SHELL GADUSRAIL S2 TRACTION MOTOR
BEARING GREASE
HIGH PERFORMANCE TRACTION MOTOR BEARING GREASE
REPLACES SHELL CYPRINA RA
Shell GadusRail S2 Traction Motor Bearing Grease is one of Shells highest quality lithium soap-based
greases. It is manufactured to specications that provide excellent mechanical stability and long service life.
These properties are needed for many critical anti-friction bearing applications. Shell GadusRail S2 Traction
Motor Bearing grease is a NLGI Grade 3 grease formulated using mineral base oils.
61
Shell GadusRail S2 Wheel Flange greases are lithium soap
thickened greases made with highly rened base oils, a special EP
additive package and 3% molybdenum disulde. The molybdenum
disulde acts to enhance anti-wear and load carrying properties,
which are critical for the transport of railcars over the track. A
highly shear stable tackier improves grease adhesion to track
surfaces and helps prevent oil bleeding. These greases also offer
good resistance to the mechanical shear associated with trackside
lubricator operation. Though all three greases can be used for winter
and summer applications:
n Shell GadusRail S2 Wheel Flange 0 is designed for maximum
pumpability and ease of handling under extreme cold conditions.
n Shell GadusRail S2 Wheel Flange 1 has shown to be very
pumpable and to carry especially well on the track in cold
weather. It is suitable for cold weather (winter) applications.
n Shell GadusRail S2 Wheel Flange 2 has been designed to
improve the lubricity and durability of the grease under the
conditions imposed by hot weather. It is suitable for warm
weather (summer) applications.
APPLICATIONS
n The frictional forces developed by steel train wheels on the rail
combined with the steering forces exerted by the rail rubbing
against the wheel increases energy consumption and accelerates
the wear of both wheel (tread and ange) and rail. This can be a
serious problem, particularly for railway systems operating heavily
loaded unit trains or those having numerous curves.
n Shell GadusRail S2 Wheel Flange greases are specially formulated
to meet the pumpability, adhesion, and load carrying requirements
of a track lubricant. Additionally, Shell GadusRail S2 Wheel
Flange greases are formulated to perform well when used on any
equipment subjected to conditions of high loads and temperature
extremes and provide excellent resistance to rust and corrosion
BENEFITS
n Enhanced wear protection of wheels and track.
n Excellent heavy and shock load protection.
n Excellent adherence to track even under adverse weather
conditions.
n Suitability for a variety of track and wheel lubricator systems.
n Special formulation to reduce product loss at the application site.
AND RECOMMENDATIONS
n Shell GadusRail S2 Wheel Flange greases are suitable for
conventional railroad trackside and/or wheel/ange lubrication
systems designed to handle greases, including lubricators made
by KLF Lubriquip (formerly Madison-Kipp), Bijur, Portec and
Moore and Steele.

corrosion and rusting, particularly in moist or humid environments.
n Highly shear stable viscosity modiers help minimise variations
in the uid properties throughout the uid drain interval.
n Proven zinc-based anti-wear additives are incorporated to be
effective throughout the range of operating conditions, including
low load and severe duty high load conditions. Outstanding
performance in a range of piston and vane pump tests, including
the tough Denison T6C (dry and wet versions) and the demanding
Vickers 35VQ25, demonstrates how Shell Tellus S2 V uids can
help system components last longer.
n The extended temperature range capability of Shell Tellus S2 V
allows efcient operation of mobile equipment from cold start to
normal operating conditions.
n Superior cleanliness, excellent lterability and high performance water
separation, air release and anti-foam characteristics all help contribute
to maintaining or enhancing the efciency of hydraulic systems.
n The unique additive system in Shell Tellus S2 V, in combination
with superior cleanliness (meeting the requirements of max ISO
4406 21/19/16 class, ex Shell lling lines. As recognised by
DIN 51524 specication, the oil is exposed to various inuences
with transport and storage that could affect the cleanliness level)
helps reduce the impact of contaminants on lter blocking,
allowing both extended lter life and use of ner ltration for extra
equipment protection.
n Shell Tellus S2 V uids are formulated for fast air release without
excessive foaming to help efcient hydraulic power transfer and
minimise uid and equipment impacts of cavitation-induced
oxidation that can shorten uid life.
APPLICATIONS
MOBILE/EXTERIOR HYDRAULIC APPLICATIONS
n Hydraulic and uid power transmission systems in exposed
environments can be subject to wide variations in temperature.
The high viscosity index of Shell Tellus S2 V helps deliver
responsive performance from cold start conditions to full load,
severe duty operation.
PRECISION HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS
n Precision hydraulic systems require excellent control of uid
viscosity over the operating cycle. Shell Tellus S2 V provides greater
temperature viscosity stability compared to ISO HM uids that can
help improve the performance of such systems.
n For more severe operating conditions, longer uid life and
enhanced efciency, the Shell Tellus S3 and S4 ranges offer
additional performance benets.
COMPATIBILITY
n Shell Tellus S2 V uids are suitable for use with most hydraulic
pumps. However, please consult your Shell representative before
using in pumps containing silver plated components.
FLUID COMPATIBILITY
n Shell Tellus S2 V uids are compatible with most other mineral
oil based hydraulic uids. However, mineral oil hydraulic uids
should not be mixed with other uid types (e.g. environmentally
acceptable or re resistant uids).

LONG FLUID LIFE MAINTENANCE SAVING
Shell Tellus S3 M uids offer an improved capability to extend uid
maintenance intervals and helps reduce equipment downtime through:
n An extended ASTM D 943 TOST lifetime, with an oxidative
stability that is up to three times longer than the industry minimum.
n Excellent resistance to breakdown in the presence of water and
heat.
These features provide extended maintenance capability without
compromising protection or performance, even under severe or
extended temperature range applications.
n Advanced zinc-free anti-wear additives provide protection over a
wide range of conditions, including low and severe duty, and high
load operation. This protection has been demonstrated in tough
industry standard hydraulic pump tests such as the Denison T6C (dry
and wet versions), Denison P46 and Eaton Vickers 35VQ25 tests.
n Superior cleanliness and lterability; coupled with excellent water
separation, air release and anti-foam characteristics, all help to
maintain or enhance hydraulic system efciency.
n The lterability of Shell Tellus S3 M is maintained even when the
uid is contaminated with water.
n Shell Tellus S3 M uids have an ISO 4406 cleanliness of
21/19/16 or better ex Shell lling lines. As recognised by DIN
51524 specication, the oil is exposed to various inuences with
transport and storage that could effect the cleanliness level.
APPLICATIONS
MANUFACTURING AND INDUSTRIAL HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS
n Shell Tellus S3 M uids are suitable for a wide range of hydraulic
power applications found in manufacturing and industrial
environments.
SEVERE DUTY HYDRAULIC SERVICE
n The long-life characteristics of Shell Tellus S3 M uids can make
them particularly suitable for severe duty (e.g. load, temperature)
applications or where extended life is required (e.g. remote or
inaccessible locations).
MARINE AND MOBILE HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS
n Shell Tellus S3 M uids are suitable for marine and mobile
applications where ISO HM type hydraulic uids are
recommended.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
n Shell Tellus S3 M has a reduced environmental impact in the event
of a leak or accidental spillage compared to conventional zinc-
based hydraulic uids. This is achieved through the use of zinc-free
anti-wear technology and low sulphur base oils.
For further reductions in environmental impact, we offer the Shell
Naturelle range of environmentally considerate lubricants.
For applications that experience wide temperature variations we
recommend the Shell Tellus S2 series of hydraulic uids.
COMPATIBILITY
n Shell Tellus S3 M uids are suitable for use with most hydraulic pumps.
FLUID COMPATIBILITY
n Shell Tellus S3 M uids are compatible with most other mineral oil
based hydraulic uids. However, mineral oil hydraulic uids should not
be mixed with other uid types (e.g. environmentally acceptable or
re-resistant uids).
n Shell Tellus S3 M uids are compatible with seal materials and

