Mobilgear 600 XP 320 is a common spec on enclosed industrial gearboxes. If you buy it in 5 gallon pails and want a direct-from-supplier alternative, Lubri-Loy's interchange list points to GO-320-640: our Industrial EP Gear Oil, mineral, ISO viscosity grade 320.

Below is a plain comparison using Lubri-Loy catalog values and Mobil's published properties, plus the things you should confirm before you change oils.

## Quick answer

Lubri-Loy's interchange list pairs Mobilgear 600 XP 320 (5 gal pail) with Lubri-Loy GO-320-640 (5 gal pail): both are ISO VG 320 gear oils for enclosed gear drives, and GO-320 is a mineral-oil EP gear oil.

03Before the changeover

## Check before you switch

Mobil lists OEM approvals (for example Flender and Renk) on some grades of the 600 XP series. If your gearbox maker requires a named approval, confirm what the OEM specifies for the 320 grade before you switch.

Mobil highlights micropitting and FE8 bearing-wear protection for the 600 XP series. The Lubri-Loy catalog does not print those tests for GO-320, so if your gearbox is micropitting-sensitive, ask the OEM what it requires.
