Inventory Extended Details
Shell Omala S4 GX is an advanced synthetic heavy duty industrial gear oil that delivers exceptional lubrication performance under severe operating conditions like high loads, very low or elevated temperatures, wide temperature variations, and inaccessibility. It is particularly recommended for wind turbines and other inaccessible installations where extra long life and infrequent maintenance are required. It is also suitable for enclosed industrial gear systems, including industrial reduction gear systems, circulating and splash-lubricated systems, bearings, and highly loaded worm drives (for which Shell Omala 'W' series oils are recommended).
