Shell Tellus S3 V

AN EXTENDED-TEMPERATURE-RANGE, PREMIUM, ASHLESS HYDRAULIC FLUD

Shell Tellus S3 V uses a unique, advanced ashless technology to deliver up to five times longer life, improved pump protection and high efficiency levels. It is intended for operators of hydraulic systems in highly loaded, severe service conditions or where wide ranges of ambient or operating temperatures are encountered. In addition, its reduced environmental impact (low toxicity towards aquatic life) can help progressive operators to manage the environmental impact of their operations.

IMPROVED CLEANLINESS

All Shell Tellus products now meet the demanding cleanliness requirements of the DIN industry standard to help provide extra protection, improved filter performance and less maintenance.

Designed to protect

Protecting components from damage can help to increase service life and maximise your return on investment. Shell Tellus S3 V can help to achieve this by providing

  • up to 97% less wear than the industry minimum requirement
  • up to 53% better protection against viscosity loss for continuing protection and performance throughout the oil’s life.

Designed for long oil life

Limiting fluid degradation can help to prolong oil life. Shell Tellus S3 V is designed to help you operate your equipment for longer without interruption for reduced maintenance requirements and enhanced productivity. In the industry-standard oil life test, Shell Tellus S3 V achieved

  • up to five times longer oil life than the industry minimum.

Designed for high efficiency

A hydraulic fluid needs to protect, lubricate and transmit power efficiently. Shell Tellus S3 V is designed to help maximise productivity by helping equipment to meet or exceed its design capabilities. Compared with the industry minimum requirements, it offers

  • up to 56% faster air release for efficient and precise hydraulic power transmission
  • up to 58% better filterability in the demanding industry-standard wet test procedure, which helps to reduce pressure loss for more efficient operation.

SPECIFICATIONS AND APPROVALS

Shell Tellus S3 V meets the requirements of a wide range of industry bodies and equipment manufacturers. ISO viscosity grades available: 32, 46, 68.

Real-world value delivery

A wide variety of customers has unlocked value by moving to a higher quality hydraulic
fluid. For instance, some have reported that they have

  • extended their oi-drain interval by up to a factor of two for lower maintenance costs
  • increased their hydraulic pump life: repair cost savings of over $120,000 a year have been reported
  • enhanced efficiency through responsiveness and precision of movement from start-up to peak operating temperature.