APPLICATIONS
Shell Irus Fluid C is particularly suitable for demanding hydraulic
applications where there is a high re risk, such as those found in
the Mining and Metal Processing industries.
In order to reduce the water evaporation Shell Irus Fluid C, as for all
the ISO HFC type of uids, should be used below 55C with
a suggested maximum temperature of 45C.
LUBRICATION AND COMPONENT LIFE
In general, water-glycol uids are less effective bearing lubricants
than petroleum mineral hydraulic oils, but are entirely satisfactory in
systems containing pumps with plain bearings or lightly loaded ball
and roller bearings. However, in common with other water-based
uids a reduction in bearing life can be expected. This will normally
be included in the derating made by the pump manufacturer.
In order to increase as much as possible the reliability of the system
and reduce its maintenance costs it is important that all components
are checked with their manufacturer on whether they are suitable/
compatible with water glycol products.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
CONTROL OF WATER CONTENT
Water content should be controlled within 35% to 45% by weight.
Condensate or de-ionized water should be used for any additions,
which should be made slowly while the uid is circulating.
CONVERSION FROM OTHER TYPES OF FLUIDS
Specic attention should be given in case of converting to Shell Irus
Fluid C systems that were previously using lubricants of different types
than ISO HFC (e.g. mineral oils or ISO HFDU type of products).
In such a case it is suggested you seek advice from your Shell
representative about the change over procedure you should follow.
SHELL IRUS FLUID C
HFC TYPE FIRE-RESISTANT HYDRAULIC FLUID
Shell Irus Fluid C is an advanced water-glycol re resistant hydraulic uid containing powerful additives
to enhance its anti-wear, anti-corrosion and anti-oxidation properties. The water content is approximately
40% by weight.

LONG OIL LIFEMAINTENANCE SAVING
n Allows the service interval between valve and piston maintenance
to be extended over normal service practices due to low deposits
forming tendencies. Compressors can be kept in service for much
longer periods, operating at a consistently high level of efciency.
ENHANCED AIRLINES SAFETY
n In discharge air-lines, the combination of rust particles, dispersed in
carbonaceous deposits, coupled with heat from recently compressed
air, can cause an exothermic reaction leading to the possibility
of res and explosion. Shell Corena S2 P helps to minimise the
likelihood of this danger arising.
MAINTENANCE SYSTEM EFFICIENCY
n Resistant to the formation of carbon deposits and lacquer on
valves and piston crowns, caused by the by-products of corrosion,
such as ferric oxides and hydroxides, at high working temperatures
and pressures. Such deposits can cause serious damage, lower
compressor efciency and increase maintenance costs.
n Shell Corena S2 P separates readily from water allowing excess
water to be drained from the oil circulation system, thus preventing
accelerated corrosion and a reduction in lubrication efciency.
This also helps to separate oil from condensate in oil/water
separators and drier units.
n Effectively protects all metal surfaces from corrosion. Protects all
sensitive machinery parts (e.g. housings, valves, bearings, from
wear to help prolong the service intervals).
APPLICATIONS
RECIPROCATING AIR COMPRESSORS
n Industrial reciprocating air compressors operating with air discharge
temperatures of up to 220C.
BREATHING AIR COMPRESSORS
n Shell Corena S2 P may be used in breathing air compressors,

the air produced is t for breathing.
SEAL COMPATIBILITY
Shell Corena S2 P is compatible with all sealing materials commonly
used in air compressors.

n Developed specically for heavy-duty reciprocating air
compressors. This includes reciprocating air compressors
subjected to overloading, intermittent or continuous operation.
Shell Corena S4 P is designed to provide safe, reliable and
effective lubrication for extended service periods where mineral
compressor lubricants are unsatisfactory.
n The extreme low tendency for deposit build-up ensures continued
high compressor performance over long periods. It enables the
normal valve maintenance period, typically between 250 and
1,000 hours of operation using conventional mineral oils, to be
extended to 2,000, or even 4,000 hours.
ENHANCED AIR-LINE SAFETY
n The absence of deposit formation has a very important safety
related benet. In discharge air-lines, the combination of rust
particles, dispersed in carbonaceous deposits, coupled with heat
from recently compressed air, can cause an exothermic reaction
leading to the possibility of res and explosion. Shell Corena S4 P
helps to minimise the likelihood of this danger arising.
OUSTANDING WEAR PROTECTION
sensitive machinery parts (e.g. gears, screws, bearings, from wear
to help and prolong the service intervals).
n Resistant to the formation of carbon deposits and lacquer on
valves and piston crowns, caused by the by-products of corrosion
such as ferric oxides and hydroxides, at high working temperatures
and pressures. Such deposits can cause serious damage, lower
compressor efciency and increase maintenance costs.
n Separates readily from water preventing accelerated corrosion
and facilitating separation from condensate.
APPLICATIONS
RECIPROCATING AIR COMPRESSORS
n All industrial reciprocating air compressors, in particular up to and
above air discharge temperatures of 220C with continuous high
delivery pressures.
BREATHING AIR COMPRESSORS
n Shell Corena S4 P may be used in breathing air compressors,
provided subsidiary clean-up apparatus is used to ensure that
the air produced is t for breathing.
SEAL COMPATIBILITY
n Shell Corena S4 P, in common with other ester-based lubricants,
is not compatible with all seal materials, and some older compressors
may need to have the seals changed before they can be run on
the new grades.
MISCIBILITY
n Shell Corena S4 P oils are fully miscible with mineral oils,
although dilution with mineral lubricants will markedly reduce
its performance.

