignited four-cycle gas engines with very low lube oil consumption
- Medium and high speed four-cycle engines equipped with catalytic converters requiring a low ash gas engine oil
- Engines experiencing valve train wear and corrosion
- Reciprocating compressors operating on natural gas that contains sulphur or chlorine compounds
- High output or naturally aspirated engines operating at or in excess of rated capacity under high temperatures
