Shell Tellus S2 MX 32 Hydraulic Oil is a high performance hydraulic fluid that uses Shell's unique patented technology to provide outstanding protection and performance in most manufacturing and many mobile equipment operations. They resist breakdown under heat or mechanical stress and help prevent damaging deposit formation that can decrease the efficiency of your hydraulic power system.


Long fluid lifeæmaintenance saving Shell Tellus S2 MX 32 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 D943 TOST test (Turbine Oil Stability Test), providing better reliability and system cleanliness. Shell Tellus S2 MX 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. 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 MX 32 fluids can help system components last longer. Maintaining system efficiency Superior cleanliness, excellent filterability and high performance water separation, air release and antifoam characteristics all help contribute to maintaining or enhancing the efficiency of hydraulic systems. The unique additive system in Shell Tellus S2 MX 32, in combination with superior cleanliness (meeting the requirements of ISO 4406 21/19/16 class or better ex Shell plant 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 MX 32 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
Industrial hydraulic systems
With an extensive range of equipment maker approvals and recommendations, Shell Tellus S2 MX 32 fluids are suitable for a wide range of hydraulic power applications found in manufacturing and industrial environments.
Mobile hydraulic fluid power transmission systems Shell Tellus S2 MX 32 fluids can be used effectively in mobile hydraulic power applications such as excavators and cranes, except where significant ambient temperature variations are encountered. For these applications we recommend the Shell Tellus series.

Marine hydraulic systems
Suitable for marine applications where ISO HM category hydraulic fluids are recommended.æSpecifications, Approvals & Recommendations

    Frequently asked questions

    Find answers to common questions about our products and services
    • This hydraulic oil is suited for industrial hydraulic systems in manufacturing environments, mobile hydraulic power applications such as excavators and cranes, and marine hydraulic systems where ISO HM category hydraulic fluids are recommended. However, it is not ideal for mobile applications where significant ambient temperature variations are encountered — for those conditions, a different fluid in the Shell Tellus series would be more appropriate.

    • Shell Tellus S2 MX 32 is compatible with most other mineral oil based hydraulic fluids. However, mineral oil hydraulic fluids must not be mixed with other fluid types such as environmentally acceptable fluids or fire resistant fluids. If you are switching from a different fluid type, the system should be flushed before filling with this product.

    • It is suitable for use with most hydraulic pumps. However, if your system contains pumps with silver plated components, you should consult a Shell representative before using this fluid, as special consideration is required for those applications.

    • This fluid carries approvals and recommendations including Denison Hydraulics HF-0, HF-1, and HF-2; Cincinnati Machine P-68; Eaton Vickers M-2950 S and I-286 S; and Bosch Rexroth. It also meets ISO 11158 (HM fluids), DIN 51524 Part 2 HLP type, ASTM 6158-05 (HM fluids), AFNOR NF-E 48-603, Swedish Standard SS 15 54 34 AM, and GB 111181-1-94 (HM fluids). For additional equipment-specific approvals, the OEM Approvals website or Shell Technical Helpdesk can be consulted.

    • Yes, Shell Tellus S2 MX 32 is compatible with seal materials and paints that are normally specified for use with mineral oils, so it is safe for use in systems built to standard mineral oil specifications.

    • Shell Tellus S2 MX 32 has good stability in the presence of moisture, which helps extend fluid service life and reduces the risk of corrosion and rusting in moist or humid operating conditions. It also features high performance water separation characteristics to help maintain hydraulic system efficiency.