STRONG CONTROL OF OXIDATION
n The use of inherently oxidatively stable base oils together with an
effective inhibitor package provides high resistance to oxidative
degradation. The result is extended oil life, minimising the formation
of aggressive corrosive acids, deposits and sludge, helping to
reduce your operating costs.
HIGH RESISTANCE TO FOAMING AND RAPID AIR
RELEASE
n The oils are formulated with a non-silicone anti-foam additive,
which generally controls foam formation. This feature coupled
with fast air-release from the lubricant reduces the possibility of
problems such as pump cavitation, excessive wear and premature
oil oxidation, helping to give you increased system reliability.
POSITIVE WATER-SHEDDING PROPERTIES
n Robust demulsibility control such that excess water, common-place
in steam turbines, can be drained easily from the lubrication system,
minimising corrosion and premature wear and lowering the risk of
unplanned maintenance.
EXCELLENT RUST AND CORROSION PROTECTION
n Helps prevent the formation of rust and guards against onset of
corrosion ensuring protection for equipment following exposure
to humidity or water during operation and during shut-downs,
minimising maintenance.
RESISTANT TO REACTION WITH AMMONIA
n The use of highly rened base oils and specic additives, resistant
to attack by ammonia, minimises the possibility of damaging oil
soluble/insoluble ammonia compounds being formed in the lubricant.
Shell Turbo Oils T mitigate the formation of these deposits, which
could impair the reliable operation of bearings and seal oil systems.
APPLICATIONS
Shell Turbo Oils T are available in ISO grades 32, 46, 68
and 100 suited for application in the following areas:
n Non-geared industrial steam turbines.
n Non-geared light duty gas turbines.
n Water turbine lubrication.
n Compressor applications.
n Numerous applications where strong control over rust

OUTSTANDING OXIDATION STABILITY
n The lubricants service life depends, to a great extent, on its
oxidative stability. Excellent results in both the hot oxidation
test (FTM5308) and the TOST life test (ASTM-D943) clearly
demonstrates Shell Turbo Oil GT potential for extended service life
compared to conventional mineral oil technology.
EXCELLENT THERMAL STABILITY
n Higher bearing temperatures which are particularly severe during
stop/start cycling conditions, may lead to bearing deposits and
the formation of harmful sludge in the system which subsequently
may result in expensive downtime and reduce service life of
system components. Shell Turbo Oil GT is formulated to give
greater protection against thermal degradation and hence may
signicantly contribute to lower operating and maintenance costs.
EXCELLENT AIR RELEASE CHARACTERISTICS
n Effective air release with a minimum of foaming tendency as required
by modern gas turbines.
APPLICATIONS
POWER AND INDUSTRIAL HEAVY-DUTY GAS
TURBINES
n Shell Turbo Oil GT is used as lubricating oil for main shaft
bearings and mechanical gears as well as governor oil in
the turbine control valves in modern gas turbines.
FURTHER INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS

SUPERIOR OXIDATION RESISTANCE
n High temperatures and extended oil drain intervals demand
superior oxidation properties of the oil. Shell Turbo Oil CCs
excellent oxidative stability helps reduce the formation of sludge
and other harmful oxidation products, contributing to extended oil
life, less maintenance and less downtime.
OUTSTANDING THERMAL RESISTANCE
n Modern turbines impose high thermal stress on the oil, increasing
the risk of failures. Shell Turbo Oil CC is specially designed
to cope with these conditions. Its outstanding thermal stability,
coupled with resistance to formation of lacquer, helps reduce the
possibility of unplanned outages.
RAPID AIR RELEASE AND HIGH RESISTANCE TO FOAMING
n High oil ows contribute to the possibility of entrapped air,
which can lead to pump cavitation, premature oil oxidation and
excessive wear. Shell Turbo Oil CC exhibits excellent surface
properties with minimal foam formation and rapid air-release,
which minimises air entrapment, reducing these effects of high oil
ows to a minimum.
EXCELLENT WATER-SHEDDING PROPERTIES
n Water contamination is common place in steam turbines, causing
corrosion and affecting bearing lubrication. Because of Shell
Turbo Oil CCs outstanding demulsibility, water can be drained
easily from the lubrication system, protecting the installation against
corrosion and premature wear.
GOOD LOAD CARRYING CAPACITY
n Help to reduce excessive gear tooth and turbine component wear
making it suitable for use in turbines with highly loaded gears. Helps
minimise downtime and maintenance costs.
APPLICATIONS
n Power generation combined cycle turbines
n Industrial steam turbines
n Industrial gas turbines.

n Shell Omala S4 WE is formulated to provide excellent oxidation
and thermal stability, extending lubricant life and resisting the
formation of harmful oxidation products at high operating
temperatures. This helps maintain system cleanliness over
extended maintenance intervals.
n This performance is recognised by Flender AG where a formal
approval for 20,000 hours (four years) at 80C (bulk oil
temperature) usage has been granted.
n Shell Omala S4 WE offers the potential to extend service intervals
signicantly compared to conventional industrial gear oils.
EXCELLENT WEAR PROTECTION
n Shell Omala S4 WE is formulated to have excellent load carrying
capacity providing long component life even under shock loading
conditions. It also has a high resistance to
micro-pitting. These features provide benets over mineral
oil-based products in terms of gear and bearing component life.
n Shell Omala S4 WE offers improved energy efciency and lower
operating temperatures in worm gear applications. Rig testing
has shown efciency improvements of up to 15% in comparison
with mineral oil-based products and 11% over other synthetic
hydrocarbon-based lubricants. These results have been conrmed
by OEM testing and eld experience.
APPLICATIONS
ENCLOSED INDUSTRIAL WORM GEAR SYSTEMS
n Recommended for industrial worm gear reduction systems
operating under severe operating conditions, such as high load,
very low or elevated temperatures and wide temperature variations.
EXTENDED LIFE SYSTEMS
n Shell Omala S4 WE is particularly recommended for certain
systems where maintenance is infrequent or systems are
inaccessible (e.g. yaw gears in wind turbine installations).
OTHER APPLICATIONS
n Shell Omala S4 WE oils are suitable for lubrication of bearings

n Shell Omala S4 WE is not recommended for the lubrication of
components manufactured from aluminium or aluminium alloys.
n For highly-loaded spur and helical gears the Shell Omala G
series oils are recommended.
should be used.
High quality epoxy paints are recommended, as polyalkylene
glycols will tend to attack certain conventional paints. Shell Omala
S4 WE has been found to be satisfactory with nitrile and Viton seal
materials, although Viton seals are preferred.
CHANGE-OVER PROCEDURE
Shell Omala S4 WE contains polyalkylene glycols and is not
compatible with mineral oils or most other synthetic lubricant types.
Care should be taken when changing from such products to
Shell Omala S4 WE. The system should be ushed with the
minimum quantity of Shell Omala S4 WE, operating under no load
and draining while warm. Ideally, seals exposed to mineral oils
should also be replaced. Inspect the lubricant after a few days use.
Ensure that oil systems are clean and free from contamination.
Shell Omala S4 WE is also not miscible with some other polyalkylene
glycols, so caution is needed when topping-up. Generally the
preference is to avoid mixtures by draining and relling.

