Shell Tellus Oils High performance hydraulic oil Shell Tellus Oils are premium quality, solvent refined, high viscosity index mineral oil based fluids generally acknowledged to be the ‘standard-setter’ in the field of industrial hydraulic and fluid power lubrication. Performance Features
• Low friction Shell Tellus Oils possess high lubrication properties and excellent low friction characteristics in hydraulic systems operating at low or high speed. Helps prevent stick-slip problems in critical applications enabling very fine control of machinery.
• Thermal stability Thermally stable in modern hydraulic systems working in extreme conditions of load and temperature. Shell Tellus Oils are highly resistant to degradation and sludge formation therefore improving system reliability and cleanliness.
• Excellent air release and anti-foam properties Careful use of additives to ensure quick air release without excessive foaming. Quick air release helps minimise cavitation and slow oxidation, maintaining system and fluid performance.
• Oxidation resistant Resist oxidation in the presence of air, water and copper. Turbine Oil Stability Test (TOST) results show outstanding performance for Shell Tellus Oils; low acidity, low sludge formation, low copper loss; therefore helping to extend oil drain interval life and reduce maintenance costs.
• Good water separation Good water separation properties (demulsibility). Helps resist the formation of water-in-oil emulsions, to help avoid consequent hydraulic system and pump damage.
• Hydrolytic stability Shell Tellus Oils have good chemical stability in the presence of moisture, which ensures long oil life and helps to reduce the risk of corrosion and rusting.
• All round versatility Shell Tellus Oils are suitable for a range of other industrial applications.
• Outstanding anti-wear performance Proven anti-wear additives are incorporated to be effective throughout the range of operating conditions, including low and severe duty high load conditions. Outstanding performance in a range of piston and vane pump tests; including the tough Denison T6C (dry and wet versions) and the demanding Vickers 35VQ25.
Applications
• Superior filterability Shell Tellus Oils are suitable for ultrafine filtration, an essential requirement in today’s hydraulic systems. Unaffected by the usual products of contamination, such as water and calcium, which are known to cause blockage of fine filters. Customers can use finer filters, therefore achieving all the benefits of having in use cleaner fluids.

Shell Tellus Oils T Premium hydraulic oil for wide temperature ranges Premium performance, anti-wear hydraulic oils which incorporate a special viscosity index improver additive to enhance their viscosity/temperature characteristics. Specifications, Approvals and Recommendations
Performance Features
• Very low viscosity variation with temperature Special viscosity index technology minimises the oil’s variation in viscosity with changes in temperature and provides good pumpability at low temperatures. These features are particularly beneficial in hydraulic applications subjected to extremes of temperature.
Shell Tellus Oils T meets the performance requirements of: ISO 11158 HV Type. Shell Tellus Oils T have the following approvals: CINCINNATI P-68 (ISO 32) CINCINNATI P-70 (ISO 46) CINCINNATI P-69 (ISO 68) DENISON HF-0 DENISION HF-1 DENISION HF-2 Eaton (Vickers) M-2950 S Eaton (Vickers) I-286 S Shelll Tellus Oils T meet the requirements of: ISO 11158 AFNOR NF-E 48-603
• High shear stability The ‘VI’ improver type is highly resistant to mechanical stress. • Outstanding anti-wear performance Proven anti-wear additives are effective in all operating conditions, including low and severe duty, high load situations. • Excellent filterability Minimal tendency to cause filter blockage in the presence of contaminants such as water and calcium.
Compatibility and Miscibility Compatibility The anti-wear additive technology used in Shell Tellus Oils T is based upon zinc which, although ideal for most hydraulic pumps, should not be used in those of older design containing silver-plated components. Shell Tellus Oils S should be used for these applications.
• Oxidation resistant Helps resist the formation of acidic products and sludge, even at high working temperatures. • Corrosion protection Provides long term protection against corrosion of both ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
Applications
• Hydraulic and fluid power transmission systems subjected to wide variations in temperature or where low viscosity change with fluctuating temperature is required. Certain critical hydraulic systems can only tolerate small variations in viscosity with fluctuating temperature if efficiency and responsiveness are to be maintained. Hydraulic oils, such as Shell Tellus Oil T, which exhibit multigrade viscosity characteristics may be used to particular advantage in these circumstances.

Shell Tellus Oils S Zinc-free hydraulic oils for severe duty Shell Tellus Oils S are ‘top-tier’, anti-wear hydraulic oils formulated to be the ultimate ‘high reference oil’ in the hydraulics industry. Based on advanced ‘zinc and chlorine free’ technology, Shell Tellus Oils S are formulated to ensure exceptional performance in hydraulic fluid power transmission systems subjected to severe duty. Performance Features
carried out until at least 10mg weight loss is recorded between the stages, or until the gears appear scuffed. Shell Tellus Oil S achieves an 10th Fail stage.
• Outstanding oil life Typically two to four times that of many anti-wear hydraulic oils. • Peace of mind Through longer component life and outstanding operation. • Lower ecological impact Zinc and chlorine free formulations unique to Shell.
Thermal stability • An oil’s thermal stability is the measure of its ability to resist degradation and attack of metals at high temperature. An accelerated test for this is to maintain the oil at a temperature of 135°C for one week in the presence of steel and copper. • Tests with Shell Tellus Oils S show negligible weight changes of the metals, whilst the steel remains bright and there is only slight discolouration of the copper; many anti-wear hydraulic oils cause the copper to become black.
Many piston pumps utilise brass components and in particular brass slippers which fit onto the heads of steel pistons and slide on a steel surface. These bronze slippers are usually the items of wear and an oil’s performance is normally evaluated by the weight loss of bronze and the loosening of the fit on the pistons, referred to as ‘slipper fit’. Many anti-wear hydraulic oils permit either considerable wear, if the pumps are highly loaded, or in extreme cases result in pump failure by the slippers detaching themselves from the pistons. Shell Tellus Oils S give extremely low wear rates of the brass components in the Denison P-46 pump; the most severe standard industry test for this performance aspect. FZG gear rig test • Gear rig tests are sometimes used for evaluating hydraulic oils and the best known is the FZG rig (Forschungsstelle für Zahnräder und Getriebebau – Technical Institute for the study of Gears and Drive Mechanisms). The rig utilises a pair of specially designed case-hardened spur gears and, for hydraulic oils, it is run at a pitch line velocity of 8.3 m/s, with an oil temperature of 90°C. The test is carried out by running the gears for 15 minutes in the test oil the weighing the gears, after which the machine is reassembled and the load increased. This procedure is

Hydrolytic stability • Hydrolytic stability indicates the extent to which an oil tends to develop acidity in the presence of copper and water at high temperatures. The test for hydrolytic stability not only evaluates the acidity developed in the water present, and is also regarded as giving an indication of an oil’s suitability for use with copper alloy parts. It is a stringent test in which many good anti-wear hydraulic oils perform poorly, but in which Shell Tellus Oils S give outstanding results. • In the hydrolytic stability test, oil, water and copper are sealed in a bottle and rotated for 48 hours in an oven at 93°C. At the end of the test, the oil and water layers are separated and the insolubles weighed. The change in weight of the copper is also measured and the oil viscosity and acid numbers of both the oil and the water are determined. • Results of the tests with Shell Tellus Oils S are excellent. They show negligible copper weight loss and very small changes in acid values of oil and water.

