ExxonMobil Aviation recently had a ground breaking ceremony for its new blending and packaging center for synthetic aviation lubricants in Port Allen, Louisiana. This new facility, set to be operational by early 2015, will feature advanced manufacturing capabilities for the production of future jet engine oil technologies, including Mobil's newest addition, Mobil Jet Oil 387. According to ExxonMobil, the new facility demonstrates the companys continued commitment to the Aviation lubricants business and was designed to meet long term customer needs.
Designed for use in various engine technologies, Mobil Jet Oil 387 is a synthetic, high performance capability (HPC) jet turbine engine oil, formulated to exceed the industrys demanding AS SAE 5780 specification and deliver valued performance benefits, including exceptional engine cleanliness, seal compatibility and oxidative stability, as well as high-temperature fluidity.
Along with the opening of the new blending and packaging center for synthetic aviation lubricants in Port Allen, ExxonMobil Aviation celebrated the 50th anniversary of its popular Mobil Jet Oil II at its production plant in New Jersey. Introduced in 1963, Mobil Jet Oil II is a high-performance, synthetic aircraft-type gas-turbine lubricant that is formulated to handle extreme speeds and temperatures, as well as other stresses placed on airplane engines.
Today, Mobil Jet Oil II remains one of the aviation industrys most widely selected lubricant formulations, being a lubricant of choice for many airlines around the world that rely on its ability to deliver exceptional performance, outstanding component protection and count on its global supply reliability.
We are proud to celebrate this milestone and believe the aviation markets continued reliance on Mobil Jet Oil II more than 50 years after its introduction serves as a great example of how ExxonMobil Aviation continues to deliver the highest level of technology leadership and application expertise to help its customers achieve their business goals, said Frans Horjus, global aviation lubricants sales manager, ExxonMobil Fuels & Lubricants.
