A scheduled maintenance programme is essential to support the smooth running of your gas engines.
Replacing consumables, such as oil and filters, typically occurs every 1,000 – 2,000 operational hours, depending on engine type and fuel quality. Using a high performance synthetic lubricant, such as Mobil SHC Pegasus™, can help extend oil and filter life, reducing maintenance downtime and used oil disposal costs.

A scheduled maintenance programme is essential to support the smooth running of your gas engines.
A common cause of unscheduled maintenance is fuel gas quality – natural gas is cleaner and less challenging than landfill or biogas. It is therefore important to ensure that maintenance periods are more frequent if poor quality gas is being consumed.

ExxonMobil’s Mobil Serv℠ Lubricant Analysis (MSLA) service is a fast, intuitive used oil analysis tool designed to save time and money by helping safeguard equipment efficiency. Its findings can help:
- Increase productivity
- Decrease unscheduled downtime
- Improve equipment reliability
- Reduce lubricant consumption
MSLA is backed up by ExxonMobil’s extensive lubricant knowledge, which enables the company to produce precise analysis and deliver detailed, actionable recommendations.
When lubricants aren’t handled and stored properly, they can deteriorate or become contaminated. This can lead to inadequate lubrication or become waste. In contrast, by taking a best practice approach you can optimise engine performance.
Good storage and handling practice includes correct unloading procedures and use of a single, designated storage area. Storage should be away from heaters, cold areas, moisture, dust and areas of varying temperature cycles.
