Shell Omala S4 GXV 220 is an advanced synthetic heavy duty industrial gear oil offering outstanding lubrication performance under severe operating conditions, including reduced friction, long service life and high resistance to micro-pitting for optimal gear protection.

Long oil life - maintenance saving Shell Omala S4 GXV 220 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 as been granted. Shell Omala S4 GXV 220 can operate successfully at bulk temperatures up to 120 C. Shell Omala S4 GXV 220 offers the potential to significantly extend service intervals compared to conventional industrial gear oils. Excellent wear and corrosion protection Shell Omala S4 GXV 220 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 GXV also has excellent corrosion protection, even in the presence of contamination by water and solids. Maintaining system efficiency Shell Omala S4 GXV 220 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 220 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 220 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.

  • This oil is designed for enclosed industrial gear systems operating under severe conditions such as high loads, very low or elevated temperatures, and wide temperature variations. It is particularly suited for wind turbines and other inaccessible installations where maintenance is infrequent, and it is also appropriate for bearings and other components in circulating and splash-lubricated systems.

  • Shell Omala S4 GXV 220 can operate at bulk temperatures up to 120°C. Flender AG has also granted a formal approval for 20,000 hours (four years) of operation at 80°C, reflecting the oil's ability to maintain performance under sustained high-temperature use.

  • Shell Omala S4 GXV 220 offers the potential to significantly extend service intervals versus conventional mineral oil-based industrial gear oils, thanks to its advanced synthetic base fluids and additive system that provide outstanding resistance to breakdown over long durations and at elevated temperatures. The Flender AG 20,000-hour approval illustrates this extended-life capability in practice.

  • This oil is approved by Siemens MD for Flender gear units and gear motors (T7300), and meets the David Brown S1.53.106 specification (except ISO 1000). It is also approved for wind turbine gearboxes by Gamesa, Dongfang Wind Turbines, Dalian Heavy Industries, and Sinovel. Industry specifications met include ISO 12925-1 Type CKD, ANSI/AGMA 9005-E02 (EP), US Steel 224, and DIN 51517-3 (CLP) — all except ISO 1000.

  • For highly loaded worm drives, the Shell Omala series oils are recommended — verify compatibility for your specific worm drive application. For automotive hypoid gears, the appropriate Shell Spirax oil should be used instead, as Shell Omala S4 GXV 220 is optimized for industrial enclosed gear and wind turbine applications.

  • The synthetic base fluids deliver improved low-temperature performance and lower friction compared to mineral oil-based products, providing better lubrication at low start-up temperatures and helping maintain or enhance the overall efficiency of industrial gear systems across wide temperature variations.

Key Features

  • Advanced synthetic formulation using specially selected synthetic base fluids and an advanced additive system delivers outstanding resistance to oil breakdown, supporting bulk temperatures up to 120°C for reliable performance in high-temperature and long-duration operation.

  • Formally approved by Flender AG for 20,000 hours (four years) at 80°C, offering the potential to significantly extend service intervals compared to conventional industrial gear oils.

  • Excellent load carrying capacity and high resistance to micro-pitting protect gears and bearings against wear and component damage, even under shock loading conditions.

  • Provides excellent corrosion protection in the presence of water and solid contamination, plus improved low-temperature performance for dependable lubrication at cold start-up temperatures.

  • Recommended for wind turbine gearboxes and enclosed industrial gear systems under severe conditions; approved for wind turbine gearboxes by Gamesa, Dongfang Wind Turbines, Dalian Heavy Industries, and Sinovel, and approved by Siemens MD for Flender gear units (T7300).