HIGH TEMPERATURE PERFORMANCE
n The diurea thickener used in Shell Gadus S3 T100 has a high
melting point and the grease performance is limited only by the
properties of the base oil and additive components.
n The low volatility and excellent oxidation stability of the base
oil are such that they give it an excellent service life in bearings
operating between -20C and 150C. With caution, Shell
Gadus S3 T100 may, in some circumstances, be used at
temperatures up to 180C, but only if the re-lubrication period is
suitably adjusted.
n When a bearing is running, most high quality greases can
maintain an adequate lubricating lm even when the grease is
loaded with water. However, when the grease bearing is idle,
corrosion may occur causing pitting which can be destructive.
Shell Gadus S3 T100 is formulated with corrosion inhibitors
to help protect bearing surfaces even when the grease is
contaminated with water.
n The lubrication properties of Shell Gadus S3 T100 have been
used very successfully in slow moving, loaded large bearings
such as those found in continuous casters in steel plants.
APPLICATIONS
n Shell Gadus S3 T100 is particularly recommended for use in high

SHELL GADUS S3 T100
PREMIUM QUALITY INDUSTRIAL BEARING GREASE
RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT FOR SHELL STAMINA RL
Shell Gadus S3 T100 is a high technology grease designed to give optimum performance for grease
lubrication in industrial bearings. Shell Gadus S3 T100 is based on mineral oil with a special diurea
thickener to give long life, low wear and shear-stable properties at high temperatures.
RE-LUBRICATION
Grease life varies considerably from application to application,
even with bearings operating under normally identical conditions.
Variables such as air ow, dirt and humidity can have a
considerable effect in addition to the more commonly recognised
parameters of load, speed and temperature.
The use of Shell Gadus S3 T100 usually permits considerable
extension of the re-lubrication interval.
OXIDATION STABILITY
Shell Gadus S3 T100 has a high temperature oxidation inhibitor
system to help ensure that it will withstand high operating
temperatures without forming deposits. Unlike the soap thickeners
used in most greases, the diurea thickener in Shell Gadus S3 T100
does not catalyse grease oxidation, indeed the diurea thickener
offers inherent anti-oxidant properties. This contributes to longer
grease life at higher temperatures.
The base oil component of Shell Gadus S3 T100 is a specially
selected high viscosity index mineral oil with excellent oxidation
and evaporation resistance.
SEALING
The rheology of Shell Gadus S3 T100 is such that at low shear
rates and with heating the consistency increases. Consequently,
in bearings operating at high temperatures the grease remains in
place providing good sealing and continuous lubrication even in the
presence of vibration.
WATER WASHOUT
Shell Gadus S3 T100 exhibits very good resistance to water
washout by immersion or spray.

SHELL GADUS S4 V460D
ADVANCED MULTI-PURPOSE HEAVY-DUTY GREASE
PREVIOUSLY SHELL ALBIDA GREASE HDZX
Shell Gadus S4 V460D Grease is a high performance high temperature grease for slow moving heavily
loaded pins, bushes and large bearings subject to shock loads. They are based on PAO synthetic oil and
high viscosity index mineral oil and a lithium complex thickener. Apart from containing the latest additives to
ensure excellent high temperature, anti-corrosion and anti-oxidation performance, they also contain Mos2 to
ensure the grease can handle shock loads. The enhancement of PAO synthetic base oil allows the grease to
be pumped and perform in lubrication systems at much lower temperatures.

HIGH VISCOSITY
n The very high viscosity of Shell Gadus S4 OG Clear Oil 20000
has been achieved by combining synthetic oil with thickening
effect and high viscosity mineral oils. The use of synthetic oil with
thickening effect has also produced a lubricant with high viscosity
index, which provides good pumpability at low temperatures
while maintaining high viscosity at elevated temperatures.
GEAR INSPECTIONS
n Static and dynamic inspections are much easier to view the gear
condition without cleaning off the grease or oil as the lube lm is
clear and you can inspect the gearing through the lube lm.
n The high viscosity base oils are combined with extreme pressure
additives to give the lubricant very high lm strength and extreme
load carrying capability needed for the protection of heavily
loaded open gearing.
PUMPABILITY
n Shell Gadus S4 OG Clear Oil 20000 can be applied in
automatic lubrication systems previously used for bitumastic
lubricants (e.g. Farval, Wakeeld, Tecalamit and Lincoln). The
viscous oil nature of the lubricant allows it to be gravity fed into
equipment centralised lubricators if required.
APPLICATIONS
Developed specically for the lubrication of medium-size to large
girth gear drives.
It provides good adhesion, excellent resistance to high pressure and
protection against wear.
Shell Gadus S4 OG Clear Oil 20000 incorporates synthetic oil
with thickening effect and high viscosity mineral oils blended with
extreme pressure additives to give a modern high performance
open gear lubricant.
For bearings operating near their maximum recommended temperatures,
re-greasing intervals should be reviewed.

APPLICATIONS
Shell Gadus S5 T100 Grease is particularly recommended for use
in high temperature up to 180C, lightly loaded industrial bearings.
It is recommended for use where long operational life
and extended re-greasing intervals are an important consideration.
HIGH TEMPERATURE PERFORMANCE
The diurea thickener used in Shell Gadus S5 T100 has a high
melting point and the grease performance is limited only by the
properties of the base oil and additive components.
The low volatility and excellent oxidation stability of the base oil
are such that they give an excellent service life in bearings
operating between 40C and 180C.
With caution, Shell Gadus S5 T100 Grease may, in some
circumstances, be used at temperatures up to 200C, but
only if the re-lubrication period is suitably adjusted.
OXIDATION STABILITY
Shell Gadus S5 T100 has a superior high temperature oxidation
inhibitor system to ensure that it will withstand high operating
temperatures without forming deposits. Unlike the soap thickeners
used in most greases, the diurea thickener in Shell Gadus S5 T100
does not catalyse grease oxidation, indeed the diurea thickener
offers inherent anti-oxidant properties. This contributes to longer
grease life at higher temperatures.
The base oil part of Shell Gadus S5 T100 is a specially selected
synthetic component with excellent oxidation and evaporation resistance.
When a bearing is running, most high quality greases can maintain
an adequate lubricating lm even when the grease is contaminated
with water. However, when the grease bearing is idle corrosion
may occur causing pitting which can be detrimental. Shell Gadus
S5 T100 is formulated with corrosion inhibitors to help protect
bearing surfaces even when the grease is contaminated by water.
The lubrication properties of Shell Gadus S5 T100 is unimpaired by
small quantities of salt water.
Grease life varies considerably from application to application,
even with bearings operating under nominally identical conditions.
Variables such as air ow, dirt and humidity can have a considerable
effect in addition to the more commonly recognised parameters of
load, speed and temperature.
The use of Shell Gadus S5 T100 usually permits considerable
extension of the re-lubrication interval.
SEALING
The rheology of Shell Gadus S5 T100 is such that at low shear
rates and with heating the consistency increases. Consequently, in
bearings operating at high temperatures the grease remains in place
providing good sealing and continuous lubrication even in the presence
of vibration.
WATER WASHOUT
Shell Gadus S5 T100 exhibits very good resistance to water
washout by immersion or spray.
SHELL GADUS S5 T100
ADVANCED MULTI-PURPOSE GREASE
PREVIOUSLY SHELL STAMINA RLS
Shell Gadus S5 T100 Grease is a very high technology grease designed to give optimum performance for
grease lubrication in industrial bearings.
It is based on synthetic oil with a special diurea thickener to give long life, low wear and shear-stable
properties at high temperatures.

