Manufacturer's description

Shell Tellus S2 V are high-performance hydraulic fluids that use Shell's unique patented technology to deliver excellent viscosity control under demanding mechanical stress conditions and across a wide temperature range. They provide outstanding protection and operating performance in most mobile equipment, as well as in other applications subject to a wide range of ambient or operating temperatures. ISO VG 68 grade: 68 cSt at 40 °C, 10.5 cSt at 100 °C, viscosity index 142, pour point -30 °C.

Applications

• Mobile / exterior hydraulic applicationsCan be used in hydraulic and power transmission systems subject to wide temperature variations. The high viscosity index of Shell Tellus S2 V delivers outstanding performance from cold start to full-load operation under arduous conditions.
• Precision hydraulic systems require excellent fluid viscosity control throughout the operating cycle. Shell Tellus S2 V offers greater temperature-viscosity stability compared with ISO HM fluids, which — together with air release and anti-foam performance — all contribute to maintaining and increasing hydraulic system efficiency and improving the performance of these systems. For severe operating conditions, longer service life and increased efficiency, the Shell Tellus "S3" and "S4" ranges offer additional benefits and performance.
• * The dielectric strength value applies only at the "point of manufacture", at an authorised Shell production facility. As with all hydraulic fluids, contamination with water or particles leads to a reduction in dielectric strength.
• Precision hydraulic systems: Precision hydraulic systems require excellent fluid viscosity control throughout the operating cycle. Shell Tellus S2 V offers greater temperature-viscosity stability compared with ISO HM fluids, which helps

Performance & benefits

• Long service life – reduced maintenanceShell Tellus S2 V fluids help extend equipment maintenance intervals through their resistance to thermal and chemical breakdown. This minimises deposit formation and delivers excellent performance in the industry-standard ASTM D943 TOST (Turbine Oil Stability Test), providing good system reliability. Shell Tellus S2 V fluids also have good stability in the presence of moisture, which ensures a long fluid life and reduces the risk of corrosion and rusting, particularly in humid environments. The high shear stability of the viscosity modifiers helps minimise property variation throughout the fluid drain interval.
• Outstanding wear protectionZinc-based anti-wear additives are incorporated to ensure proven effectiveness under all operating conditions, including low-load and heavy-load conditions. Outstanding performance in a series of piston and vane pump tests, including the Denison T6C test (dry and wet versions) and Vickers 35VQ25, demonstrates how Shell Tellus S2 V fluids can help system components last longer.
• Maintaining system efficiencyThe wide operating temperature range of Shell Tellus S2 V allows mobile equipment to operate efficiently from cold start through to normal operating conditions. Superior cleanliness characteristics, excellent filterability and high water separation performance contribute to this. The unique additive system in Shell Tellus S2 V, combined with a superior degree of cleanliness (meeting the requirements of ISO 4406 21/19/16, e.g. at Shell filling lines; as recognised by the DIN 51524 specification, the oil is exposed to various influences during transport and storage that may affect its cleanliness level), helps reduce the impact of contaminants on filter blocking, allowing both extended filter life and the use of finer filtration to protect equipment. Shell Tellus S2 V fluids are formulated to ensure rapid air release without excessive foaming, to help transfer hydraulic power efficiently and minimise the impact on fluids and equipment of cavitation-induced oxidation, which can shorten fluid life.