Oil seal and paint compatibility The compatibility of an oil with seals used in hydraulic systems can be evaluated by numerous tests usually relating to the ‘swell’ characteristics. The properties of the base oil mainly influence oil seal and paint compatibility, whilst additives have little effect. Shell Tellus Oils S are compatible with all seal materials and paints normally specified for use with mineral oils.

Shell Naturelle HF-E 46 and 68 are environmentally acceptable hydraulic fluids based on synthetic esters and can be used where ISO 15380 or VDMA 24568 HEES fluids are specified. Shell Naturelle HF-E 46 meets the environmental requirements of Swedish Standard SS 15 54 34 and are SP-Listed. Shell Naturelle HF-E 46 and 68 are on the ‘Positivliste’ and qualify for funding under the German ‘Marketing Introduction Programme’ for biolubricants. Shell Naturelle HF-E has Eaton Vickers M-2950 S and I-286 S approval. The improved anti-wear properties, and naturally high viscosity index (VI) of Naturelle Fluids HF-E, means that they can often be used where ISO 11158 (HM/HV) and DIN 51524 Part 2 or Part 3 (HLP/HVLP) mineral oil hydraulic fluids are specified. However, bulk fluid operating temperatures should not be allowed to exceed 90°C and optimum fluid life will be realised if operating temperatures are maintained at approximately 55°C.

Compatibility and Miscibility
Seal and Paint Compatibility
Shell Naturelle HF-E is miscible with conventional mineral oil based hydraulic oils in all proportions. However, in order to ensure that the environmental properties and performance are maintained, the system should be drained and flushed prior to change over to Shell Naturelle HF-E. Owing to the surface wetting properties of Shell Naturelle HF-E, if systems were previously operated using a mineral oil hydraulic fluid, deposits formed in the system during operation may be loosened and deposited in system filters. The filters should therefore be checked at regular intervals after fluid changeover.
Shell Naturelle HF-E is compatible with all seal materials and paints normally specified for use with petroleum mineral oils. Certain plastics and industrial adhesives may be adversely affected and advice should be sought from the respective manufacturers.

Shell Irus Fluid C HFC type fire-resistant hydraulic fluid Shell Irus Fluid C is an advanced water-glycol fire resistant hydraulic fluid containing powerful additives to enhance its anti-wear, anti-corrosion and anti-oxidation properties. The water content is approximately 40% by weight. Compatibility and Miscibility
Performance Features
• Fire resistant for high risk installations As demonstrated in the 7th Luxembourg Report fire resistance tests the product contributes significantly to reduce the fire risk both in presence of flame and hot surfaces due to fire resistance properties. • Excellent components and fluid duration Reliable operation especially compared with fluids of older technologies. • Improved wear performances against minimum industry standard As demonstrated in the vane pump testing required by the 7th Luxembourg Report the product offers significantly better anti-wear performances than the minimum required by the standard.
Lubrication and component Life In general, water-glycol fluids are less effective bearing lubricants than petroleum mineral hydraulic oils, but are entirely satisfactory in systems containing pumps with plain bearings or lightly loaded ball and roller bearings. However, in common with other water-based fluids a reduction in bearing life can be expected. This will normally be included in the ‘derating’ made by the pump manufacturer. In order to increase as much as possible the reliability of the system and reduce its maintenance costs is important that all components are checked with their manufacturer on whether they are suitable/ compatible with water glycol products.
Additional Information
Applications
Shell Irus Fluid C is particularly suitable for demanding hydraulic applications where there is a high fire risk, such as those found in the Mining and Metal Processing industries. In order to reduce the water evaporation Shell Irus Fluid C, as for all the ISO HFC type of fluids, should be used below 55°C with a suggested maximum temperature of 45°C.
Control of water content Water content should be controlled within 35% to 45% by weight. Condensate or de-ionized water should be used for any additions, which should be made slowly whilst the fluid is circulating.

>12 >12
Applications
Shell Omala Oils are formulated using high viscosity index, solvent refined, base oils and incorporate a special sulphurphosphorus additive to provide an extreme pressure performance which allows excellent application in the following areas:
• Water shedding properties Shell Omala Oils also have excellent water separation properties, such that excess water can be drained easily from lubrication systems. Water can greatly accelerate surface fatigue with gears and bearings as well as promoting ferrous corrosion on internal surfaces. Water contamination should therefore be avoided or removed as quickly as possible after the occurrence.
• Steel gear transmissions • Industrial gear drives where a full EP performance is required • Bearings • Circulating and splash lubricated systems For automotive hypoid gears, the appropriate Shell Spirax Oil should be used, as the Shell Omala Oils are not designed for this purpose.
• Excellent load carrying capacity Helps to reduce gear tooth and bearing wear on both steel and bronze components. The load carrying capacity of Shell Omala Oils, as determined in laboratory tests, is significantly better than that of leaded gear oils. Gear tooth wear is reduced, particularly under conditions of high load.

Shell Omala Oil JM Emulsifiable gear oil for wet environments Shell Omala Oil JM is specially formulated using high quality base stocks, a shear stable dispersant type viscosity index improver and a premium sulfur-phosphorous additive package which provides both extreme pressure and anti-wear properties. The dispersant can help the oil tolerate up to 40% water and work with the additives to pass stage 13 in the FZG test. Furthermore, the additive package is non-corrosive to gear and bearing materials such as steel, copper, bronze, brass, babbit or cadmium-nickel. Whereas most gear oils are formulated to separate water, Shell Omala Oil JM will not separate from water even after 48 hours in the ASTM D1401 demulsibility test. Applications
Performance Features
In some applications, gear oils are exposed to high levels of water contamination and it is not possible to dry the oil while it is in service. The presence of free water can lead to rapid gear wear due to lack of lubrication; it can also promote rust formation. Shell Omala Oil JM helps reduce the adverse effects of water by forming a stable emulsion with the free water and providing a continuous oil film on the heavily loaded parts. It is recommended for use in the following applications: • Any gear oil application where an ISO 460 viscosity grade is appropriate. • Any gearset that is operating under heavy shock load conditions and especially one where high levels of water contamination are present and can’t be controlled or removed from the gearboxes in any other way. • Especially useful in the cutter head gears and crawler drives of continuous mining machines. • Spur, bevel, herringbone and worm gear designs in mill, mining and mobile equipment applications calling for ANSI/AGMA Lubricant No. 7 EP. • Where U.S. Steel No. 224 lubricants are specified.

