Applications

  • Wind turbines and other inaccessible installations

Shell Omala S4 GX is particularly recommended for certain systems where extra long life is required, maintenance is infrequent or systems are inaccessible.

  • Enclosed industrial gear systems

Recommended for industrial reduction gear systems operating under severe operating conditions, such as high load, very low or elevated temperatures and wide temperature variations

  • Other applications

Shell Omala S4 GX oils are suitable for lubrication of bearings and other components in circulating and splash-lubricated systems

For highly loaded worm drives the Shell Omala “W” series oils are recommended.

For automotive hypoid gears, the appropriate Shell Spirax Oil should be used.
