High-performance hydraulic fluids based on Group II base oil, for industrial applications. Shell Tellus S2 MX fluids are high-performance hydraulic fluids based on Group II base oils that deliver outstanding protection and performance in most industrial operations and mobile equipment. They resist degradation under demanding temperature and mechanical stress conditions and help prevent the formation of deposits that reduce hydraulic system efficiency
Applications
Industrial hydraulic systemsShell Tellus S2 MX fluids are suitable for a wide range of hydraulic system applications found in manufacturing and industrial environments.
Mobile hydraulic power transmission systemsShell Tellus S2 MX fluids can be used effectively in mobile hydraulic applications such as excavators and cranes, except where significant ambient temperature variations occur. For these applications, we recommend the products in the Shell Tellus S2 VX range.
Marine hydraulic systemsSuitable for marine applications where ISO HM category hydraulic fluids are recommended. Specifications, approvals and recommendations: the product is formulated to meet:
ASTM D6158-05 (HM fluids)For the full list of equipment approvals and recommendations, we recommend consulting the Shell Technical Helpdesk. Compatibility and miscibility
CompatibilityShell Tellus S2 MX fluids are compatible with most types of hydraulic pump
Fluid compatibilityShell Tellus S2 MX fluids are compatible with most mineral oil based hydraulic fluids. However, hydraulic fluids must not be mixed with other fluid types (e.g. environmentally acceptable or fire-resistant fluids).
Compatible with seal materials and paintsShell Tellus S2 MX fluids are compatible with the seal materials and paints normally specified for use with mineral oils.
