Shell Tellus S2 VX 32 Industrial Hydraulic Fluid for wide temperature range have good stability in the presence of moisture, which ensures long fluid life and reduces the risk of corrosion and rusting, particularly in moist or humid environments.


Long fluid life Maintenance saving Shell Tellus S2 VX fluids help extend equipment maintenance intervals by resisting thermal and chemical breakdown. This minimizes sludge formation and provides excellent performance in the industry standard ASTM D 943 TOST test (Turbine Oil Stability Test), providing better reliability and system cleanliness. Shell Tellus S2 VX fluids also have good stability in the presence of moisture, which ensures long fluid life and reduces the risk of corrosion and rusting, particularly in moist or humid environments. Highly shear stable viscosity modifiers help minimize variations in the fluid properties throughout the fluid drain interval. Outstanding wear protection Proven zinc-based anti-wear additives are incorporated to be effective throughout the range of operating conditions, including low load and severe duty high load conditions. Outstanding performance in a range of piston and vane pump tests, including the tough Denison T6C (dry and wet versions) and the demanding Vickers 35VQ25, demonstrates how Shell Tellus S2 VX fluids can help system components last longer. Maintaining system efficiency The extended temperature range capability of Shell Tellus S2 VX allows efficient operation of mobile equipment from cold start to normal operating conditions. Superior cleanliness, excellent filterability and high performance water separation, air release and anti-foam characteristics all help contribute to maintaining or enhancing the efficiency of hydraulic systems. The unique additive system in Shell Tellus S2 VX, in combination with superior cleanliness (meeting the requirements of max ISO 4406 21/19/16 class, ex Shell filling lines. As recognized by DIN 51524 specification, the oil is exposed to various influences with transport and storage that could effect the cleanliness level) helps reduce the impact of contaminants on filter blocking, allowing both extended filter life and use of finer filtration for extra equipment protection. Shell Tellus S2 VX fluids are formulated for fast air release without excessive foaming to help efficient hydraulic power transfer and minimize fluid and equipment impacts of cavitation-induced oxidation that can shorten fluid life.

Main Applications
Mobile/exterior hydraulic applications
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
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.

For more severe operating conditions, longer fluid life and enhanced efficiency, the Shell Tellus S3 and S4 ranges offer additional performance benefits

  • Shell Tellus S2 VX 32 is formulated for mobile and exterior hydraulic applications, hydraulic and fluid power transmission systems in exposed environments, and precision hydraulic systems. Its high viscosity index enables responsive performance from cold start conditions through full load, severe duty operation, making it well-suited for equipment that experiences wide temperature swings.

  • Shell Tellus S2 VX 32 is compatible with most other mineral oil based hydraulic fluids. However, it must not be mixed with other fluid types such as environmentally acceptable fluids or fire resistant fluids.

  • This fluid is suitable for use with most hydraulic pumps, but you should consult a Shell Representative before using it in any pump containing silver-plated components. It is compatible with seal materials and paints normally specified for use with mineral oils.

  • This fluid meets a broad set of industry specifications including Denison Hydraulics HF-0, HF-1, and HF-2; Cincinnati Machine P-68 (ISO 32); Eaton Vickers M-2950 S and I-286 S; ISO 11158 (HV fluids); DIN 51524 Part 3 HVLP type; ASTM 6158-05 (HV fluids); and AFNOR NF-E 48-603, among others. For a full listing of equipment approvals, consult your local Shell Technical Helpdesk or the OEM Approvals website.

  • Shell Tellus S2 VX 32 has good stability in the presence of moisture, which reduces the risk of corrosion and rusting and helps ensure long fluid life — making it particularly well-suited for mobile equipment and systems operating in moist or humid outdoor environments.

  • The ISO VG 32 grade indicates a relatively light hydraulic oil, and this fluid specifically meets the Cincinnati Machine P-68 specification for ISO 32 applications. If your equipment's OEM specification calls for a different viscosity grade — such as ISO 46 or ISO 68 (covered by Cincinnati Machine P-70 and P-69 respectively) — you should select the corresponding VX grade rather than this VX 32 formulation.
