High quality hydraulic oil – Group II base oil technology – Multipurpose
Shell Tellus S2 VX are high quality hydraulic oils, specifically formulated from Group II base oils, providing outstanding protection and performance over a wide operating temperature range.
Resists decomposition due to temperature and mechanical stress.
Ideally suited for most mobile hydraulic equipment as well as applications that require work in environments with a wide temperature range.
Features & Benefits
1. Long oil life – Save maintenance costs
Resists thermal and chemical decomposition, helps reduce sludge formation, and ensures system cleanliness and reliability.
Maintains high stability in the presence of moisture, helping to increase oil life and reduce the risk of corrosion and rust in wet environments.
Viscosity stabilizing additives help minimize changes in oil properties throughout the oil change cycle.
2. Outstanding anti-wear protection
Meets the requirements of modern hydraulic systems, including the ability to withstand extreme pressure in the FZG test (reaching FLS 11 or higher since ISO VG 32).
Demonstrates outstanding performance in the harsh Denison T6H20C test (dry and wet) and meets Eaton Vickers 35VQ25 standards.
Helps prolong the life of components in the hydraulic system.
3. Maintain system performance
Excellent filtration ability and outstanding water separation, air release, and anti-foaming properties, help maintain or improve hydraulic system performance.
High cleanliness meets ISO 4406 - 20/18/15 (measured before packaging), helping to reduce contamination and filter clogging.
Optimize friction properties, reduce jerking, helping the system operate more smoothly.
Excellent air release and anti-foam formula, helps optimize force transfer and minimizes negative effects from air bubbles that cause oxidation.
Main Applications
1. Portable/outdoor hydraulic system
Suitable for hydraulic and transmission systems exposed to external environments with extreme temperature changes.
High viscosity index, helps operate well from cold start to full load or heavy load.
2. Precision hydraulic system
Requires maintaining stable viscosity throughout operation.
Shell Tellus S2 VX provides superior temperature and viscosity stability compared to ISO HM grade hydraulic oils, helping to improve operating performance.
3. Marine hydraulic system
Suitable for marine hydraulic applications requiring the use of ISO HV type hydraulic oils.