Shell SMC Lubricant High performance, semi-synthetic non-bitumastic sugar mill lubricant Shell SMC Lubricant is a high performance, semi-synthetic, non-bitumastic viscous lubricant specifically developed to satisfy the demands of heavily loaded slow rotating journal bearings. Shell SMC Lubricant is formulated to minimise brass bearing and steel roller wear and maintain normal bearing temperatures under extreme operating conditions. Shell SMC Lubricant incorporates synthetic thickeners and high viscosity mineral oils blended with extreme pressure additives to give a modern high performance sugar mill brass bearing lubricant. Performance Features
• Bearing protection Very high viscosity for greater film strength and lower tendency to squeeze out in highly loaded and slowly rotating sugar mill brass bearings and rollers.
• High viscosity The very high viscosity of Shell SMC Lubricant has been achieved by combining synthetic thickeners and high viscosity mineral oils. The use of synthetic thickeners has also produced a lubricant with a high viscosity index which provides good pumpability at low temperatures while maintaining high viscosity at elevated temperatures.
• Protect equipment better Resists water and juice washout due to the very high viscosity and tenacity of the lubricant. • Prolong equipment life Excellent load carrying performance provides superior brass bearing wear protection and maintains normal bearing temperatures during extreme operating conditions.
• Extreme pressure performance The high viscosity base oils are combined with extreme pressure additives to give a lubricant with very high film strength and load carrying performance needed for the protection of sugar mill brass bearings and rollers.
• Ease of use Suitable for application via lubrication equipment previously used to apply bitumastic lubricants. • Reduce disposal problems associated with bitumen coating lubricants.
• Pumpability Shell SMC Lubricant can be applied in lubrication equipment previously used for bitumastic lubricants, e.g. Farval, Wakefield, Tecalamit, Lincoln etc. The viscous oil nature of the lubricant allows it to be gravity fed into sugar mill centralised lubricators if required.

Shell Sugar Mill Oil High performance, semi-synthetic non-bitumastic sugar mill brass lubricant Shell Sugar Mill Oil is a high performance, semi-synthetic, non-bitumastic viscous oil lubricant specifically developed for sugar mill brass bearing lubrication. Shell Sugar Mill Oil incorporates synthetic thickeners and high viscosity mineral oils blended with extreme pressure additives and molybdenum disulphide solids to give a modern high performance sugar mill brass bearing lubricant. Shell Sugar Mill Oil is formulated to minimise brass bearing and steel roller wear and maintain normal bearing temperatures under extreme operating conditions. Performance Features
• Resistance to Corrosion As Shell Sugar Mill Oil is a viscous oil lubricant, it can be applied in lubrication equipment previously used for bitumastic lubricants. The viscous nature of the lubricant allows it to be gravity fed into sugar mill centralised lubricators if required. • Very high viscosity for greater film strength and lower tendency to squeeze out in highly loaded and slow rotating sugar mill brass bearings and rollers. • Excellent load carrying performance to minimise brass bearing wear and maintain normal bearing temperatures during extreme operating conditions. • Suitable for application via lubrication equipment previously used to apply bitumastic lubricants. • Potential cost savings via usage reduction over conventional bitumastic lubricants. • Can also be used on sugar mill pinion gears where rationalisation of lubricants is a priority – consult Shell for application advice. • Reduce disposal problems associated with bitumen containing lubricants.
• High Viscosity The very high viscosity of Shell Sugar Mill Oil has been achieved by combining synthetic thickeners and high viscosity mineral oils. The use of synthetics has also produced a lubricant with high viscosity index for good pumpability at low temperatures while maintaining high viscosity at elevated temperatures. • Extreme Pressure Performance The base oils and thickeners are combined with extreme pressure additives and molybdenum disulphide solids to give a lubricant with very high film strength and load carrying performance needed for the protection of sugar mill brass bearings and rollers. The molybdenum disulphide additive is incorporated to provide a solid lubricant film on the bearing surfaces, while the extreme pressure additives will help minimise wear and high bearing temperatures during arduous operating conditions. Both additives contribute to lower usage rate and therefore reduce lubricant costs.

Shell Corena Oil AP Advanced synthetic lubricant for reciprocating air compressors Shell Corena Oil AP is an advanced reciprocating air compressor lubricant and is based on specially selected synthetic ester fluids. It incorporates the latest additive technology to provide outstanding performance. Performance Features
• Excellent water separation properties Separates readily from water preventing accelerated corrosion and facilitating separation from condensate.
• Outstanding performance Developed specifically for heavy duty reciprocating air compressors. This includes reciprocating air compressors subjected to overloading, intermittent or continuous operation. Shell Corena Oil AP is designed to provide safe, reliable and effective lubrication for extended service periods where mineral compressor lubricants are unsatisfactory.
Applications • Reciprocating air compressors All industrial reciprocating air compressors, in particular up to and above air discharge temperatures of 220°C with continuous high delivery pressures.
• Extended service intervals The extreme low tendency for deposit build-up ensures continued high compressor performance over long periods. It enables the normal valve maintenance period, typically between 250 and 1000 hours of operation using conventional mineral oils, to be extended to 2000, or even 4000 hours.
• Breathing air compressors Shell Corena Oil AP may be used in breathing air compressors, provided subsidiary clean-up apparatus is used to ensure that the air produced is fit for breathing. Advice on applications not covered in this handbook may be obtained from your Shell representative.
• Safety for air lines The absence of deposit formation has a very important safety-related benefit. In discharge air-lines, the combination of rust particles, dispersed in carbonaceous deposits, coupled with heat from recently compressed air, can cause an exothermic reaction leading to the possibility of fires and explosion. Shell Corena Oil AP helps to minimise the likelihood of this danger arising.

Shell Turbo Oils T High quality industrial steam and gas turbine oil Shell Turbo Oil T has long been regarded as the industry standard turbine oil. Building on this reputation, Shell Turbo T oils have been developed to meet the demands of the most modern non-geared steam turbine systems and light duty gas turbines. Shell Turbo T oils are formulated from high quality hydrotreated base oils and a combination of zinc-free additives that provide excellent oxidative stability, protection against rust and corrosion, low foaming and excellent demulsibility. Performance Features
• Resistant to reaction with ammonia The use of highly refined base oils and specific additives, resistant to attack by ammonia, minimises the possibility of damaging oil soluble/insoluble ammonia compounds being formed in the lubricant. Shell Turbo Oils T mitigates the formation of these deposits, which could impair the reliable operation of bearings and seal oil systems.
• Strong control of oxidation The use of inherently oxidatively stable base oils together with an effective inhibitor package provides high resistance to oxidative degradation. The result is extended oil life, minimising the formation of aggressive corrosive acids, deposits and sludge, helping to reduce your operating costs. • High resistance to foaming and rapid air release The oils are formulated with a nonsilicone anti-foam additive, which generally controls foam formation. This feature coupled with fast air-release from the lubricant reduces the possibility of problems such as pump cavitation, excessive wear and premature oil oxidation, helping to give you increased system reliability.
Applications
Shell Turbo T oils are available in ISO grades 32, 46, 68 and 100 suited for application in the following areas: • Non-geared industrial steam turbines • Non-geared light duty gas turbines • Water turbine lubrication • Compressor applications • Numerous applications where strong control over rust and oxidation is required.
• Positive water-shedding properties Robust demulsibility control such that excess water, common-place in steam turbines, can be drained easily from the lubrication system, minimising corrosion and premature wear and lowering the risk of unplanned maintenance.

