Inventory Extended Details
Shell Omala S4 GX is particularly recommended for wind turbines and other inaccessible installations that require extra long life and infrequent maintenance. It is ideal for enclosed industrial gear systems operating under severe conditions like high load, very low or elevated temperatures and wide temperature variations. It is suitable for the lubrication of bearings and other components in circulating and splash-lubricated systems. For highly loaded worm drives, the Shell Omala “W” series oils are recommended. For automotive hypoid gears, the appropriate Shell Spirax Oil should be used.
