Shell Tellus Hydraulic Oil Ranges

Shell Tellus S2 M

Shell Tellus S2 M is a proven mineral-oil-based hydraulic fluid designed for general industrial hydraulic applications.

Available viscosity grades include:

• Tellus S2 M 32
• Tellus S2 M 46
• Tellus S2 M 68
• Tellus S2 M 100

Pack sizes available include 5L, 20L, 209L and 1,000L, depending on viscosity and stock availability.

Tellus S2 M is a strong choice for conventional industrial hydraulic systems where dependable wear protection, oxidation resistance and reliable operation are required.

Shell Tellus S2 V

Shell Tellus S2 V is a hydraulic fluid formulated for applications where viscosity characteristics across changing operating temperatures are important.

Available grades include:

• Tellus S2 V 15
• Tellus S2 V 32
• Tellus S2 V 46
• Tellus S2 V 68
• Tellus S2 V 100

Tellus S2 V can be considered for hydraulic equipment exposed to varying temperatures and operating conditions where maintaining appropriate fluid viscosity is important.

Shell Tellus S3 M

Shell Tellus S3 M is a higher-performance hydraulic oil designed for demanding industrial hydraulic applications.

Available grades include:

• Tellus S3 M 32
• Tellus S3 M 46
• Tellus S3 M 68
• Tellus S3 M 100

Tellus S3 M is particularly relevant where equipment manufacturers specify a higher-performance hydraulic fluid and longer oil service performance is required.

Shell Tellus S4

Shell Tellus S4 represents the premium end of the Tellus hydraulic oil range, designed for demanding hydraulic systems and applications requiring advanced fluid performance.

For Tellus S4 products, always confirm the exact product specification and viscosity required by the equipment manufacturer before ordering.

Applications

Shell Tellus hydraulic oils can be used across many industrial and mobile hydraulic applications, subject to the equipment manufacturer's lubricant specification.

Typical applications include:

• Hydraulic presses
• Injection moulding machinery
• Hydraulic power packs
• Manufacturing equipment
• Material-handling equipment
• Hydraulic pumps and motors
• Construction and mobile equipment
• Agricultural machinery
• Industrial production machinery
• General hydraulic systems

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Shell Tellus hydraulic oil?

Shell Tellus is a family of hydraulic fluids developed for lubrication and protection of hydraulic systems. The range includes different formulations and performance levels for different equipment and operating conditions.

What is the difference between Tellus S2 M and S3 M?

They are different performance levels within the Tellus range. The correct choice depends on the hydraulic system requirements, equipment manufacturer's specification and desired fluid performance.

Is Tellus S2 M 46 the same as Tellus S2 M 68?

No. Both are hydraulic oils, but ISO VG 46 and ISO VG 68 have different viscosities. The correct grade should be selected according to the hydraulic system and operating conditions.

Can I mix different Tellus hydraulic oils?

Mixing hydraulic oils should not be assumed to be safe simply because the viscosity grades are the same. Different formulations and additive systems can have compatibility considerations. Ideally, follow the equipment manufacturer's recommendation and confirm compatibility before mixing products.

Which Tellus hydraulic oil do I need?

The best starting point is your equipment manufacturer's specification. If you don't have it, send Lube Line the machine make/model, current hydraulic oil, ISO VG grade and application, and we can help identify a suitable product.
