Mobil Equivalents — Industrial Lubricant Cross-Reference

No. We are not an authorised Mobil or ExxonMobil distributor. Mobil, Mobilgear, Mobilux, Mobilith, Mobiltherm, Velocite and DTE are trademarks of Exxon Mobil Corporation, used here only to identify products a buyer may be searching for. We are authorised distributors for Veedol, GS Caltex, Balmer Lawrie, SELCO, Ador Welding, HD Fire and Citel. If you need the genuine Mobil product, ExxonMobil publish their own authorised distributor network and that is the right route. This page exists because “what else carries the same classification” is a fair question that nobody local answers properly.

Mobil publish DTE 25 as ISO VG 46 in the Mobil DTE™ 20 Series, meeting DIN 51524-2:2006-09, with Denison HF-0, Eaton I-286-S and M-2950-S and Fives Cincinnati P-70 among its builder approvals. A like-for-like replacement has to carry DIN 51524-2 at ISO VG 46 — Veedol Avalon HLP 46, Balmerol Protomac HLP 46 and Kixx HYDRO AW 46 all do. Where it gets interesting is the builder list: if your pump warranty names Denison HF-0 or Eaton specifically, tell us at enquiry stage and we will check that approval grade by grade rather than assume it carries across.

Mobil publish the Mobilgear™ 600 XP Series in ISO VG 68 to 680 against DIN 51517-3:2018-09, ISO L-CKD (ISO 12925-1:2024) and AGMA 9005-F16, with Flender, SEW-Eurodrive, ZF and Renk approvals on various grades. At VG 220 the usual answers are Veedol Apreslube 220 and Balmerol Protomac SP 220, both mineral EP gear oils in the CLP class, plus Kixx GEAR EP 220. The Flender and SEW approvals are the part that does not automatically transfer — if your gearbox is under an OEM warranty that names one, say so and we will tell you honestly whether we can match it.

Mobil publish the Mobilux™ EP Series as lithium-thickened mineral greases in NLGI 004, 023, 0, 1, 2 and 3. At NLGI 2 the direct answers are Balmerol Liprex EP 2 and Veedol Alithex EP 2, both lithium EP greases, and Kixx GREASE EP 2. Match on four published things: thickener type, NLGI grade, base-oil viscosity at 40°C and the operating temperature range. A grease matched on NLGI number alone is not matched.

Careful here — this is the substitution people get wrong. Mobil publish the Mobilith SHC™ Series as lithium complex greases on synthetic base oils, with an operating range reaching −50°C to 150°C depending on grade. A conventional lithium mineral grease is not a like-for-like replacement no matter how well the NLGI number lines up. For genuinely synthetic high-temperature duty we would propose the SELCO SG synthetic grease range — SG-350 HT or SG-460 EP Moly depending on load and temperature. If the application is ordinary bearing duty and the synthetic was over-specified in the first place, we will say that too.

Mobil publish the Mobiltherm™ 600 Series (603 and 605) as mineral heat-transfer fluids for closed indirect systems. Veedol Therm SF and Kixx HTO are the grades we would quote against it. The figures that matter on a thermic fluid are the maximum bulk and film temperatures, not viscosity — run above the published film temperature and the fluid cracks whatever the label says. Send us your heater outlet temperature and system type and we will match on those.

Mobil publish the Mobil Velocite™ Oil Numbered Series (No. 3, 4, 6, 8 and 10) as spindle and hydraulic oils, No. 6 being the common high-speed spindle grade. Veedol Spintex is the family we would cross-refer to, with the grade chosen from your spindle speed and bearing clearance rather than from the Velocite number alone. On high-speed spindles a viscosity error of one grade is a bearing-temperature problem, so we ask for the machine and spindle rating before quoting.

For mineral oils in the same classification and viscosity grade — a DIN 51524-2 HLP 46 topped up with another DIN 51524-2 HLP 46 — mixing is normally tolerated for a top-up, though additive systems differ and no manufacturer will warrant a mixture. Two cases where the answer is a firm no: polyglycol and mineral gear oils are not intermixable at all, and synthetic lithium-complex greases should not be mixed into a conventional lithium grease. If you are changing over rather than topping up, ask us for the flush procedure — we will send it whether or not you buy the oil.

Because ISO VG is one number out of a specification sheet that usually runs to twenty. Two ISO VG 320 gear oils can be a mineral CLP oil and a polyglycol, which behave nothing alike and must never be mixed. Viscosity sets film thickness; the classification — DIN 51517-3, ISO 12925-1 CKD, DIN 51524-2, AGMA 9005 — tells you whether the additive package will survive the duty. Any cross-reference offered to you on viscosity alone, from us or anyone else, is worth exactly what you paid for it.

No. Manufacturer price lists circulated to distributor networks are confidential documents and republishing one would be wrong whoever it belonged to. Ask us to quote an alternative against your Mobil grade and we will give you our price directly, with the specification comparison alongside it.

Castrol Industrial reaches you through our group company Vasundhara Specialities Pvt Ltd, the authorised Castrol channel for Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. We name our authorisations precisely because the word gets used loosely in this market — if a supplier tells you they are authorised for a brand, it is a fair question to ask them to show you the letter.
