Mobil Beacon 325 (5 Gal. Pail)
Mobil Beacon 325 is a high performance synthetic grease specifically designed for precision equipment operating at moderate to low temperatures. It provides superb lubrication in a wide variety of small bearings and gears over a wide range of temperatures, and is an excellent choice as a gear and bearing lubricant in "sealed-for-life" units in aircraft, automotive and industrial applications. Due to its high viscosity index, it operates well at low temperatures and has good pumpability. It is also highly resistant to water, has extremely high oxidation stability, and good mechanical stability. The recommended temperature range for continuous operation is -50° C to 120°C.
Mobil Beacon 325 is formulated with an organic ester synthetic oil. See "Applications" below for notes.
BEACON 325 is a member of the Mobil brand of lubricating products recognized for their high quality and reliability, as well as performance capabilities. As with other Mobil greases, this product is manufactured to the strictest quality standards. A key feature of BEACON 325 is its use of a synthetic fluid to provide optimum performance for low temperature precision applications. BEACON 325 offers the following quality features:
-
Special synthetic base oil provides excellent low-torque and low temperature properties
-
Excellent oxidation stability for extended grease life needed for filled for life applications
-
Very good water resistance ensures proper lubrication even in the presence of incidental water contamination
-
Low volatility base oil permits operation at moderate to high temperature without fluid evaporation
Application notes: BEACON 325 is formulated with an organic ester synthetic oil. This synthetic oil may cause a softening or swelling of certain plastics, elastomers, paints, or varnishes. How serious the softening or swelling tendency may be depends also on the temperature and the period of contact. Contact your local ExxonMobil lubricants representative for further information on materials compatibility.
BEACON 325 provides excellent service in a wide variety of small bearings and lightly loaded gears that operate over a wide temperature range, including such applications as:
-
Naval, marine, and aircraft instruments and control mechanisms
-
Geared limit switches in Limitorque valve actuators
-
Commercial and military electronic equipment
-
Sealed for life motors, generators, and similar equipment in automotive, aviation and industrial applications

I noticed that Mobile 28 is a special grease made by military specs and commercial aviation specs.
If the manufacturer of your product recommend Mobile 28, then I will used it.
I hope it helps.