Shell Turbo Oil GT 32 High performance industrial gas turbine lubricant Shell Turbo Oil GT 32 has been developed for the most severe operating conditions imposed by modern, heavy duty industrial gas turbines. Performance Features
Applications
• Outstanding oxidation stability The lubricant’s service life depends, to a great extent, on its oxidative stability. Excellent results in both the ‘hot oxidation test’ (FTM5308) and the ‘TOST’ life test (ASTM-D943) clearly demonstrate Shell Turbo Oil GT 32’s potential for extended service life compared to conventional mineral oil technology.
• Power and industrial heavy duty gas turbines Shell Turbo Oil GT 32 is used as lubricating oil for main shaft bearings and mechanical gears as well as governor oil in the turbine control valves in modern gas turbines. • Further industrial applications Shell Turbo Oil GT 32 may also be used for other industrial applications requiring a high performance gas turbine oil, like lubrication of turbo compressors Advice on applications not covered in this handbook may be obtained from your Shell Representative.
• Excellent thermal stability Higher bearing temperatures which are particularly severe during stop/start cycling conditions, may lead to bearing deposits and the formation of harmful sludge in the system which subsequently may result in expensive ‘downtime’ and reduce service life of system components. Shell Turbo Oil GT 32 is formulated to give greater protection against thermal degradation and may hence significantly contribute to lower operating and maintenance costs.
Specifications, Approvals and Recommendations
• Excellent air release characteristics Effective air release with a minimum of foaming tendency as required by modern gas turbines.

Shell VSI 8235 (Concentrate) Protects against rusting in enclosed vapour spaces
• Shell VSI 8235 (Concentrate) contains polar materials which are both oil soluble and also volatile. Thus, as Shell VSI 8235 (Concentrate) is in circulation, the vapour spaces in a system are continuously kept filled with the VSI vapour which is formed by these inhibitors and this vapour continuously blankets metal surfaces to protect them from corrosion. • Shell VSI 8235 (Concentrate) should be added to the lubricant contained in the sump or in the oil tank a few hours before the equipment is stopped. For new pieces of equipment which will be stored after trial, the lubricant/Shell VSI 8235 (Concentrate) mixture could be totally or partially drained out after the trial run provided however that a small quantity of mixture is kept in the sump. If the oil temperature remains lower than 25°C, the distance between the upper internal surfaces to be protected and the oil level in the machine must be less than two metres. • The anti-corrosion performance of the lubricant/Shell VSI 8235 (Concentrate) mixture and the durability of the protection provided are dependent on the degree of ventilation of the system and the oil temperature. The performance can be improved by raising the oil temperature before stopping the equipment and by sealing the vents of the machine concerned. The internal protection of large oil tanks will be improved by brushing or spraying the surfaces to be protected with the lubricant/ Shell VSI 8235 (Concentrate) mixture. • Shell VSI 8235 (Concentrate) has no detrimental effects on the individual and special properties of the lubricant to which it is added. The mixture can be used as the service lubricant when the equipment is returned to or put in operation.
When Shell VSI 8235 (Concentrate) is used at 2% volume solution in the system oil of equipment to be protected, it: • Enhances the anti-corrosion performance of the lubricant it is added to; • Provides corrosion protection of enclosed spaces above the lubricant level by blanketing the metal surfaces to be protected by means of volatile corrosion inhibitors.
Applications
Shell VSI 8235 (Concentrate) is an oil soluble concentrate that has the ability to protect steel surfaces which are above the normal oil level in a system – the vapour spaces in an oil storage tank or the oil reservoir in a circulation system would be examples. Shell VSI 8235 (Concentrate) is recommended for use in all enclosed oil lubrication systems where rusting is likely to occur because of the presence of steam condensate or atmospheric moisture in the system. Typical applications for them are: • Oil lubricated rolling bearing and gear housings, reservoirs, oil piping, and similar circulation system components. • Machine tool housings where the machines may be idle over a weekend or for even longer periods of time. • Steam turbine lubrication systems where corrosion of oil gravity tanks or oil storage tank walls and overheads is occurring. • Any machinery that is actually idle or in intermittent use and which is therefore susceptible to rusting because the oil in use gradually drains down from internal surfaces. Recommended Dosage Shell VSI 8235 is recommended for use at 2% volume solution and is added to the existing oil already in the equipment. It should not be used at higher concentrations as this may result in equipment damage.

Shell Gas Seal Oil Oil sealant for gas accumulators in steel blast furnaces Shell Gas Seal Oil is a high performance gas seal oil and accumulator oil with excellent demulsibility for use in steel blast furnace gas holder tanks. Formulated from high quality, mineral base oils, viscosity index improvers and demulsifiers, the product acts to protect the bottom seal canvas. Performance Features Excellent water separability A critical requirement of the product is its ability to separate water in the gas accumulator. The rapid demulsibility and resistance to emulsion formation, leads to rapid separation of water and condensation from the oil and accumulator. High viscosity index Provides effective gas sealing behaviour at temperatures in excess of 50ºC. Ensures that if there are ambient temperature variations due to tank placement, optimal sealing is maintained irrespective of tank skin temperature. Additional information Some older gas accumulators are sealed using coal tar which is a disadvantage from a health and safety perspective. The use of high quality, low PCA containing base oils overcomes such issues.

The low volatility and excellent oxidation stability of the base oil are such they give an excellent service life in bearings operating between –20°C and 150°C. With caution, Shell Stamina Grease RL 2 may, in some circumstances, be used at temperatures up to 180°C, but only if the re-lubrication period is suitably adjusted.
• Corrosion Protection When a bearing is running, most high quality greases can maintain an adequate lubricating film even when the grease is loaded with water. However when the grease bearing is idle, corrosion may occur causing pitting which can be destructive. Shell Stamina Grease RL 2 are formulated with corrosion inhibitors to help protect bearing surfaces even when the grease is contaminated with water. The lubrication properties of Shell Stamina Grease RL 2 have been used very successfully in slow moving, loaded large bearings such as those found in continuous casters in steel plants.
Applications
Shell Stamina Grease RL 2 is particularly recommended for use in high temperature (150°C), lightly loaded industrial bearings. It is recommended for use where long operational life and extended re-greasing intervals are an important consideration.
Operating Temperature Range • Shell Stamina Grease RL 2 –20°C to 150°C
Re-lubrication
Grease life varies considerably from application to application, even with bearings operating under normally identical conditions. Variables such as air flow, dirt and humidity can have a considerable effect in addition to the more commonly recognised parameters of load, speed and temperature. The use of Shell Stamina Grease RL 2 usually permits considerable extension of the re-lubrication interval.

