both indicated, synthetic lubricants will in
general offer a higher level of performance
than mineral oils with respect to equipment
protection, particularly at high- and lowoperating temperatures, compressor
efficiency, and oil life.
4. For information on builder approvals for
Mobil-branded refrigeration lubricants,
please refer to Table 2 on the back page.
5. For further clarification or assistance,
please contact your local representative
or ExxonMobil technical help line.
NOTE:
a. For equipment under warranty,
please refer to equipment builder
recommendations.
b. In changing refrigeration oil technology
or brands, ensure thorough flushing of
the system to minimize contamination
with the old technology or brand.

This guide is for refrigeration lubricant selection for industrial

systems with dry type evaporators (i.e., oil carryover into evaporator
less than 15%). To select a lubricant for other types of refrigeration
systems, please contact your local representative or the ExxonMobil
technical help line for assistance.
Listed here are some of the high-performance Mobil Industrial Lubricants for refrigeration applications, each one
formulated to offer outstanding equipment protection and extended oil life. These charts will help you determine
which lubricant is most suitable for your system, based on the type of refrigerant fluid, evaporator temperature,
and compressor type. For a complete list of Mobil Industrial Lubricants, go to www.mobilindustrial.com.
