N/A
Mobile/Exterior Hydraulic Systems - 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 68 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 68 provides greater temperature-viscosity stability compared to ISO HM fluids that can help improve the performance of such systems. Marine Hydraulic Systems - Suitable for marine applications where ISO HV category hydraulic fluids are recommended. |
Features and Benefits |
N/A
Long Fluid Life - Maintenance Saving - Shell Tellus S2 VX 68 helps extend equipment maintenance intervals by resisting thermal and chemical breakdown. This minimizes any harmful sludge formation and provides better reliability and system cleanliness. Shell Tellus S2 VX 68 also has a 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. Higher shear stable viscosity modifiers help minimize variations in the fluid properties throughout the service life of the fluid. Outstanding Wear Protection - Shell Tellus S2 VX 68 is designed to meet the demands of hydraulic systems well in to the future, including enhanced extreme pressure performance in the FZG test (FLS 11 at ISO VG 32). It also demonstrates excellent performance in the tough Denison T6H20C (dry and wet versions) and the demanding Eaton Vickers 35VQ25. Shell Tellus S2 VX 68 can help system components last longer. Maintaining System Efficiency - Excellent filterability and high performance water separation, air release and antifoam characteristics all help contribute to maintaining or enhancing the efficiency of hydraulic systems. Optimization of friction characteristics also helps reduce harmful stick-slip effects. An oil cleanliness particle count of ISO 4406 20/18/15 or better (measured at the point of filling) helps reduce the impact of contaminants on filter blocking, allowing both extended filter life and enhancing equipment protection. Shell Tellus S2 VX 68 is formulated for exceptional foam control and excellent air release to faciliate efficient hydraulic power transfer and minimize fluid and equipment impacts of cavitation induced oxidation that can shorten fluid life. |

N/A
Compatibility - Shell Tellus S2 VX 68 is suitable for use with most hydraulic pumps. Fluid Compatibility - Shell Tellus S2 VX 68 is compatible with most other mineral oil based hydraulic fluids. However, mineral oil hydraulic fluids should not be mixed with other fluid types (e.g. environmentally acceptable or fire resistant fluids). Seal & Paint Compatibility - Shell Tellus S2 VX 68 is compatible with seal materials and paints normally specificied for use with mineral oils. |
