In 2025, Mobil Delvac™ marks a significant milestone of 100 years of excellence in diesel engine lubrication. For a century, Mobil Delvac™ has been at the forefront of innovation, continually pushing the limits of engine performance, endurance, and efficiency. AG Lubricants is excited to join the celebration and highlight the legacy of the most trusted lubricant brands in the world.
Since its inception in 1925, Mobil Delvac™ has played a pivotal role in advancing diesel engine technology. The name itself, an abbreviation of ‘Diesel Engine Lubricant by Vacuum Oil’, reflects its early commitment to supporting the emerging diesel industry. Over the decades, Mobil Delvac has set new benchmarks in lubricant technology, ensuring superior protection for heavy-duty engines operating under extreme conditions.
“This 100-year journey is a testament to relentless innovation and quality. At AG Lubricants, we are proud to be part of this incredible legacy, supplying businesses across various industries with premium lubrication solutions that enhance efficiency and reduce operational costs.
“ExxonMobil’s decision to entrust AG Lubricants with the local blending of Mobil Delvac™ Modern MX 15W40 Super Defense highlights their confidence in our organisation, the capabilities of our blending facility, and our commitment to quality standards,” comments Jake Govender, CEO of AG Lubricants.
“This product plays a crucial role in South Africa’s commercial sector, both on and off highway. Being able to blend it locally allows us to reduce lead times and costs, delivering significant benefits to local industries and our company alike. The partnership reflects the strong relationship we have built with ExxonMobil, and we look forward to further solidifying our role in the global market while continuing to support the local industry,” says Govender.
The centenary is not just about celebrating longevity; it is about recognising the values that have made the brand an industry leader. Mobil Delvac™ has spent a century collaborating with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), working alongside mechanics, and developing cutting-edge lubricant technology tailored to the evolving needs of transportation, mining, and industrial sectors.
“Mobil Delvac™ has earned the trust of professionals worldwide by consistently delivering outstanding performance,” says Ernest Roux, Commercial Manager of AG Lubricants. “This milestone reaffirms its reputation as the go-to choice for those who demand reliability and efficiency from their lubricants.”
To commemorate this historic achievement, Mobil Delvac™ has introduced a special anniversary logo. Designed in gold to signify elegance and longevity, the logo incorporates a road motif, symbolising the brand’s century-long journey of resilience and success. This emblem reflects a commitment to continuously supporting industries that keep the world moving.
While celebrating its past, Mobil Delvac™ remains focused on the future. The evolution of global transport networks, advancements in emissions technology, and the increasing demand for high-performance lubricants ensures ongoing innovation. As businesses seek greater efficiency and cost savings, the product’s advanced formulation remains indispensable in keeping engines running at peak performance.
“AG Lubricants is proud to be a trusted supplier of Mobil Delvac™ products, providing high-quality lubricants and greases, across multiple sectors, including transportation, renewable energy, and mining. Our energy-saving solutions help businesses improve machinery uptime and reduce operational costs, ensuring maximum efficiency and reliability,” concludes Govender.
