Mobil Vactra Oil No. 2 is a premium ISO VG 68 slideway lubricant engineered to deliver smooth machine movement, excellent coolant compatibility, and dependable protection for precision machine tools.
Mobil Vactra Oil No. 2 is a premium-quality slideway lubricant developed to meet the demanding requirements of modern precision machining. Formulated with high-quality base oils and an advanced additive system, it provides controlled friction characteristics, excellent aqueous coolant separability, and reliable corrosion protection for machine tools operating in manufacturing environments. It is particularly suited for horizontal slideways on small to medium-sized machine tools while also performing effectively in circulating lubrication systems and moderate-duty hydraulic applications.
One of the key advantages of Mobil Vactra Oil No. 2 is its ability to minimise stick-slip and chatter across a variety of slideway materials, including steel-on-steel and steel-on-polymer combinations. This promotes smooth and accurate machine movement, helping manufacturers improve machining precision, extend cutting tool life, and achieve better surface finishes. It also integrates well with industrial lubrication programmes using complementary solutions from Shell, TotalEnergies, and speciality lubrication technologies from Molykote.
Designed for compatibility with aqueous metalworking fluids, Mobil Vactra Oil No. 2 separates efficiently from many water-based coolants, reducing the risk of cross-contamination that can shorten coolant service life. This characteristic helps maintain both lubricant and coolant performance while reducing maintenance requirements and supporting more efficient machining operations. Its performance also meets recognised machine tool lubrication specifications, including Fives Cincinnati P53, P47, and P50.
Typical applications include slideway systems, ball screws, linear guides, headstocks, translating screws, and machine tools where lubricant contamination of water-based coolants must be minimised. With an ISO VG 68 viscosity grade, flash point of 228°C, pour point of -18°C, excellent rust protection, and an FZG Load Stage of 13, it provides dependable performance across a wide range of industrial operating conditions.
