Purpose and Specifications

Shell Tellus S2 MX 46 (product code 550045430) is a premium hydraulic oil in a 20-liter canister, designed for industrial and mobile hydraulic systems like excavators, cranes, and manufacturing equipment. It delivers outstanding protection against wear, resists breakdown from heat and mechanical stress, and prevents damaging sludge buildup to keep your hydraulic power system running efficiently.

This VG 46 oil flows smoothly in temperatures from -36°C pour point up to over 200°C flash point, ensuring reliable performance in cold starts and hot operations. It meets key standards including DIN 51524-2 HLP, ISO 11158 HM, Denison HF-0/HF-1/HF-2, and ASTM D6158-05 HM for broad compatibility.

• Long fluid life: Resists thermal and chemical breakdown, extending maintenance intervals and reducing downtime.
• Superior wear protection: Advanced additives shield pumps and valves from friction and stick-slip.
• System efficiency: Excellent air release and foam control prevent cavitation and power loss.
• Moisture stability: Guards against rust in humid environments.

When to Use / Replace?

Use Shell Tellus S2 MX 46 in most industrial hydraulic setups and mobile equipment where ambient temperatures stay moderate. Ideal for presses, injection molding machines, and construction gear. Replace every 3,000-5,000 operating hours or 12-24 months, depending on system condition, contamination, and manufacturer guidelines - check oil filters and levels regularly to maximize life up to 2 years shelf-stable when stored properly.

Operates best from -20°C to 80°C continuously; monitor for darkening or particles signaling replacement.
