Hi-Shock

After 5 years of testing in both the laboratory and the field, ExxonMobil, in partnership with Sumitomo Machine Corporation of America have formulated a unique, high-performance synthetic lubricant, Hi-Shock 150.

The revolutionary formulation significantly reduces internal friction, substantially extending operational life.
Lower Total Cost of Ownership
The exceptional oxidation resistance provides better lubrication, for longer, significantly extending service intervals.
Mobil SHC™ Hi-Shock 150 is the only synthetic oil approved by Sumitomo Drive Technologies for general use.
Enhanced Performance
The radically different lubricant film properties provide a considerable increase in Cyclo® life.
Full Synthetic
The PAO based formula is compatible with both mineral oils and PAO synthetic oil, simplifying conversions.
Three and Four Year Warranty
Units shipped pre-filled are eligible for our extended warranty program. Contact your local SMA representative for details.