n Shell Heat Transfer Oil S2 is based on carefully selected highly
rened mineral oils and resists oil cracking, oxidation and
thickening. This provides extended oil life, provided efcient uid
heating and good pump circulation is ensured, such that lm
temperatures on the heater surface do not exceed the limits below.
SYSTEM EFFICIENCY
n Low viscosity enables excellent uidity and heat transfer over
a wide temperature range.
n Shell Heat Transfer Oil S2 also has a low vapour pressure so resists
cracking. This minimises the formation of volatile decomposition
products; these would require recovery via expansion chamber and

Shell Naturelle HF-E is miscible with conventional mineral oil based
hydraulic oils in all proportions. However, in order to ensure that
the environmental properties and performance are maintained, the
system should be drained and ushed prior to change over to
Shell Naturelle HF-E.
Owing to the surface wetting properties of Shell Naturelle HF-E, if
systems were previously operated using a mineral oil hydraulic uid,
deposits formed in the system during operation may be loosened
and deposited in system lters. The lters should therefore be
checked at regular intervals after uid changeover.
Shell Naturelle HF-E is compatible with all seal materials and paints
normally specied for use with petroleum mineral oils. Certain
plastics and industrial adhesives may be adversely affected and
advice should be sought from the respective manufacturers.
AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Shell Naturelle HF-E 46 and 68 are on the Positivliste and qualify
for funding under the German Marketing Introduction Programme
for biolubricants.
The improved anti-wear properties, and naturally high viscosity index
(VI) of Shell Naturelle Fluids HF-E, means that they can often be
used where ISO 11158 (HM/HV) and DIN 51524 Part 2 or Part 3
(HLP/HVLP) mineral oil hydraulic uids are specied. However, bulk
uid operating temperatures should not be allowed to exceed 90C
and optimum uid life will be realised if operating temperatures are
maintained at approximately 55C.

n Shell VSI 8235 (Concentrate) contains polar materials which
are both oil soluble and also volatile. Thus, as Shell VSI 8235
(Concentrate) is in circulation, the vapour spaces in a system
are continuously kept lled with the VSI vapour which is formed
by these inhibitors and this vapour continuously blankets metal
surfaces to protect them from corrosion.
n Shell VSI 8235 (Concentrate) should be added to the lubricant
contained in the sump or in the oil tank a few hours before the
equipment is stopped. For new pieces of equipment which will
be stored after trial, the lubricant/Shell VSI 8235 (Concentrate)
mixture could be totally or partially drained out after the trial run
provided however, that a small quantity of mixture is kept in the
sump. If the oil temperature remains lower than 25C, the distance
between the upper internal surfaces to be protected and the oil
level in the machine must be less than two metres.
n The anti-corrosion performance of the lubricant/Shell VSI 8235
(Concentrate) mixture and the durability of the protection provided
are dependent on the degree of ventilation of the system and the
oil temperature. The performance can be improved by raising the
oil temperature before stopping the equipment and by sealing the
vents of the machine concerned.
n The internal protection of large oil tanks will be improved by
brushing or spraying the surfaces to be protected with the
lubricant/Shell VSI 8235 (Concentrate) mixture.
n Shell VSI 8235 (Concentrate) has no detrimental effects on the
individual and special properties of the lubricant to which it is
added. The mixture can be used as the service lubricant when the
equipment is returned to or put in operation.
WHEN SHELL VSI 8235 (CONCENTRATE) IS USED AT
2% VOLUME SOLUTION IN THE SYSTEM OIL
OF EQUIPMENT TO BE PROTECTED, IT:
n Enhances the anti-corrosion performance of the lubricant it is
added to.
n Provides corrosion protection of enclosed spaces above the
lubricant level by blanketing the metal surfaces to be protected by
means of volatile corrosion inhibitors.
APPLICATIONS
Shell VSI 8235 (Concentrate) is an oil soluble concentrate that has the
ability to protect steel surfaces which are above the normal oil level
in a system the vapour spaces in an oil storage tank or the oil
reservoir in a circulation system would be examples.
Shell VSI 8235 (Concentrate) is recommended for use in all
enclosed oil lubrication systems where rusting is likely to occur
because of the presence of steam condensate or atmospheric
moisture in the system.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS ARE:
n Oil lubricated rolling bearing and gear housings, reservoirs,
oil piping, and similar circulation system components.
n Machine tool housings where the machines may be idle over
a weekend or for even longer periods of time.
n Steam turbine lubrication systems where corrosion of oil gravity
tanks or oil storage tank walls and overheads is occurring.
n Any machinery that is actually idle or in intermittent use and which
is therefore susceptible to rusting because the oil in use gradually
drains down from internal surfaces.
RECOMMENDED DOSAGE
Shell VSI 8235 (Concentrate) is recommended for use at 2% volume
solution and is added to the existing oil already in the equipment.
It should not be used at higher concentrations as this may result in
equipment damage.
SHELL VSI 8235 (CONCENTRATE)
PROTECTS AGAINST RUSTING IN ENCLOSED VAPOUR SPACES

which are above the normal oil level in a system e.g. the vapour spaces in an oil storage tank or the oil
reservoir in a circulation system.

THERMAL STABILITY AND RESISTANCE TO OXIDATION
n Provides excellent high temperature deposit control and contributes

SUITABILITY FOR CENTRIFUGAL SEPARATORS
n High detergency/low dispersancy formulation releases
contaminants and water readily in centrifugal separators.
APPLICATIONS
Medium-speed industrial or marine propulsion and auxiliary engines,
burning residual fuel oils, which create conditions of moderate oil
stress. These conditions usually occur:
n in engine designs more than ve years old;
n where oil consumption is 1g/kWh or more;
n in newer designs where load factors are predominantly
85% or less; or
n where fuels with sulphur <3% are in use.
n Some medium and high-speed engines burning distillate fuel,
where a high Base Number, high ash lubricant is suitable.
n Marine engine reduction gears and certain other ship-board
applications, where specialist lubricants are not required.
n Medium-speed engines burning residual fuel need very specialised
lubricants. Heavy fuels contaminate the oil with asphaltenes,
requiring special types of detergency to avoid sludges. The
combustion of high sulphur fuels produces sulphur acids, which
cause high wear rates of piston rings and cylinder liners unless
neutralised by a high basicity reserve in the oil. The oil is in service
for very long periods, so centrifugal separators are used to remove
water and combustion contaminants from the oil.

requiring special types of detergency to avoid sludges. The
combustion of high sulphur fuels produces sulphur acids, which
cause high wear rates of piston rings and cylinder liners unless
neutralised by a high basicity reserve in the oil. The oil is in service

ANALYSIS
www.shell.com/marine
By testing the lubricants in your machinery we can reveal critical
information about the health of your equipment, helping you:
n Detect possible future mechanical problems before they occur.
n Avoid unexpected breakdowns and expensive down time.
n Retain the oil charge until it really needs changing.
n Develop a greater understanding of equipment performance.
n Reduce monitoring and maintenance costs.
No wonder Classication Societies, such as Lloyds Register, endorse
regular analysis of used oil as a signicant factor in the long-term
health of machinery.
INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW
Lubricants are an integral part of your engines and machinery. But
their ability to lubricate and clean is heavily dependent on their
condition. And because they are in intimate contact with the most
highly stressed components, lubricants carry a lot of information that
can help you reduce the risk of sudden breakdowns.
The Shell Rapid Lubricants Analyst

