Shell Tellus Zinc-Free S3 MX and VX

Omala S4 WE

High-performance, PAG-based full synthetic industrial gear oil for bronze-on-steel worm gears. Uncontrolled oxidation can reduce oil life and lead to sludge, increased viscosity and corrosion, which can cause gear and bearing wear, smaller bearing clearances, plugged lines and blocked filters. Shell Omala S4 WE is a PAG-based fluid with improved resistance to oxidation, which makes it suitable for extended oil-drain intervals and filled-for-life applications.5 In industry standard tests,6 Shell Omala S4 WE has more than 2× longer oil life compared with mineral oils7 and 70% less viscosity increase compared with the DIN industry limit.8