Premium quality industrial bearing greases
Oxidation Stability
Shell Stamina Grease RL 2 have a high temperature oxidation inhibitor system to help ensure that they will withstand high operating temperatures without forming deposits. Unlike the soap thickeners used in most greases, the diurea thickener in Shell Stamina Grease RL 2 does not catalyse grease oxidation, indeed the diurea thickener offers inherent anti-oxidant properties. This contributes to longer grease life at higher temperatures. The base oil component of Shell Stamina Grease RL 2 is a specially selected high viscosity index mineral oil with excellent oxidation and evaporation resistance.
Sealing
The rheology of Shell Stamina Grease RL 2 is such that at low shear rates and with heating the consistency increases. Consequently, in bearings operating at high temperatures the grease remains in place providing good sealing and continuous lubrication even in the presence of vibration.
Water Washout
Shell Stamina Grease RL 2 exhibits very good resistance to water washout by immersion or spray.

Shell Darina Grease R Shell Darina Grease R, based on an inorganic non-soap thickener and a specially selected base oil, will provide satisfactory lubrication beyond the temperature limitations of lithium based greases. The base oil component in Shell Darina Grease R is a high quality, solvent refined, high viscosity mineral oil with excellent oxidation and evaporation resistance. Oxidation stability is also improved by the addition of a special high temperature oxidation inhibitor. Applications
• Recommended for use in bearings operating in the temperature range –10°C to 180°C. • Shell Darina Grease R 2 gives good service life in many applications where expensive synthetic or silicone lubricants would otherwise be considered. • The special high viscosity base oil in Shell Darina Grease R 2 makes it particularly suitable for the grease lubrication of heavily loaded slow speed bearings. • With caution, Shell Darina Grease R 2 may be used at temperatures in excess of 200°C, but only so long as the Relubrication period is suitably adjusted.
Additional Information • Operating temperature A severe limitation in many high temperature greases is the type of organic metallic soap thickener. It can melt at high temperatures destroying the grease structure – greatly reducing its retention and lubrication properties. The special inorganic clay thickener contained in Shell Darina Grease R 2 is free from any melting limitation. It controls the vaporisation and oxidation stability of the base oil and helps to extend grease life and maximise working temperature. • Sealing Shell Darina Grease R 2 does not melt like soap thickened greases and hence its consistency changes only marginally with increasing temperature. In bearings operating at high temperature it resists softening and remains in place providing good sealing and continuous lubrication even in the presence of vibration.

Shell Alexia LS Special cylinder oil for low-speed diesel engines Shell Alexia LS is a special 40BN, SAE 50 cylinder lubricant, for improved piston running conditions in low speed crosshead diesel engines burning low sulphur fuels. Performance Features
Applications
Reduced piston deposits • The reduced ash level of Shell Alexia LS helps to avoid excessive piston top land deposits, which can sometimes build up when 70BN oils are used with low sulphur fuel. Good piston ring and port cleanliness • Shell Alexia LS contains “hidden” detergency, not reflected in the BN of the product. This enables it to keep the ring belt and scavenge air ports clean in spite of the reduced BN. Greater feed rate flexibility • The control of deposits and lower ash allows Shell Alexia LS to be used over a wider range of feed rates with less danger of excessive deposits, than a 70BN cylinder oil.
• Cylinders of low-speed crosshead diesel engines burning fuels with sulphur content below 2%wt, where the designer recommends a lower Base Number (BN) oil to reduce the risk of “sudden severe wear” or scuffing.
Specifications, Approvals and Recommendations
Shell Alexia LS is approved by Wartsila (Sulzer). An approval trial with MAN B&W is in progress.

Shell Argina S Medium-speed trunk-piston diesel engine oil Shell Argina S is a multifunctional crankcase lubricant for certain medium-speed diesel engines operating on residual fuel. Performance Features
• Some medium and high speed engines burning distillate fuel, where a high BN, high ash lubricant is suitable. • Marine engine reduction gears and certain other ship-board applications, where specialist lubricants are not required. • Medium-speed engines burning residual fuel need very specialised lubricants. Heavy fuels contaminate the oil with asphaltenes, requiring special types of detergency to avoid sludges. The combustion of high sulphur fuels produces sulphur acids, which cause high wear rates of piston rings and cylinder liners unless neutralised by a high basicity reserve in the oil. The oil is in service for very long periods, so centrifugal separators are used to remove water and combustion contaminants from the oil.
Engine cleanliness • Has built a reputation over many years for very good engine cleanliness. Rapid neutralisation of acidic combustion products • Gives long-term protection against corrosion of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Thermal stability and resistance to oxidation • Provides excellent high temperature deposit control and contributes to long oil life. Suitability for centrifugal separators • High detergency/low dispersancy formulation releases contaminants and water readily in centrifugal separators.
Applications • Medium-speed industrial or marine propulsion and auxiliary engines, burning residual fuel oils, which create conditions of moderate oil stress. These conditions usually occur: – in engine designs more than five years old, or – where oil consumption is 1.5g/kWh or more, or – in newer designs where load factors are predominantly 70% or less, or – where fuels with sulphur <2% are in use.
Specifications, Approvals and Recommendations Shell Argina S enjoys a comprehensive range of Original Equipment Manufacturers’ approvals through field experience over many years and meets the engine test criteria for API CF. Shell Argina S is not recommended for engines where an API CF-4, C6-4, CH-4, CI-4 oil is required.

Shell Argina X is designed for conditions of high oil stress and has been formulated to help improve deposit control. Performance Features
• Marine engine reduction gears (SAE 40 only) and certain other ship-board applications, where specialist lubricants are not required. • Medium-speed engines burning residual fuel need very specialised lubricants. Heavy fuels contaminate the oil with asphaltenes, requiring special types of detergency to avoid sludges. The combustion of high sulphur fuels produces sulphur acids, which cause high wear rates of piston rings and cylinder liners unless neutralised by a high basicity reserve in the oil. The oil is in service for very long periods, so centrifugal separators are used to remove water and combustion contaminants from the oil.
Engine cleanliness • Has built a reputation over many years for very good engine cleanliness. The formulation has been formulated to help reduce deposits in critical areas, e.g. piston undercrown. Rapid neutralisation of acidic combustion products Gives long-term protection against corrosion • of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Thermal stability and resistance to oxidation • Provides excellent high temperature deposit control and contributes to long oil life. Suitability for centrifugal separators • High detergency/low dispersancy formulation releases contaminants and water readily in centrifugal separators.
Specifications, Approvals and Recommendations
Shell Argina X enjoys a comprehensive range of Original Equipment Manufacturers’ approvals through field experience over many years and meets the engine test criteria for API CF.
Applications • Medium-speed industrial or marine propulsion and auxiliary engines, burning residual fuel oils, which create conditions of high oil stress. These conditions usually occur: – in newer engine designs, less than 10 years old and/or fitted with flame rings, – where oil consumption is 0.5 – 1g/kWh – where load factors are >85% – where fuels with sulphur >3% are in use.

