Shell Tellus hydraulic oil – maximum performance and system protection
Choosing a world-renowned working medium is a key decision that affects the reliability of the entire machinery fleet. Hydraulic oils Shell Tellus are synonymous with innovation and reliability in the power hydraulics industry. As specialists at Hydron, we know that products from this brand – led by the flagship Tellus series – are the choice for users who require their hydraulic system to operate without downtime, even in the most extreme industrial and field conditions.
Why use Shell Tellus hydraulic oils?
Shell Tellus products are the result of over 100 years of experience in creating premium lubricants. By using them in your equipment, you gain specific operational benefits:
- Extended component life: Advanced additive packages prevent wear on hydraulic pumps and valves, which significantly reduces maintenance costs.
- Stability in varying temperatures: The VX series (e.g., Shell Tellus S2 VX) is characterized by a very high viscosity index, ensuring smooth starting in freezing temperatures and a stable oil film in high heat.
- High system cleanliness: Effective protection against oxidation and deposits prevents filter clogging, allowing for less frequent technical inspections in machines using our hydraulic hoses.
- Energy efficiency: Shell's synthetic and semi-synthetic oil bases minimize internal friction losses, translating into lower fuel or electricity consumption.
- Material compatibility: Shell oils are safe for a wide range of seals and metals, making them a universal choice for a diverse machinery fleet.
Technical table: Choosing the Shell Tellus series
| Shell Series | Characteristics | Main Application |
|---|---|---|
| Tellus S2 VX | High viscosity index (HV) | Variable weather conditions, mobile machinery |
| Tellus S3 M | Improved anti-wear protection | Stationary systems, difficult operating conditions |
| Tellus S4 ME | Synthetic performance | Applications requiring energy savings |
FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does the "VX" designation in the Shell Tellus oil name mean?
The VX designation (e.g., Tellus S2 VX 46) indicates that the oil has an increased viscosity index (HV class). This allows the oil to maintain its properties over a much wider temperature range than standard products, which is crucial for outdoor operation.
2. Can Shell oils be used in any machine?
Shell Tellus oils have a wide list of original equipment manufacturer (OEM) approvals. Before purchasing, check the technical documentation (OMM) for the required viscosity class and manufacturer specifications, especially if the machine requires precise servicing using a professional crimping machine.
3. Why is Shell S4 ME oil more expensive than the S2 series?
The S4 ME series consists of high-performance synthetic products. They provide a longer life for the oil itself and improve the efficiency of the entire hydraulic system, which generates real financial savings in the long run.
4. How often should Shell Tellus oil be changed?
Oil change intervals should be in accordance with the machine manufacturer's recommendations. Shell Tellus offers high oxidation resistance, allowing for the safe maintenance of recommended intervals, and in some cases, extending them after laboratory oil analysis.
