Inventory Extended Details
Shell Tellus S2 VX fluids are high performance hydraulic fluids based on Group II base oils that provide outstanding protection and performance across a wide range of temperatures. They resist breakdown under heat or mechanical stress and are ideally suited to most mobile equipment and other applications subjected to a wider range of ambient or operating temperatures.
• Mobile/exterior hydraulic systems: Hydraulic and fluid power transmission systems in exposed environments can be subject to wide variations in temperature. The high viscosity index of Shell Tellus S2 VX helps deliver responsive performance from cold start conditions to full load, severe duty operation.
• Precision hydraulic systems require excellent control of fluid viscosity over the operating cycle. Shell Tellus S2 VX provides greater temperature-viscosity stability compared to ISO HM fluids that can help improve the performance of such systems.
• Marine hydraulic systems: Suitable for marine applications where ISO HV category hydraulic fluids are recommended.
• Shell Tellus S2 VX fluids are compatible with most other mineral oil based hydraulic fluids. However, mineral oil fluids should not be mixed with other fluid types (e.g. environmentally acceptable or fire resistant fluids).
• Long Fluid Life – maintenance saving
• Outstanding wear protection
• Maintaining system efficiency
