Truegard vs Shell vs Mobil Cross Reference Guide

Downloadable Cross-Reference Guide

Finding an equivalent industrial lubricant doesn't have to mean starting your product search from scratch. The Keller-Heartt oil cross reference guide helps compare Truegard lubricants with similar Shell and Mobil products across common industrial and commercial applications. Use the charts below to compare engine oils, hydraulic oils, gear oils, compressor oils, turbine oils, slideway oils, greases, bearing oils, circulating oils, and railroad and marine diesel engine lubricants. If you're currently using a Shell or Mobil lubricant, these cross-reference charts can help identify a comparable Truegard product to consider for your equipment or application. Important: A cross-reference is a starting point for product selection, not a guarantee that two lubricants are interchangeable in every application. Always confirm viscosity grade, specifications, approvals, equipment requirements, and OEM recommendations before changing lubricants. Take the guesswork out of finding the right oils and lubricants with Keller-Heartt’s Truegard vs Shell vs Mobil Cross Reference Guide. This guide categorizes Truegard’s lubricants and matches them to their Shell or Mobil equivalents, so you can easily identify what you need. At Keller-Heartt, the quality of our oil is our number-one priority. But quality only matters so long as our customers get the correct products.


How to Use the Oil Cross Reference Chart

Truegard, Shell, and Mobil Products Cross Reference Charts

Start with the lubricant you're currently using and locate it in the Shell or Mobil column. The corresponding Truegard product provides a potential alternative to research for your application.

For example, the guide includes comparisons such as:

  • Shell Rotella and Mobil Delvac engine oils
  • Shell Tellus and Mobil DTE hydraulic oils
  • Shell Omala and Mobilgear gear oils
  • Shell Corena and Mobil Rarus compressor oils
  • Shell Turbo and Mobil DTE turbine oils
  • Shell Gadus and Mobilgrease products
  • Shell Morlina and Mobil bearing and circulating oils

This makes the page useful for maintenance teams, purchasing departments, fleet operators, plant managers, and other businesses looking to compare lubricant options without researching each product individually.

Choosing the Right Replacement Lubricant

A cross-reference can narrow your search, but choosing an industrial lubricant should go beyond matching viscosity alone. Before switching products, consider: Viscosity grade: Confirm that the replacement meets the viscosity requirements of the equipment. Application: Hydraulic systems, gearboxes, compressors, turbines, engines and bearings have different lubrication requirements. Base oil and formulation: Conventional, synthetic and specialty formulations may perform differently even when their viscosity grades are similar. Additive package: Anti-wear, extreme-pressure, oxidation resistance, corrosion protection and other properties can vary between products. OEM specifications: Equipment manufacturers may require specific lubricant specifications or approvals. Operating environment: Temperature, load, contamination, moisture and operating intervals can all affect lubricant selection. When there is any uncertainty, review the product technical data sheet or confirm compatibility before making the switch.

Why Consider a Truegard Alternative?

For businesses purchasing lubricants regularly, product selection isn't only about the brand printed on the drum. Availability, application requirements, purchasing volume and cost all play a role. Keller-Heartt's Truegard line includes lubricants for a broad range of commercial and industrial applications, giving customers another option when sourcing products traditionally purchased from Shell, Mobil and other major lubricant manufacturers. The cross-reference guide makes it easier to begin that comparison while Keller-Heartt's team can help customers evaluate the appropriate product for their specific application.

Frequently asked questions

Find answers to common questions about our products and services
  • It depends on the Truegard product and viscosity grade. For example, the Keller-Heartt chart compares several Truegard Hydraulic AW products with products in the Shell Tellus S2 M line. Use the hydraulic oil cross-reference table above to find the corresponding grade.

  • The chart identifies several products in the Mobil DTE family as potential cross references for Truegard Hydraulic AW lubricants. The appropriate product depends on viscosity grade and application.

  • Truegard offers several heavy-duty engine oils that cross-reference with specific Mobil Delvac products. Use the engine oil table above to compare the exact Mobil product, viscosity grade and corresponding Truegard option.

  • A cross-reference identifies a potential alternative, but products shouldn't automatically be treated as interchangeable. Confirm the viscosity, specifications, approvals, formulation and equipment manufacturer's requirements before changing lubricants.

  • Yes. Two oils can have the same ISO or SAE viscosity grade while using different base oils, additive packages, performance specifications or approvals. Viscosity is only one part of selecting the correct lubricant.

  • The equivalent depends on the specific Shell Tellus product. The chart includes comparisons between Shell Tellus S2 M products and Truegard Hydraulic AW oils across several ISO viscosity grades.

  • There are several Shell Rotella products, so there isn't one universal Truegard replacement. The engine oil cross-reference chart identifies potential Truegard alternatives for specific Rotella products and viscosity grades.
