AN EXTENDED-TEMPERATURE-RANGE HYDRAULIC FLUID
Shell Tellus S2 V uses a unique additive technology to deliver an oil life over
twice the industry standards, excellent pump protection and high efficiency levels.
It is a fluid that you can rely on in outdoor or cold environments, as it has been
designed to have a wide operating temperature range.
Engineered to maintain its viscosity and performance over the oil-drain
interval under severe mechanical stress and under hot and humid conditions,
it is the most popular multigrade hydraulic oil in the Shell Tellus range. It is
widely recognised and approved by leading equipment manufacturers.
IMPROVED CLEANLINESS: All Shell Tellus products now meet the demanding cleanliness requirements of the DIN industry
standard to help provide extra protection, improved filter performance and less maintenance.
Designed to protect
Protecting components from damage can help to increase service life and maximise your return on investment. Shell Tellus S2 V can help to
achieve this by providing
n
up to 85% less wear
than the maximum allowed in the industry-standard hydraulic pump tests
n
up to 68% better protection against viscosity loss
for continuing protection and performance throughout the oil’s life.

Designed for long oil life
Limiting fluid degradation can help to prolong oil life. Shell Tellus S2 V is designed to help you operate for longer without interruption – for
reduced maintenance requirements and enhanced productivity. In the industry-standard oil life test, Shell Tellus S2 V achieved
n
two and a half times longer oil life
than the industry minimum.

Specifications and approvals
Real-world value delivery
Shell Tellus S2 V meets the requirements of a wide range of industry bodies and
equipment manufacturers. ISO viscosity grades available: 15, 22, 32, 46, 68, 100.
Shell Tellus S2 V has documented value delivery in both
stationary and mobile hydraulic applications across a
wide range of industries. For instance:
n operators of mobile and exposed plant have
increased operational efficiency
n open-cast mining and cement plants have reduced
maintenance requirements and sludge-formationrelated stoppages by switching from competitor oils
n stationary equipment such as presses have benefited
from the fluid’s greater temperature-related viscosity
stability: one customer has reportedly unlocked
maintenance cost savings of over $20,000 a year1.
