Mobil Pegasus—Making Your Gas Combustion Engine Fly
The internal combustion engine is arguably one of humanity’s greatest achievements.
It transformed the modern transportation system to make rapid travel—by air and roadways—accessible to everyone. This, in turn, spurred the growth of world trade, international migration, and globalization.
But this groundbreaking technology didn’t stagnate. It continued to evolve with the introduction of fuel injection, turbocharging, rotary engines, cylinder deactivation, and compression ratios. And today, mechanics and engineers still seek new ways to make the gas engine, even more efficient, powerful, and sustainable.
For instance, Mobil Pegasus’ high-performance motor oils are specially formulated to make gas engines fly. Here’s how.
What Are Gas Engine Lubricants?
Engine lubricant, also known as motor oil, is an essential substance used to lubricate internal combustion engines.
The petroleum engine is composed of dozens of rapidly moving parts. As the engine operates, these parts are prone to heat up and grind against one another, which can cause engine wear and damage.
Motor oil lubricates these moving parts, helping to reduce friction, which keeps the engine running smoothly in addition to:
- Cleaning the engine from varnish and sludge
- Neutralizing acids
- Improving piston ring sealing
- Cooling the engine
What’s In Motor Oil?
The answer to this depends on the brand and the specific application for that lubricant. That said, motor oil typically consists of base oils, which are enhanced with several additives, including:
- Antiwear additives
- Dispersants
- Detergents
- Viscosity index improvers
- Corrosion and oxidation inhibitors
Regardless, motor oil requires frequent oil changes to prevent grime and sludge accumulation. Dirty oil can seriously damage an engine and its many parts.
Why Mobil Pegasus?
Mobil is the global leader in stationary gas engine lubrication. For four decades, the Mobil Pegasus Series of industrial engine lubricants has been formulated to be a leading-edge technology that optimizes engine life and reduces maintenance costs.
Standout product lines include Mobil Pegasus 1, Mobil Pegasus 1000 Series, Mobil Pegasus 800 Series, and Mobil Pegasus 600 Series.
Mobil Pegasus 1
A synthetic natural gas engine oil, Pegasus 1 features:
- Extended oil life capability
- Keep-clean technology
- Low oil consumption
- Exceptional wear protection
- Superior low-temperature performance.
This proprietary formulation offers performance capabilities that exceed conventional gas engine oils. It minimizes ash deposits, liner scuffing, valve seat and face wear, and piston land and ring belt deposits.
Finally, cold start-up properties ensure that the engine will run even in subzero temperatures (-40℃).
Mobil Pegasus 1000 Series
A premium natural gas engine oil, Pegasus 1000 Series features:
- Superior oil life capability
- Outstanding keep-clean technology
- Controlled oil consumption
- Exceptional wear protection
This blend reduces oil change frequency, thus enabling lower operating costs and higher productivity. Furthermore, it reduces deposits in combustion chambers, pistons, and heat exchangers, which maximizes engine efficiency, reliability, heat production, and performance.
Mobil Pegasus 800 Series
A natural gas engine oil, Pegasus 801 is designed for 2-cycle gas engines and Pegasus 805 for 4-cycle gas engines. The 800 series features:
- Antiwear and antiscuff protection
- Oxidation and nitration resistance
- Effective corrosion protection
- Good detergent/dispersancy performance
The 800 series benefits engines by reducing component wear and scuffling of cylinder liners, which maximizes engine life and protects engine components. It also reduces upper cylinder and piston ring deposits in combustion chargers to enhance engine performance.
Mobil Pegasus 600 Series
An oil for landfill gas-fueled engines, the Pegasus 600 series features:
- Exceptional detergent/discrepancy performance
- Excellent antiwear and antiscuff protection
- High-level chemical stability and resistance to oxidation and nitration
This line of oils minimizes the negative effects of landfill gas contaminants, thus extending oil and engine component life to increase equipment reliability.