FIVE SIMPLE STEPS TO PEACE OF MIND
HOW CLEAN IS YOUR ENGINE OIL?
Shell Marine Products has unique and comprehensive
tests that not only tell you immediately the state of your
engine oil, but can help you save money by extending
the period between oil changes:
INDEX OF CONTAMINATION
Measures the concentration of insoluble soots in diesel
engine oil. Too much, and sludge can form, leading to
excessive wear in engine components.
MERIT OF DISPERSANCY
Measures the ability of the lubricant in a diesel engine
to carry combustion contaminants in suspension. Too
low, and deposits can accumulate in the bottom of
the crankcase leading to problems with lters and/or
purication equipment.
WEAR PARTICLE INDEX
Wear Particle Index (WPI) helps us to tell you more about
your machine, regardless of type. From super clean
hyrdrualic power systems to the hardest working diesel
engines, WPI can make the difference between timely
shut down or costly breakdown.
WPI is derived from a test that measures the amount of
paramagnetic material in a sample.The most common
paramagnetic material found in oil samples from marine
machinery is iron, therefore WPI correlates very closely to
the metallic iron content in a sample regardless of particle
size.
If the WPI increases at a rate greater than normal
compared to Fe by ICP spectroscopy, this indicates
increasing quantities of iron particles with sizes greater
than three microns. This should be taken as a warning that
abnormal wear may be occuring in the machine.
If the WPI increases at a rate less than normal compared
to iron by spectroscopy, this indicates the presence of
non-metallic iron. Corrosion salts and most iron oxides are
non-magnetic.

STORAGE AND HANDLING OF LUBRICANTS
STORING LUBRICANTS
Packages containing lubricants should, whenever possible, be stored
under cover where they will not be exposed to the effects of the weather.
Small packages such as tins should always be kept in covered storage,
as should any package, whatever its size, once it has been opened
and its contents partially used. When the outside storage of unopened
drums is unavoidable, certain simple precautions must be observed.
The drums should preferably be stored on their sides with bungs at
3 oclock and 9 oclock and wooden dunnage or runners should
be used to keep them clear of the ground and to prevent rusting of
the undersides. They should never be stacked directly on a surface
containing clinker, which is particularly corrosive to metal. The
drums at each end of a stack must be securely wedged to prevent
movement. Regular inspection should be carried out with a view to
the detection of leaks and to make sure that identication markings
remain clear and legible.
If, for any reason, drums have to be stored on their ends, they
should be raised off the ground and stored upside down (i.e. with
the bungs at the bottom). Failing this, they should be tilted so that
rain water cannot collect round and submerge the bungs. Water
contamination is undesirable, whatever the grade of lubricant, and
it is not always realised that moisture can enter a drum through what
appears to be a perfectly sound bung.
A drum standing in the open is subjected to the heat of the day and,
of course, cools down again at night. This results in expansion and
contraction of the contents with the effect that the air in the space
above the oil level is subjected, during the day, to slightly higher
than atmospheric pressure and, at night, to slight vacuum. These
changes in pressure may be sufciently great to cause a pumping
action, known as breathing, in which air is forced out the drum
during the day and drawn into it at night. If, therefore, the bungs
through which this breathing takes place are surrounded by water,
some of this water may be sucked into the drum and, in the course
of time, quite considerable quantities may accumulate.
Once the seals have been broken and packages have been opened,
there is always a danger that, unless the packages are kept properly
closed when not in use, impurities such as dust, sand and bre may
enter them. Such contaminants, eventually nding their way into
machinery, can cause damage or abrasion or, by blocking oilways,
can result in a complete breakdown due to lack of lubrication.
An oil drum, or other package, should never be opened by cutting
a large hole in it or by completely removing one end, since, even if
the hole is kept covered by, for example, a wooden or metal lid, the
chances of contamination are greatly increased. Similarly, it is a bad
practice to dip an open container into the oil since, not only does this
allow dust to enter, but the outside of the dipper itself may be dirty.
Drums of oil should, therefore, be placed on their sides on wooden
cradles of convenient height and the oil dispensed by means of a
tap under which a drip tray is placed. Alternatively, a drum may be
stood on its end and the oil withdrawn by means of a hand pump,
the pump intake being inserted into the large bung-hole.
When oil is stored in bulk it is probable that water or condensation
will accumulate and ne dust nd its way into the tanks with the
result that, eventually, a layer of sludge-like material builds up at the
bottom of the tanks and leads, in time, to contamination of the oil.
Consequently, it is advisable to have storage tanks tted with dished
or sloping bottoms provided with drain cocks, which will enable
dregs to be drawn off periodically. Where practicable, bulk storage
tanks should periodically be cleaned out.
Insofar as greases are concerned, the drums must, of necessity, have
a large opening and, to avoid as far as possible the entry of dirt and
water, it is important that the lid or cover should always be replaced
rmly and securely as soon as requirements have been taken.
Extremes of temperature are not good for lubricants. They should not
be stored in any unduly warm place; equally, it is not wise to leave
them for long periods in conditions of extreme cold.
HANDLING LUBRICANTS
The benets of good, clean storage can be largely nullied if a
lubricant becomes contaminated in transit from the store to the
machines. The containers used for transporting lubricants on a site
and for the storage of small working quantities must be kept clean
and should be provided with lids to prevent the entry of dust and
dirt. They should be washed periodically with petrol, care being
taken to mop and dry them before using them again.
Similarly, funnels and other pieces of apparatus must always be kept
scrupulously clean, rags and wipers being used for this purpose.
Cotton waste or woollen rags should not be used as they tend to leave
behind bres which will eventually nd their way into machinery and
impair the ow of oil.
It is advisable to have separate, clearly marked containers of each
grade of oil or grease so the contamination of one with another
does not take place.
Used and dirty oil should be put into special containers and stored
in separate, clearly labelled receptacles unit until disposed of. Every
precaution must be taken to see that used lubricants are not allowed
to contaminate fresh oils and greases.
In general, cleanliness precautions are even more important with
grease than with oil. There is always the chance that impurities in oil
may sink to the bottom of the tank or container out of harms way;
with grease this cannot happen and any grit or other contaminant
which gets into the grease is bound to nd its way into lubricators
and machinery sooner or later.
Grease is more susceptible than oil to the effects of temperature
and temperature cyclings. High temperature or prolonged exposure
to even moderately high temperatures (e.g. tropical sunshine) may
cause oil to separate out with the result that the grease loses some
of its lubricating properties. Petrolatum (petroleum jelly) and certain
types of grease can be made liquid by heating and, on cooling,
will regain their former condition; but these are exceptions and most
greases will be ruined if treated in this way. Never, therefore, heat a
grease to make it uid.
161
The lubrication of machinery should be supervised by a responsible
person and should be made a routine procedure. For instance,
when a machine requires oil-can applications daily, it should
become routine to do this job each morning before commencing
to use the machine. Where grease lubrication is called for weekly,
this should be done, for instance, rst thing Monday morning or last
thing before shutting down for the weekend.
Each operator should know which grades of lubricant are recommended
for the equipment in his/her charge and supplies of the correct lubricants
and the handling equipment should be readily available to him.
As lubricants are dispensed, the quantities should be measured and
a record maintained. Store room records should show the quantities
issued and the records should be kept for each machine or unit. By
this means, regular checks can be made on consumptions and any
marked changes noted. These should be investigated at once.
Increased consumption is quite often the rst sign that a machine is
in need of repair, or that its lubricating system requires adjustments;
on the other hand, it may mean over-lubrication by the operator.
PERSONAL HYGIENE
Shell lubricants are quite safe to use provided ordinary care is taken to
minimise skin contamination and to avoid breathing oil mist or vapours.
However, prolonged improper use can cause dermatitis or other skin
conditions or even, where heavy contamination occurs over many
years, skin cancer.
Those at risk are people who use oils every day over periods of
months or years, not those who work with oils only very occasionally.
The risks can be avoided by carrying out the following simple health
precautions.For advice contact a Poisons Information Centre:

