ExxonMobil has developed the new 20BN engine oil Mobilgard M420. It is designed for medium speed engines using fuels that[ds_preview] comply with the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) global 0.5 % sulphur cap. With the marine fuel landscape changing in the lead up to 2020, Mobilgard M420 has been formulated for use on vessels running on 0.50% or 0.10% sulphur fuels, with deliveries expected to start during August 2019. The product, which has received No Objection Letters from both MAN ES and Wärtsilä, is also proven for use with liquefied natural gas (LNG) due to its low BN formulation. The new lubricant builds on the Mobilgard M Series, which is designed for performance in medium-speed marine engines, even under severe conditions.
