From heavy-duty machinery to enclosed systems that are difficult to maintain, Shell Omala S4 GXV 220 can provide long-lasting, clean lubrication. This advanced-formula synthetic oil is designed for heavy-duty industrial gears that are operating under harsh conditions. It reduces friction and has a high resistance to micro-pitting, making it the ideal choice for wind turbines and other inaccessible installations. Shell Omala S4 GXV 220 is also perfect for the lubrication of bearings and other parts of circulating or splash-lubricated systems.

Long oil life - maintenance saving Shell Omala S4 GXV is formulated using an advanced additive system in combination with specially selected synthetic base fluids to provide outstanding resistance to break down over long durations and/or high-temperature operation. This performance is recognized by Flender AG where a formal approval for 20,000 hours (four years) at 80*C usage has been granted. Shell Omala S4 GXV can operate successfully at bulk temperatures up to 120*C. Shell Omala S4 GXV offers the potential to significantly extend service intervals compared to conventional industrial gear oils. Excellent wear and corrosion protection Shell Omala S4 GXV is formulated to have an excellent load carrying capacity and micro-pitting performance providing long component life even under shock loading conditions. These features provide benefits over mineral oil-based products in terms of gear and bearing component life. Shell Omala S4 GX also has excellent corrosion protection, even in the presence of contamination by water and solids. Maintaining system efficiency Shell Omala S4 GXV can help maintain or enhance the efficiency of industrial gear systems through improved low temperature performance and lower friction in comparison to mineral oil-based products. This provides better lubrication at low start-up temperatures.

Main Applications
Wind turbines and other inaccessible installations Shell Omala S4 GXV is particularly recommended for certain systems where extra long life is required, maintenance is infrequent or systems are inaccessible.

Enclosed industrial gear systems
Recommended for industrial reduction gear systems operating under severe operating conditions, such as high load, very low or elevated temperatures and wide temperature variations.

Other applications
Shell Omala S4 GXV oils are suitable for lubrication of bearings and other components in circulating and splash-lubricated systems.

For highly loaded worm drives the Shell Omala series oils are recommended. For automotive hypoid gears, the appropriate Shell Spirax Oil should be used.

Frequently asked questions

Find answers to common questions about our products and services

  • This oil is specifically recommended for heavy-duty enclosed industrial gear systems, wind turbines, and other inaccessible or difficult-to-maintain installations requiring extra-long service life. It is also suitable for lubrication of bearings and other components in circulating and splash-lubricated systems operating under severe conditions such as high loads, very low or elevated temperatures, and wide temperature variations.

  • Shell Omala S4 GXV 220 can operate at bulk temperatures up to 120°C. It also delivers improved low-temperature performance compared to mineral oil-based products, providing better lubrication at low start-up temperatures.

  • Shell Omala S4 GXV 220 carries a formal approval for 20,000 hours (four years) of use at 80°C from Flender AG, and it offers the potential to significantly extend service intervals compared to conventional industrial gear oils, making it especially valuable for remote or infrequently serviced installations.

  • Compared to mineral oil-based products, this synthetic formulation provides superior micro-pitting resistance, higher load-carrying capacity, better corrosion protection even in the presence of water and solids contamination, lower friction, and improved low-temperature lubrication — all of which contribute to longer gear and bearing component life and reduced maintenance costs.

  • Yes, Shell Omala S4 GXV 220 is approved for wind turbine gearboxes by Gamesa, Dongfang Wind Turbines, Dalian Heavy Industries, and Sinovel. It also holds a Siemens MD approval for Flender gear units and gear motors (T7300) and meets David Brown S1.53.106 requirements (except ISO 1000).

  • No — for highly loaded worm drives, the Shell Omala series oils are recommended instead, and for automotive hypoid gears, the appropriate Shell Spirax Oil should be used. Shell Omala S4 GXV 220 is intended for heavy-duty enclosed industrial gear systems, not these specific gear types.

Key Features

  • Advanced synthetic formulation using an advanced additive system and specially selected synthetic base fluids delivers outstanding resistance to breakdown over long durations and at high temperatures, with Flender AG approval for 20,000 hours (four years) at 80°C and successful operation up to 120°C bulk temperature.

  • High resistance to micro-pitting and excellent load carrying capacity protect gears and bearings from long-term wear even under shock loading conditions, providing longer component life than mineral oil-based products.

  • Excellent corrosion protection is maintained even in the presence of contamination by water and solids, making it well-suited for harsh or inaccessible operating environments.

  • Improved low-temperature performance and lower friction compared to mineral oil-based products help maintain or enhance the efficiency of industrial gear systems and provide better lubrication at low start-up temperatures.

  • Approved for wind turbine gearboxes by Gamesa, Dongfang Wind Turbines, Dalian Heavy Industries, and Sinovel; meets ISO 12925-1 CKD, ANSI/AGMA 9005-E02 (EP), US Steel 224, and DIN 51517-3 (CLP) specifications (except ISO 1000).
