Shell Tellus S2 VX 46 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.

æ



Long fluid life 5 gallon pails of 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

Frequently asked questions

Find answers to common questions about our products and services

  • This fluid is designed for mobile and exterior hydraulic applications where systems are exposed to wide temperature variations, as well as precision hydraulic systems that require tight viscosity control throughout the operating cycle. It is also well suited for hydraulic and fluid power transmission systems operating in exposed or humid environments.

  • The high viscosity index means the fluid maintains more stable viscosity across a broad temperature range compared to standard ISO HM fluids — delivering responsive performance from cold start conditions all the way through full load, severe duty operation. This makes it particularly advantageous for mobile equipment that regularly transitions between cold start-up and high operating temperatures.

  • Shell Tellus S2 VX 46 is compatible with most other mineral oil-based hydraulic fluids. However, mineral oil hydraulic fluids should not be mixed with other fluid types, such as environmentally acceptable or fire resistant fluids. If you are switching from a non-mineral-oil fluid, a proper flush is recommended before introducing this product.

  • It is suitable for use with most hydraulic pumps, including piston and vane pump types — and it has been tested against demanding benchmarks including the Denison T6C (dry and wet) and the Vickers 35VQ25 pump tests. However, you should consult your Shell representative before using it in pumps that contain silver-plated components.

  • Shell Tellus S2 VX 46 meets a broad range of specifications, including Denison Hydraulics HF-0, HF-1, and HF-2; Cincinnati Machine P-70 (ISO 46); Eaton Vickers M-2950 S and I-286 S; DIN 51524 Part 3 HVLP type; ISO 11158 (HV fluids); ASTM 6158-05 (HV fluids); AFNOR NF-E 48-603; Swedish Standard SS 15 54 34 AM; and GB 111181-1-94 (HV fluids).