n or a Doctor (at once)
SPECIAL OILS AND COMPOUNDS
The types of oil which have been associated overseas with skin
disorders appear to be those which have been lightly rened and
which contain relatively more polynuclear aromatic compounds. Oils
of this type are used in rubber processing. Particular care should be
taken in these cases.
WHEN WORKING REGULARLY WITH MINERAL OILS
FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE RULES
n REDUCE skin contamination by mineral oils to the minimum and
avoid breathing their mists or vapours.
n PROTECT the skin by using suitable clothing and barrier creams.
n CLEAN the skin thoroughly if contaminated with oil.
n CARE for the skin properly.
n WEAR clean intact clothes.
AVOIDING CONTACT WITH MINERAL OILS
Contact with mineral oils should be kept to a minimum by
using effective splash guards and correct work methods. Good
maintenance should be practised so as to avoid oil-soaked
oors or benches.
Where cutting oils are used, these should be changed at
regular intervals to minimise contamination with abrasive metal
particles or bacteria. To keep circulating oil as free as possible
of abrasive particles, lter and sumps should be regularly
inspected and cleaned out.
Minimise mist and vapour generation. If this cannot be done,
use proper ventilation to keep the breathing zone concentration of
oil mist below the recommended maximum concentration in air of
5mg per cubic metre of air.
PERSONAL PROTECTION
To minimise skin contamination by oils, wear protective gloves
and aprons and suitable outer overalls. Where soluble oil
concentrates are used, wear goggles or face visors.
Protective clothing should be cleaned at regular intervals to
remove oil. It is most important to avoid wearing oil-soaked
clothing, and hands should be cleaned with disposable wipes
which should not be kept in overall or trouser pockets after use.
Gloves can become contaminated on the inside and when
worn again they bring the skin into close and repeated contact
with oil. A system of regular and frequent changing and cleaning
of all protective clothing is the best safeguard.
Where contamination with mineral oils occurs regularly at work,
for example, when using soluble cutting oils with high-speed
machinery, it is necessary to give more rigorous attention to
adequate laundering and regular changes of clothing and
underclothing. To avoid soiling of clean clothing, contaminated
clothing should be stored separately from clean clothing.
CLEANSING THE SKIN
Oil should not be left on the skin for any prolonged period of
time, particularly if mineral oils are used every day at work.
Skin contaminated with oil should be cleaned with mild soap
or suitable hand cleansers at regular intervals, and particularly
at the end of a working day.
Strong soaps and detergents, and abrasive skin cleansers
should be avoided as these themselves can cause skin irritation.
Solvents such as petrol, kerosene, trichloroethane and similar
uids should not be used for cleaning oil off the skin.
BARRIER AND RESTORATIVE CREAMS
The natural oils in the skin which form a protective barrier are
often removed by the regular washing needed in industry. The
natural protective barrier can be replaced to a certain extent
by using a good barrier cream before work and a good
hydrophilic skin cream containing lanoline or vegetable oils
after nally washing the hands at the end of the work period.
CARE OF THE SKIN
Where any sign of irritation or rash appears on the skin,
medical attention should be sought at the earliest opportunity.

VISCOSITY CLASSIFICATIONS
INDUSTRIAL LUBRICANT CLASSIFICATIONS
INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS ORGANISATION (ISO)
VISCOSITY CLASSIFICATION
The ISO viscosity classication uses mm
2
/s units and relates to
viscosity at 40
o
C. It consists of a series of 18 viscosity brackets
between 1.98 mm
2
/s and 1650 mm
2
/s, each of which is dened
by a number. The numbers indicate to the nearest whole number,
the mid-points of their corresponding brackets. For example, ISO
viscosity grade 32 relates to the viscosity bracket 28.8 mm
2
/s to
35.2 mm
2
/s, the mid point of which is 32.0 mm
2
/s. This is illustrated
in the table below, which shows the ISO viscosity grade numbers,
the mid-points of each bracket, and the viscosity limits.
This system is now used to classify all shell industrial lubricating oils
where viscosity is an important criterion in the selection of the oil.

NLGI GREASE CONSISTENCY
CLASSIFICATION
The commonly used grease consistency classication is that
established in the USA many years ago by the National Lubricating
Grease Institute (NLGI). This classies greases solely in terms of
their hardness or softness; no other property or performance level is
taken into consideration.
The classication consists of a series of consistency range, each of
which is dened by a number (or numbers) 000 to 6. The consistency
is dened by the distance in tenths of a millimetre, that a standard
cone penetrates a sample of the grease under standard conditions
at 25C. This system is used to classify Shell industrial greases.
AGMA SPECIFICATIONS FOR GEAR
LUBRICANTS
The American Gear Manufacturers Association (AGMA) have issued
specications and recommendations for gear lubricants used in
various types of gear application. AGMA Standard 250.04 details
specications for rust and oxidation inhibited (R and O) and
extreme pressure (EP) lubricants used in enclosed gear drives.
The viscosity brackets correspond to those given in ASTM D 2422
Standard Recommended Practice for Viscosity System for Industrial
Fluid Lubricants.
Oils marked comp are compounded with 3 to 10% fatty material.
The AGMA Standard 251.02 details specications for three types
of open gear lubricants rust and oxidation inhibited (R and O),
extreme pressure (EP) and residual type gear oils. In this case the
viscosity brackets for the higher viscosity grades are measured at
100C.

