Mobil Pegasus™ 805 gas engine oil helps reduce downtime and increase productivity*

Situation

An oil company installed a Waukesha L7042 and two Waukesha 5790 GSI Series gas engines for gas compression and injection. These heavy-duty gas engines operate continuously, 24/7, in a very difficult environment. The oil company wanted to optimize their lubricant consumption by increasing oil drain intervals, thereby decreasing downtime and increasing productivity.

Recommendation

ExxonMobil engineers offered Mobil Pegasus™ 805 gas engine oil, which is also approved by Waukesha, to replace the competitive gas engine oil. Mobil Pegasus™ 805 oil provides exceptional oxidation and nitration stability, corrosion protection and thermal stability.

Result

Following the changeover, Mobil Serv^SM Lubricant Analysis results documented the following benefits with the Mobil Pegasus™ 805 oil:

• Extended oil drain intervals from 750 to 1,500 hours*
• Kept cylinder heads clean
• Maintained valve seats clean with proper clearance
• Reduction in filter consumption
• Reduction in downtime and increase in productivity
• Average annual savings per engine totals US $41,519:
  - Oil savings: US $1,226
  - Filter savings: US $1,693
  - Productivity savings: US $38,598
