Mobilgrease XHP™ 222 helps transportation company extend re-grease intervals*

Situation

Tractocarga, a Colombian transportation company, operates a vast fleet of Kenworth, Chevrolet and Ford vehicles. The company was using a standard lithium grease on the trucks’ chassis, and had to set relubrication intervals for every 3,500 km (2,174 mi). In an effort to enhance operational efficiency, Tractocarga approached Lubricantes de la Sabana, an authorized ExxonMobil distributor, for an alternative grease solution capable of maintaining longer drain intervals and preventing equipment downtime.

Recommendation

Lubricantes de la Sabana recommended changing the fleet to Mobilgrease XHP™ 222 grease for its excellent high-temperature performance, superb adhesion, structural stability and resistance to water contamination. Engineers also recommended implementing regularly scheduled inspections to determine an appropriate grease change period.

Result

According to Tractocarga,Mobilgrease XHP 222 extended service grease has helped extend grease intervals from 3,500 km (2,174 mi) to 9,400 km (5,841 mi). This has helped reduce equipment downtime and maintenance. In addition, Mobilgrease XHP 222 grease has helped prolong equipment life and reduce grease consumption.
