Mobilux EP 2 and Mobilgrease XHP 222 Technical Equivalent Guide
Grease lubrication is a lifesaver at points of heavy load, water contact and high temperature where liquid oils can't do the job. Mobilux EP 2 and Mobilgrease XHP 222 are among the industry's best-known general-purpose bearing greases. At Rotek, we secure your systems by supplying these products and specification-based technical equivalent candidates (Shell, Petrol Ofisi, etc.).

Mobilux EP 2 Cross-Brand Equivalent (Lithium)
Mobilux EP 2 is an NLGI 2 grade, standard lithium-soap, extreme-pressure (EP) additive general-purpose grease. Common equivalent matches for bearings and plain bearings are as follows:
| Property | Mobilux EP 2 | Shell Gadus S2 V220 2 | Petrol Ofisi Super Gres EP 2 |
|---|---|---|---|
| NLGI Class | 2 | 2 | 2 |
| Soap Type | Lithium | Lithium | Lithium |
| Base Oil | Mineral | Mineral | Mineral |
| Performance Class | DIN 51502 KP2K-20 | DIN 51502 KP2K-20 | DIN 51502 KP2K-20 |
Mobilgrease XHP 222 Cross-Brand Equivalent (Lithium Complex)
Mobilgrease XHP 222 is a lithium complex-soap grease offering higher temperature resistance and water resistance. Known for its blue color. Commonly found lithium complex equivalent candidates in the market include:
| Property | Mobilgrease XHP 222 | Shell Gadus S3 V220C 2 | Petrol Ofisi Complex EP 2 |
|---|---|---|---|
| NLGI Class | 2 | 2 | 2 |
| Soap Type | Lithium Complex | Lithium Complex | Lithium Complex |
| Base Oil | Mineral | Mineral | Mineral |
Grease Mixing Warnings
Mixing greases with different thickener (soap) structures (for example lithium with polyurea, or lithium complex with calcium) is extremely dangerous and can cause the grease's structure to collapse within seconds. Even within the same soap type, it's recommended that the bearing be fully cleaned and cleared of old grease when switching brands.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can lithium grease and lithium complex grease be mixed?
Lithium and lithium complex greases are generally considered compatible, but this isn't always guaranteed. Ideally, the old grease should be cleaned from the machine as thoroughly as possible when switching to a new brand or series.
Does using Gadus S3 V220C 2 instead of XHP 222 deliver the same high-temperature performance?
Both products are high-quality lithium complex greases with similar EP additives and temperature-resistance limits. They're technical equivalent candidates, but if your system has a very specific operating range, technical verification is required.