Shell Argina XL Medium-speed trunk-piston diesel engine oil Shell Argina XL is a multifunctional crankcase lubricant for highly rated medium-speed diesel engines operating on residual fuel. Shell Argina XL is designed for conditions of very high oil stress and has been further optimised to improve deposit control. Applications
Performance Features
• Medium-speed industrial or marine propulsion and auxiliary engines, burning residual fuel oils, which create conditions of very high oil stress. These conditions usually occur: – in newer engine designs, with flame rings, especially from Wartsila, – where oil consumption is <0.5g/kWh – where load factors are >90% – where fuels with sulphur >3% are in use • Medium-speed engines burning residual fuel need very specialised lubricants. Heavy fuels contaminate the oil with asphaltenes, requiring special types of detergency to avoid sludges. The combustion of high sulphur fuels produces sulphur acids, which cause high wear rates of piston rings and cylinder liners unless neutralised by a high basicity reserve in the oil. The oil is in service for very long periods, so centrifugal separators are used to remove water and combustion contaminants from the oil. Medium-speed engine oils must be specially designed to release these contaminants in the separator. Shell Argina XL has been specially designed for very high stress conditions, found most often in modern Wartsila engines in power plant or ship propulsion applications.
Excellent engine cleanliness • Higher detergency than even Shell Argina X, leading to exceptionally clean crankcase, valve deck and pistons. The formulation has been further optimised to reduce deposits in critical areas, e.g. piston undercrown. Very high oxidation resistance • Longer oil life and greater resistance to oxidative thickening. Extra high Base Number (BN) • Longer oil life in engines where life is limited by depletion of Base Number. In many cases a satisfactory equilibrium BN level can be maintained, in conditions where this would be impossible with a 40BN oil. Very good Base Number retention • Resists secondary loss of Base Number due to oxidation. Suitability for centrifugal separators • High detergency with low dispersancy formulation releases contaminants and water readily in centrifugal separators. Full compatibility with Shell Argina Family • Shell Argina XL can be used to top up engines already running on any other member of the Shell Argina family, giving immediate control of BN without the need for an oil change.
Specifications, Approvals and Recommendations
Shell Argina XL is approved by Wartsila and meets the engine test criteria for API CF.

Index of contamination Measures the concentration of insoluble soots in diesel engine oil. Too much, and sludge can form, leading to excessive wear in engine components. Merit of dispersancy Measures the ability of the lubricant in a diesel engine to carry combustion contaminants in suspension. Too low, and deposits can accumulate in the bottom of the crankcase leading to problems with filters and/or purification equipment. Wear Particle Index (WPI ) WPI helps us to tell you more about your machine, regardless of type. From super clean hyrdrualic power systems to the hardest working diesel engines, WPI can make the difference between timely shut down or costly breakdown. WPI is derived from a test that measures the amount of paramagnetic material in a sample.The most common paramagnetic material found in oil samples from marine machinery is iron, therefore WPI correlates very closely to the metallic iron content in a sample regardless of particle size. If the WPI increases at a rate greater than normal compared to Fe by ICP spectroscopy, this indicates increasing quantities of iron particles with sizes greater than three microns. This should be taken as a warning that abnormal wear may be occuring in the machine. If the WPI increases at a rate less than normal compared to iron by spectroscopy, this indicates the presence of non-metallic iron. Corrosion salts and most iron oxides are non-magnetic.

Shell Running-in Oil S.7294 SAE 30 Running in and preservative oil for diesel engines
Performance Features
Specifications, Approvals and Recommendations
Shell Running-in Oil S.7294 has been developed for a good run-in as well as internal rust protection of new and rebuilt diesel engines.
It fulfills the requirements of the technical delivery specification of the German Army (Technischen Lieferbedingungen des BMW Spezifikationen).
Applications
Shell Running-in Oil S.7294 can be used for all diesel engines, e.g. vehicles and stationary engines (engines, ship, rail, auxiliary), even in the highest performance class. A good run-in saves on test bed costs and assures trouble free services. During the running-in the engine should be loaded up rapidly. The simultaneous protective action proves that no extra run with rust protection oil has to be performed. Due to its double characteristics (running-in and rust protection) the oil is not suitable for continuous full load service during later use. But it can be used for emergency/auxiliary devices where the engine is being shut down for longer time after short time of service.