AUTOMOTIVE ENGINE OILS
ENGINE OIL LUBRICANT CLASSIFICATIONS
SAE J300 JANUARY 2009 (ENGINE OILS)
The most widely used system for engine oil viscosity classication is
that established by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) in the
USA.
In this system two series of viscosity grades are dened those
containing the letter W and those without the letter W.
Grades with the letter W are intended for use at lower temperatures
and are based on a maximum low temperature viscosity and a
maximum borderline pumping temperature, as well as a minimum
viscosity at 100C. The low temperature viscosity is measured by
means of a multi-temperature version of ASTM D2602 Method of
Test for apparent Viscosity of Motor Oils at Low temperature using the
Cold Cranking Simulator.
Viscosities measured by this method have been found to correlate
with engine speeds developed during low temperature cranking.
Borderline pumping temperature is measured according to ASTM
D3829 Standard Method for Predicting the Borderline Pumping
Temperature of Engine Oil. This provides a measure of an oils ability
to ow to the engine oil pump inlet and provide adequate engine oil
pressure during the initial stages of operation.
Oils without the letter W, intended for use at higher temperatures,
are based on the viscosity at 100C only. These are measured by
ASTM D445 Method of Test for Kinematic Viscosity of temperature
and Opaque Liquids.
A multi-grade oil is one whose low temperature viscosity and
borderline temperature satisfy the requirements of one of the W
grades and whose viscosity at 100C is within the stipulated range
of one-W-grades.

GEAR OILS
SAE J300 (GEAR OILS)
The classication is based on the lubricant viscosity measured at
low and/or high temperatures. The high temperatures values are
determined according to method ASTM D 445. The low temperature
values are determined according to method ASTM D 2983
Method of Test for Apparent Viscosity at Low Temperature using
the Brookeld Viscometer and are measured in mPa.s (c.P).
Multi-grade oil satises the viscosity requirements of one of the W
grades at low temperatures and one of the non-W grades at high
temperature.
It should be noticed that there is no relationship between the SAE
engine oil and gear oil classications. A gear lubricant and an
engine oil having the same viscosity will have widely different SAE
grade designation as dened in the two classications.
This system is used to classify Shell automotive gear lubricants.

AND SPECIFICATIONS
API SERVICE CLASSIFICATIONS
(ENGINE CRANKCASE OILS)
The American Petroleum Institute (API) Engine Service Classication
was developed as a result of a co-operative effort in the USA
between the API, the American Society for Testing and Materials
(ASTM) and the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). The tripartite
was developed to form a means of communication between the
engine manufacturers and lubricants suppliers.
The system denes classes of service for both petrol and diesel
engine applications as well as stipulating the accepted engine
laboratory tests.
The letter S (Service Station Classication) is designated for
spark ignition engines (petrol engines) in passenger cars and
light commercial vehicles. For compression ignition engines
(diesel engines), the letter C (Commercial Classications) has
been designated. The following is a brief summary of the API
classications.
API BASE OIL DEFINITIONS
Group I base stocks contain less than 90% saturates and/or greater
than 0.03% sulphur and have viscosity index greater than or equal
to 80 and less than 120.
Group II base stocks contain greater than or equal to 90% saturates
and less than or equal to 0.03% sulphur and have viscosity index
greater than or equal to 80 and less than 120.
Group III base stocks contain greater than or equal to 90% saturates
and less than or equal to 0.03% sulphur and have viscosity index
greater than or equal to 120.
Group IV base stocks are polyalphaolens (PAO).

CJ-4 Current Introduced in 2006. For high-speed, four-stroke engines designed to meet 2007 model year on-highway
exhaust emission standards. CJ-4 oils are compounded for use in all applications with diesel fuels ranging
in sulfur content up to 500ppm (0.05% by weight). However, use of these oils with greater than 15ppm
(0.0015% by weight) sulfur fuel may impact exhaust aftertreatment system durability and/or oil drain
interval. CJ-4 oils are effective at sustaining emission control system durability where particulate lters and
other advanced aftertreatment systems are used. Optimum protection is provided for control of catalyst
poisoning, particulate lter blocking, engine wear, piston deposits, low and high-temperature stability, soot
handling properties, oxidative thickening, foaming, and viscosity loss due to shear. API CJ-4 oils exceed the
performance criteria of API CI-4 with CI-4 PLUS, CI-4, CH-4, CG-4 and CF-4 and can effectively lubricate
engines calling for those API Service Categories. When using CJ-4 oil with higher than 15ppm sulfur fuel,
consult the engine manufacturer for service interval.

API AUTOMOTIVE GEAR LUBRICANT
SPECIFICATIONS
API SERVICE CLASSIFICATIONS
The most important internationally accepted system dening
automotive gear oil performance characteristics is laid down by the
American Petroleum Institute (API).
API GL-1
Designates the type of service characteristics of automotive
spiral-bevel and worm gear axles and some manually operated
transmissions operating under such mild conditions of low unit
pressures and sliding velocities that a non-additive mineral oil
can be used satisfactorily. Oxidation and rust inhibitors, anti-foam
additives and pour point depressants may be utilised to improve the
characteristics of lubricant for this service. Does not contain friction
modiers and extreme-pressure agents.
API GL-2 (OBSOLETE)
Designates the type of service characteristics of automotive-
type worm gear axles operating under such conditions of load,
temperature and sliding velocities that lubricants satisfying API
GL-1 service will not sufce. Products suited for this type of service
contain anti-wear or very mild extreme pressure agents that provide
protection for worm gears.
API GL-3 (OBSOLETE)
Designates the type of service characteristics of manual
transmissions and spiral-bevel axles operating under moderately
sever conditions of speed and load. These service conditions
require a lubricant having load carrying capacity greater than that
which will satisfy API GL-1 service, but below the requirements of
lubricants satisfying API GL-4 service. Lubricants designated for
this service typically contain additives that are active at the tooth
surface at the temperatures resulting from high-speed or load.
API GL-4 (OBSOLETE)
Designates the type of service characteristics of gears in manual
transmissions operating under sever conditions of sliding speed,
particularly spiral bevel and hypoid gears in moderate service, in
passenger cars and other automotive-type equipment operated
under high speed/low torque and low speed/high torque
conditions.
API GL-5
Designates the type of service characteristics of gears particularly
hypoid, in passenger cars and other automotive equipment
operated under high-speed/shock load, high-speed/low-torque,
and low-speed/high-torque conditions. Equivalent to MIL-L-
2105D, this category is mainly applicable to axles but may also
be used for certain manual transmissions.
NAME STATUS SERVICE
GF-5 CURRENT Introduced in October 2010 for 2011 and older vehicles, designed to provide improved high
temperature deposit protection for pistons and turbochargers, more stringent sludge control,

dispenser to assure the grease remains level as it is pumped.
This avoids the formation of a cavity around the pump pick-up
tube and enables all the grease to be dispensed without
manual levelling from time to time.
Friction
The resisting force encountered at the common boundary
between two bodies when, under the action of an external
force, one body moves or tends to move over the surface of
the other.
Fuel Injection

vehicles, which operates at speeds of 1,250 rpm or more.
HVI
High Viscosity Index, that is, having a viscosity index of
between about 85 and about 115.
Hydrodynamic Lubrication
A system of lubrication in which the shape and relative motion
of the sliding surfaces causes the formation of a uid lm having
sufcient pressure to separate the surfaces. This regime provides
the best lubricating conditions when the two moving surfaces
are completely separated by a relatively thick lm of lubricant.
Hypoid Gear
A system of gears for transmitting motion at an angle in which
the axis of the pinion does not intersect the axis of the main
gear wheel.
