A SPECIAL-APPLICATION HYDRAULIC FLUID FOR ULTRA-LOW TEMPERATURES

Shell Tellus S4 VX features a unique, advanced, ashless technology for extended fluid life and superb wear protection. Moreover, through its specially selected base fluids, it has the widest operating temperature range in the Shell Tellus range, so you can rely on it even at the ultra-low temperatures (as low as –50°C) that are found in Arctic and exposed mining and forestry operations. 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 S4 VX can help to achieve this by providing

• up to 95% less wear than the industry standard to help equipment last longer
• an operating temperature range up to 28% wider than conventional fluids for increased protection at very low temperatures.

Designed for long oil life

Limiting fluid degradation can help to prolong oil life. Shell Tellus S4 VX 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 S4 VX achieved

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

Exceptional cleanliness to help efficiency

Shell Tellus S4 VX achieved virtually deposit-free performance in the demanding Bosch Rexroth A4 VG piston pump test.

Designed for high efficiency

A hydraulic fluid needs to protect, lubricate and transmit power efficiently. Shell Tellus S4 VX is designed to help maximise productivity by helping equipment to meet or exceed its design capabilities. Compared with the industry minimum requirements, it offers

• an extra-low pour point for enhanced low-temperature flow to help ensure start-up under extra-cold conditions
• an extra-high viscosity index for consistent, efficient operation and protection from cold start‑up to normal operating conditions.

SPECIFICATIONS AND APPROVALS

Shell Tellus S4 VX meets the requirements of a wide range of industry bodies and equipment manufacturers. ISO viscosity grades available: 32.

Real-world value delivery

Operators that need to run hydraulic equipment in extreme cold have benefited from the use of Shell Tellus S4 VX because it can help to deliver high levels of

• equipment availability – start-up is easy and maintenance requirements are reduced
• productivity – it delivers responsive operation all year round
• efficiency – energy losses due to pumping hydraulic fluid at low temperatures are controlled.