Appendix 1: Storage and Handling of Lubricants
V.1
Storage and Handling of Lubricants
Packages containing lubricants should, whenever possible, be stored under cover where they will not be exposed to the action of the weather. Small packages such as tins should always be kept in covered storage, as should any package, whatever its size, once it has been opened and its contents partially used. When the outside storage of unopened drums is unavoidable, certain simple precautions must be observed. The drums should preferably be stored on their sides with bungs at 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock and wooden dunnage or runners should be used to keep them clear of the ground and to prevent rusting of the undersides. They should never be stacked directly on a surface containing clinker, which is particularly corrosive to metal. The drums at each end of a stack must be securely wedged to prevent movement. Regular inspection should be carried out with a view to the detection of leaks and to make sure that identification markings remain clear and legible. If, for any reason, drums have to be stored on their ends, they should be raised off the ground and stored upside down (i.e. with the bungs at the bottom). Failing this, they should be tilted so that rain water cannot collect round and submerge the bungs. Water contamination is undesirable, whatever the grade of lubricant, and it is not always realised that moisture can enter a drum through what appears to be a perfectly sound bung. A drum standing in the open is subjected to the heat of the day and, of course, cools down again at night. This results in expansion and contraction of the contents with the effect that the air in the space above the oil level is subjected, during the day, to slightly higher than atmospheric pressure and, at night, to slight vacuum. These changes in pressure may be sufficiently great to cause a pumping action, known as breathing, in which air is forced out the drum during the day and drawn into it at night. If, therefore, the bungs through which this breathing takes place are surrounded by water, some of this water may be sucked into the drum and, in the course of time, quite considerable quantities may accumulate.
Once the seals have been broken and packages have been opened, there is always a danger that, unless the packages are kept properly closed when not in use, impurities such as dust, sand and fibre may enter them. Such contaminants, eventually finding their way into machinery, can cause damage or abrasion or, by blocking oilways, can result in a complete breakdown due to lack of lubrication. An oil drum, or other package, should never be opened by cutting a large hole in it or by completely removing one end, since, even if the hole is kept covered by, for example, a wooden or metal lid, the chances of contamination are greatly increased. Similarly, it is a bad practice to dip an open container into the oil since, not only does this allow dust to enter, but the outside of the dipper itself may be dirty. Drums of oil should, therefore, be placed on their sides on wooden cradles of convenient height and the oil dispensed by means of a tap under which a drip tray is placed. Alternatively, a drum may be stood on its end and the oil withdrawn by means of a hand pump, the pump intake being inserted into the large bung-hole. When oil is stored in bulk it is probable that water or condensation will accumulate and fine dust find its way into the tanks with the result that, eventually, a layer of sludge-like material builds up at the bottom of the tanks and leads, in time, to contamination of the oil. Consequently, it is advisable to have storage tanks fitted with dished or sloping bottoms provided with drain cocks, which will enable dregs to be drawn off periodically. Where practicable, bulk storage tanks should periodically be cleaned out. Insofar as greases are concerned, the drums must, of necessity, have a large opening and, to avoid as far as possible the entry of dirt and water, it is important that the lid or cover should always be replaced firmly and securely as soon as requirements have been taken. Extremes of temperature are not good for lubricants. They should not be stored in any unduly warm place; equally, it is not wise to leave them for long periods in conditions of extreme cold.
A1.1
Appendix 1
Storing Lubricants
Storage and Handling of Lubricants Handling Lubricants The benefits of good, clean storage can be largely nullified if a lubricant becomes contaminated in transit from the store to the machines. The containers used for transporting lubricants on a site and for the storage of small working quantities must be kept clean and should be provided with lids to prevent the entry of dust and dirt. They should be washed periodically with gasoline, care being taken to mop and dry them before using them again. Similarly, funnels and other pieces of apparatus must always be kept scrupulously clean, rags and wipers being used for this purpose. Cotton waste or woollen rags should not be used as they tend to leave behind fibres which will eventually find their way into machinery and impair the flow of oil. It is advisable to have separate, clearly marked containers of each grade of oil or grease so the contamination of one with another does not take place.
Each operator should know which grades of lubricant are recommended for the equipment in his/her charge and supplies of the correct lubricants and the handling equipment should be readily available to him. As lubricants are dispensed, the quantities should be measured and a record maintained. Store room records should show the quantities issued and the records should be kept for each machine or unit. By this means, regular checks can be made on consumptions and any marked changes noted. These should be investigated at once.
Used and dirty oil should be put into special containers and stored in separate, clearly labelled receptacles unit until disposed of. Every precaution must be taken to see that used lubricants are not allowed to contaminate fresh oils and greases.
Increased consumption is quite often the first sign that a machine is in need of repair, or that its lubricating system requires adjustments; on the other hand, it may mean over-lubrication by the operator.
In general, cleanliness precautions are even more important with grease than with oil. There is always the chance that impurities in oil may sink to the bottom of the tank or container out of harm’s way; with grease this cannot happen and any grit or other contaminant which gets into the grease is bound to find its way into lubricators and machinery sooner or later.
Personal Hygiene
Grease is more susceptible than oil to the effects of temperature and temperature cyclings. High temperature or prolonged exposure to even moderately high temperatures (e.g., tropical sunshine) may cause oil to separate out with the result that the grease loses some of its lubricating properties. Petrolatum (petroleum jelly) and certain types of grease can be made liquid by heating and, on cooling, will regain their former condition; but these are exceptions and most greases will be ruined if treated in this way. Never, therefore, heat a grease to make it fluid.
Appendix 1
The lubrication of machinery should be supervised by a responsible person and should be made a routine procedure. For instance, when a machine requires oil-can applications daily, it should become routine to do this job each morning before commencing to use the machine. Where grease lubrication is called for weekly, this should be done, for instance, first thing Monday morning or last thing before shutting down for the weekend.
Shell lubricants are quite safe to use provided ordinary care is taken to minimise skin contamination and to avoid breathing oil mist or vapours. However, prolonged improper use can cause dermatitis or other skin conditions or even, where heavy contamination occurs over many years, skin cancer. Those at risk are people who use oils every day over periods of months or years, not those who work with oils only very occasionally. The risks can be avoided by carrying out the following simple health precautions. For advice contact a Poisons Information Centre: Phone:

Storage and Handling of Lubricants Special oils and compounds The types of oil which have been associated overseas with skin disorders appear to be those which have been lightly refined and which contain relatively more polynuclear aromatic compounds. Oils of this type are used in rubber processing. Particular care should be taken in these cases. When working regularly with mineral oils follow these simple rules: 1. REDUCE skin contamination by mineral oils to the minimum and avoid breathing their mists or vapours. 2. PROTECT the skin by using suitable clothing and barrier creams. 3. CLEAN the skin thoroughly if contaminated with oil. 4. CARE for the skin properly. 5. WEAR clean intact clothes.
Avoiding contact with mineral oils Contact with mineral oils should be kept to a minimum by using effective splash guards and correct work methods. Good maintenance should be practised so as to avoid oil-soaked floors or benches. Where cutting oils are used, these should be changed at regular intervals to minimise contamination with abrasive metal particles or bacteria. To keep circulating oil as free as possible of abrasive particles, filter and sumps should be regularly inspected and cleaned out. Minimise mist and vapour generation. If this cannot be done, use proper ventilation to keep the breathing zone concentration of oil mist below the recommended maximum concentration in air of 5mg per cubic metre of air.
Gloves can become contaminated on the inside and when worn again they bring the skin into close and repeated contact with oil. A system of regular and frequent changing and cleaning of all protective clothing is the best safeguard. Where contamination with mineral oils occurs regularly at work, for example when using soluble cutting oils with high-speed machinery, it is necessary to give more rigorous attention to adequate laundering and regular changes of clothing and underclothing. To avoid soiling of clean clothing, contaminated clothing should be stored separately from street clothing.
Cleansing the skin Oil should not be left on the skin for any prolonged period of time, particularly if mineral oils are used every day at work. Skin contaminated with oil should be cleaned with mild soap or suitable hand cleansers at regular intervals, and particularly at the end of a working day. Strong soaps and detergents, and abrasive skin cleansers should be avoided as these themselves can cause skin irritation. Solvents such as petrol, kerosene, trichloroethane and similar fluids should not be used for cleaning oil off the skin.
Barrier and restorative creams The natural oils in the skin which form a protective barrier are often removed by the regular washing needed in industry. The natural protective barrier can be replaced to a certain extent by using a good barrier cream before work and a good hydrophilic skin cream containing lanoline or vegetable oils after finally washing the hands at the end of the work period.
Care of the skin
To minimise skin contamination by oils, wear protective gloves and aprons and suitable outer overalls. Where soluble oil concentrates are used, wear goggles or face visors.
Where any sign of irritation or rash appears on the skin, medical attention should be sought at the earliest opportunity.
Protective clothing should be cleaned at regular intervals to remove oil. It is most important to avoid wearing oil-soaked clothing, and hands should be cleaned with disposable wipes which should not be kept in overall or trouser pockets after use.

