Why is Mobil Aviation Grease SHC 100 so exceptional? We think it’s because we developed it in collaboration with the OEMs to satisfy the most pressing needs of the industry. This is why we developed a six-year shelf life, alleviating pressures with inventory value and stock management. It’s why the grease's Lithium Complex Polyalphaolefin formulation offers maximum protection and component life in ball bearings, increasing uptime and minimizing risks of unplanned downtime. And it’s why it helps protect against corrosion and degradation in a wide range of temperatures, both high and low. If your fleet could benefit from Mobil Aviation Grease SHC 100, one of the experts on our team can help you determine how best to make that happen. #aviation #Mobil #aircraftmaintenance

“If you enjoy what you do, why change that?” asks Mohamed Nouser. He’s one of Mobil Aviation’s top innovators, a Technology Solution Professional based in Clinton, New Jersey. For the #HearFromOurExperts series, we asked him how he got into aviation lubricants, what he most enjoys about his work, and what he sees in the future. “My favorite parts of the job are problem solving, keeping the customer OEM happy,” Mohamed says. His job is basically the connective tissue between cutting-edge products and the day-to-day challenges our customers and partners face on the tarmac. Or, as he put it: “trying to understand, from a chemistry perspective, why certain suppliers’ samples work — and why others don’t.” Mohamed is like most of our Mobil Aviation innovators: people who can’t see a challenge without wanting to develop a solution. His attitude and work ethic are the driving force behind our industry, the reason we took to the skies 120 years ago and the reason we’ll continue to fly higher and faster for another 120 years… and beyond.

National Air Traffic Control Day: As engineers and lubrication specialists, we tend to spend the majority of our time celebrating the support technicians who use our products and the innovations in efficiency and uptime that we play a direct role in. But the truth is, our industry is supported by millions of people with a wide variety of skills and passions, and one of those groups is Air Traffic Controllers. On July 6, 1936, the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Air Commerce began federal control of en route traffic to improve system safety. For the past 88 years, Air Traffic Controllers have overseen our air travel routes, providing vital communications and context that keep our pilots, passengers, and cargo safe day in and day out, year after year. #airtrafficcontrol #aviation #careers

This year, ExxonMobil is celebrating 120 years of aviation by commemorating the innovation and steel-nerves of the fearless pilots who helped make this industry possible. But it’s just as important to acknowledge that we still support the daredevil #innovators of today, like Bruce Bohannan, who was inducted into the Texas Aviation Hall of Fame in 2022 after setting 25 records with his ”Exxon Flyin’ Tiger.” #aviation #history

Dan Kadlecek, Principal Aviation Fuel Scientist at ExxonMobil and his colleagues recently attended the ASTM International D02 June Committee Week in Austin, TX. The team was there to support updates to the primary aviation fuel specifications, advocate for increased manufacturing flexibility while maintaining the industry’s focus on fuel safety, quality and supply reliability. This was a valuable opportunity to collaborate with colleagues and industry stakeholders on important technical standards central to the aviation industry! #SAF #aviationfuel #ASTMInternational #exxonmobilaviation #exxonmobilaviationfuels

Aviation fact or fiction? “Improperly designed or tested lubricants can create leaks and other problems that cost airlines significantly when aircraft must be taken out of service for maintenance.” Fact – As temperatures in today’s increasingly powerful engines continue to trend upward, engineers are exploring newer, more heat-tolerant alloys for bearings, gears and gear boxes, as well as new materials such as ceramics for fan blades and other equipment. Despite the tightly regulated nature of jet oils, compatibility issues have arisen as jet engine technology has advanced. In general, there is good compatibility between the synthetic esters used to make jet oils. But the additive chemicals that provide enhanced performance or anti-wear properties for jet oils are less predictable, which is why suppliers test rigorously for compatibility with a variety of metals found in engine components. #aviation #trueorfalse #mythsbusted

Designed for exceptional stability both on the shelf and in the machinery, Mobilgrease™ 33 is a lifesaver for fleets looking to consolidate their inventory and simplify their maintenance routines. The ester-free polyalphaolefin (PAO) and lithium complex blend provides optimum performance, hydrolytic stability, and resistance to thermal and oxidative degradation, exceptional wear protection, water washout resistance and (your team will thank you for this) a total lack of offensive odor. #aviation #Mobil #aircraftmaintenance

From the first moments the Wright Brothers took flight — in a machine lubricated by Gargoyle Mobiloil — to the last time you stepped off a commercial aircraft, ExxonMobil has been playing an integral role in the growth of aviation, just as aviation has played an integral role in the growth of our global economy. When Glenn Curtiss set off on his record-setting flight from Albany to New York City in 1910, he trust Mobiloil Lubricant to keep his plane safely aloft. Six years later when Ruth Law set the cross-America speed record, she insisted on Mobiloil to the extent that she paid for her own product rather than accepting free offerings from competitors. When the industry shifted from daredevil achievements to commercialization, experts knew just what brand to trust, from Pan American Airlines using Gargoyle Mobiloil on their first regularly scheduled transatlantic flight in 1958, to Singapore Airline’s nonstop flight from Singapore to New York — the longest commercial flight in the world — trusting Mobil Jet Oil 387. #aviation #history

Last week, we had a wonderful time at the International Air Transport Association (IATA) #Aviation Energy Forum! Thank you to IATA for putting together another excellent forum for the aviation industry! Collaboration like this propels the industry forward. #SAF #aviation #aviationfuel #iata #aef #exxonmobilaviation #energytransition

On May 29, 1910, pioneer aviator Glenn Curtiss was supported by Mobiloil as he flew from Albany to New York City to make the first long-distance flight between two major cities in the U.S. For this 137-mile (220 km) flight, which he completed in just under 4 hours including one stop to refuel, he won a $10,000 prize offered by publisher Joseph Pulitzer and was awarded permanent possession of the Scientific American Trophy. Curtiss wrote to Vacuum Oil Company executives a week after completing the flight, telling them: “I am pleased to report the success we have met with in the use of Mobiloil in lubricating the engines of our aeroplanes and to say that it maintained its reputation in my Albany-New York flight.” A renowned aircraft and engine designer, Curtiss would go on to be a leading #innovator throughout the early decades in the field of aviation. Gargoyle Mobiloil was so popular among aviators during these years that a full-page ad in Forest and Stream magazine in 1910 proudly claimed “almost all aviators in this country and Europe use Mobiloil.” More than 100 years later, it’s tough to say if this claim was verified, but given all the letters from top aviators, Mobiloil clearly was a popular brand with those daredevils who risked their lives to further explore the possibilities of flight. #Aviation #aviationhistory
