Hydraulic oil offers improved fuel efficiency and extended oil drain intervals. Mobil DTE 10 Excel can provide up to a 6% improvement in hydraulic system efficiency and a 300% increase in oil drain intervals compared to standard hydraulic oils. Field demonstration with excavator achieves up to a 6% reduction in fuel per work cycle. This state-of-the-art hydraulic oil has been proven to help mines increase productivity, reduce unscheduled downtime and improve the fuel efficiency of their machinery. 

Formulated with extensive laboratory and in-service field testing, Mobil DTE 10 Excel can help provide quantifiable increases in hydraulic efficiency compared to standard hydraulic oils. This can translate to reduced power consumption or increased machine output, resulting in monetary savings. In controlled laboratory efficiency testing, Mobil DTE 10 Excel was measured to provide up to a 6% improvement in hydraulic pump efficiency compared to ExxonMobil’s standard hydraulic fluid, Mobil DTE 20, when operating in typical hydraulic applications.

Hydraulic efficiency benefits can translate to increased machine productivity and/or reduced fuel consumption. In a controlled field demonstration with a commercially available excavator using Mobil DTE 10 Excel, up to a 6% reduction in fuel consumption per work cycle was documented, as well as a significant reduction in cycle time versus a standard SAE 10W hydraulic fluid.

In addition, laboratory and in-service field demonstrations conducted on a wide range of modern hydraulic systems, demonstrated exceptional oil life, outlasting Mobil DTE 20 by up to three times whilst maintaining outstanding hydraulic system cleanliness and component protection.  Mobil DTE 10 Excel has also been designed to perform in the extreme environments sometimes found at mining locations, operating successfully in temperatures as low as -34°C as well as offering excellent ‘start-up’ protection.

“Mobil DTE 10 Excel has been designed to help improve a mining company’s bottom line – the annual fuel savings alone can sometimes be more than the yearly cost of the hydraulic oil,” said Andrea Jacobsen, European Industrial Lubricants Marketing Manager, ExxonMobil Lubricants & Petroleum Specialties Europe.  “By significantly extending oil drain intervals and reducing fuel consumption we can help mining operators optimise the performance of their equipment in the field.”
