Aircraft Applications

Mobil Aviation Grease SHC 100 is designed for aviation applications requiring high- and low-temperature performance and long-life lubrication.

• Aircraft wheel bearings
• Landing gear bearings
• Landing gear slides
• Landing gear joints
• High-speed, heavy-load bearing applications
• Slower-speed, high-load aviation bearing applications

Wheel-bearing application: ExxonMobil states that Mobil Aviation Grease SHC 100 is approved as a wheel-bearing grease by all major aircraft wheel manufacturers.

Specifications and Approvals

Important: Always verify grease applicability against the applicable aircraft, wheel, landing gear, bearing or component manufacturer's maintenance documentation before use. OEM approval for a particular application does not mean the product is approved for every aircraft or component.

Temperature Performance

Mobil Aviation Grease SHC 100 provides outstanding protection over an operating temperature range of approximately -65°F to 350°F (-54°C to 177°C).

The synthetic, wax-free PAO base oil provides good low-temperature mobility and helps reduce starting and running torque, while the grease formulation provides protection against high-temperature degradation.

Typical Physical Properties

The following values are typical properties published by ExxonMobil for Mobil Aviation Grease SHC 100. They are provided for technical reference and should not be interpreted as guaranteed shipment specifications.

Water and Environmental Resistance

Mobil Aviation Grease SHC 100 provides outstanding structural stability in the presence of water and is formulated to retain lubrication and component protection in adverse weather and wet operating environments.

Wear, Rust and Corrosion Protection

The synthetic base oil and lithium-complex thickener system provide protection against wear, rust and corrosion while maintaining grease structure under demanding aviation bearing conditions. ExxonMobil's published testing shows passing results for both copper strip corrosion and rust protection.

Packaging and Shelf Life

Storage: ExxonMobil recommends storing aviation greases indoors in a dry, cool and clean environment. Normal storage temperatures should be approximately 32°F to 104°F (0°C to 40°C). Once a container is opened, the grease should be used as soon as possible; the stated shelf-life recommendation no longer applies after opening.