Appendix 2: Viscosity Classifications
V.1
Viscosity Classifications Industrial Lubricant Classifications ISO (International Standards Organisation) viscosity classification The ISO viscosity classification uses mm2/s (cSt) units and relates to viscosity at 40oC. It consists of a series of 18 viscosity brackets between 1.98 mm2/s and 1650 mm2/s, each of which is defined by a number. The numbers indicate to the nearest whole number, the mid points of their corresponding brackets. For example, ISO viscosity grade 32 relates to the viscosity bracket 28.8 to 35.2 mm2/s, the mid point of which is 32.0 mm2/s. This is illustrated in the table below, which shows the ISO viscosity grade numbers, the mid-points of each bracket, and the viscosity limits. This system is now used to classify all shell industrial lubricating oils where viscosity is an important criterion in the selection of the oil.

Viscosity Classifications – Grease Nlgi Grease Consistency Classification The commonly used grease consistency classification is that established in the USA many years ago by the National Lubricating Grease Institute (NLG). This classifies greases solely in terms of their hardness or softness; no other property or performance level is taken into consideration. The classification consists of a series of consistency range, each of which is defined by a number (or numbers) 000 to 6. The consistency is defined by the distance in tenths of a millimetre, that a standard cone penetrates a sample of the grease under standard conditions at 25°C. This systemis used to classify shell industrial greases.

Viscosity Classifications – Lubricant Engine Oil Lubricant Classifications
Viscosities measured by this method have been found to correlate with engine speeds developed during low temperature cranking. Borderline pumping temperature is measured according to ASTM D3829 ‘Standard Method for Predicting the Borderline Pumping Temperature of Engine Oil’. This provides a measure of an oils’ ability to flow to the engine oil pump inlet and provide adequate engine oil pressure during the initial stages of operation.
SAE J300 January 2009 (Engine Oils) The most widely used system for engine oil viscosity classification is that established by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) in the USA. In this system two series of viscosity grades are defined – those containing the letter W and those without the letter W.
Oils without the letter W, intended for use at higher temperatures, are based on the viscosity at 100ºC only. These are measured by ASTM D445 ‘Method of Test for Kinematic Viscosity of temperature and Opaque Liquids’.
Grades with the letter W are intended for use at lower temperatures and are based on a maximum low temperature viscosity and a maximum borderline pumping temperature, as well as a minimum viscosity at 100° C. The low temperature viscosity is measured by means of a multi-temperature version of ASTM D2602 ‘Method of Test for apparent Viscosity of Motor Oils at Low temperature using the Cold Cranking Simulator’.
A ‘Multi-grade’ oil is one whose low temperature viscosity and borderline temperature satisfy the requirements of one of the W grades and whose viscosity at 100oC is within the stipulated range of one-W-grades.

A gear lubricant and an engine oil having the same viscosity will have widely different SAE grade designation as defined in the two classifications. This system is used to classify shell automotive gear lubricants.
Multi-grade oil satisfies the viscosity requirements of one of the W grades at low temperatures and one of the non-W grades at high temperature.

Lubricant Service Classifications And Specifications API Service Classifications (Engine Crankcase Oils)
API Base Oil Definitions
The American Petroleum Institute (API) Engine Service Classification was developed as a result of a co-operative effort in the USA between the API, the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). The tripartite was developed to form a means of communication between the engine manufacturers and lubricants suppliers. The system defines classes of service for both petrol and diesel engine applications as well as stipulating the accepted engine laboratory tests. The letter ‘S’ (Service Station Classification) is designated for spark ignition engines (petrol engines) in passenger cars and light commercial vehicles. For compression ignition engines (diesel engines), the letter ‘C’ (Commercial Classifications) has been designated. The following is a brief summary of the API classifications.
Group I base stocks contain less than 90% saturates and/or greater than 0.03% sulphur and have viscosity index greater than or equal to 80 and less than 120. Group II base stocks contain greater than or equal to 90% saturates and less than or equal to 0.03% sulphur and have viscosity index greater than or equal to 80 and less than 120. Group III base stocks contain greater than or equal to 90% saturates and less than or equal to 0.03% sulphur and have viscosity index greater than or equal to 120. Group IV base stocks are polyalphaolefins (PAO). Group V base stocks include all other base stocks not included in Group I, II, III or IV.

Current
Introduced in 2006. For high-speed, four-stroke engines designed to meet 2007 model year on-highway exhaust emission standards. CJ-4 oils are compounded for use in all applications with diesel fuels ranging in sulfur content up to 500ppm (0.05% by weight). However, use of these oils with greater than 15ppm (0.0015% by weight) sulfur fuel may impact exhaust aftertreatment system durability and/or oil drain interval. CJ-4 oils are effective at sustaining emission control system durability where particulate filters and other advanced aftertreatment systems are used. Optimum protection is provided for control of catalyst poisoning, particulate filter blocking, engine wear, piston deposits, low- and high-temperature stability, soot handling properties, oxidative thickening, foaming, and viscosity loss due to shear. API CJ-4 oils exceed the performance criteria of API Ci-4 with CI-4 PLUS, CI-4, CH-4, CG-4 and CF-4 and cn effectively lubricate engines calling for those API Service Categories. When using CJ-4 oil with higher than 15ppm sulfur fuel, consult the engine manufacturer for service interval.

Lubricant Service Classifications And Specifications API Automotive Gear Lubricant Specifications
API GL-4
The most important internationally accepted system defining automotive gear oil performance characteristics is laid down by the American Petroleum Institute (API).
Designates the type of service characteristics of gears in manual transmissions operating under sever conditions of sliding speed, particularly spiral bevel and hypoid gears in moderate service, in passenger cars and other automotive-type equipment operated under high speed/ low torque and low speed/high torque conditions.
API GL-1
API GL-5
Designates the type of service characteristics of automotive spiral-bevel and worm gear axles and some manually operated transmissions operating under such mild conditions of low unit pressures and sliding velocities that a non-additive mineral oil can be used satisfactorily. Oxidation and rust inhibitors, anti-foam additives and pour point depressants may be utilised to improve the characteristics of lubricant for this service. Does not contain friction modifiers and extreme-pressure agents.
Designates the type of service characteristics of gears particularly hypoid, in passenger cars and other automotive equipment operated under high-speed/ shock load, high-speed/low-torque, and low-speed/ high-torque conditions. Equivalent to MIL-L-2105D, this category is mainly applicable to axles but may also be used for certain manual transmissions.
API Service Classifications
API GL-2 (obsolete) Designates the type of service characteristics of automotive-type worm gear axles operating under such conditions of load, temperature and sliding velocities that lubricants satisfying API GL-1 service will not suffice. Products suited for this type of service contain anti-wear or very mild extreme-pressure agents that provide protection for worm gears.
API GL-3 (obsolete)
A3.5
Appendix 3
Designates the type of service characteristics of manual transmissions and spiral-bevel axles operating under moderately sever conditions of speed and load. These service conditions require a lubricant having load carrying capacity greater than that which will satisfy API GL-1 service, but below the requirements of lubricants satisfying API GL-4 service. Lubricants designated for this service typically contain additives that are active at the tooth surface at the temperatures resulting from high-speed or load.
