Shell Omala S2 GX 68 is a high-quality extreme-pressure (EP) oil for the lubrication of industrial gearboxes, providing extra protection against oxidation, load-carrying capacity, micropitting protection, and compatibility with seals and paints.
The ISO VG 68 viscosity grade is positioned for lighter-duty industrial gearboxes operating at higher speeds — small enclosed gear units and high-speed gear drives.
Approvals and performance levels include DIN 51517 Part 3 (CLP); and the ISO VG 68 viscosity classification.
Shell Omala S2 GX 68 is also available in a 209-litre drum (PRD00004200) for workshop bulk supply.
The 20-litre pack format is suited to single-machine top-up and small workshop service. Store sealed in the original packaging, in a clean, dry area away from extremes of temperature, to preserve product performance over its shelf life.
With viscosity index 100 and pour point -27°C, Shell 550041630 Omala S2 GX 68 supports stable lubrication across the operating temperature range and cold-start conditions.
Shell Omala technology provides an effective extreme pressure (EP) formulation designed specifically for enclosed industrial gearboxes using steel-on-steel, spur, helical, or planetary gear drives, including highly loaded systems with splash or forced circulation systems. Shell Omala oils are also suitable for the lubrication of non-geared applications, that include bearings and other steel-on-steel components with splash or forced circulation systems.

A. Shell Omala S2 GX 68 is for enclosed industrial gear units operating at higher speeds — small enclosed gear units, some hydraulic-and-gear shared sumps and high-speed gear drives where the heavier industrial gear oil grades would generate excess churning resistance.
A. Shell Omala S2 GX 68 is ISO VG 68 — the lighter industrial gear oil viscosity for higher-speed and smaller industrial gear units.
A. Shell Omala S2 GX 68 is positioned within the DIN 51517 Part 3 (CLP) industrial EP gear oil specification.
A. Yes, Shell Omala S2 GX 68 is formulated to provide protection against micropitting — a wear mechanism affecting case-hardened industrial gear teeth.
A. Both are Shell Omala S2 GX industrial EP gear oils meeting DIN 51517 Part 3 (CLP). They differ only in viscosity grade: Omala S2 GX 68 (this product) is ISO VG 68 for lighter-duty higher-speed gear units; Omala S2 GX 100 is ISO VG 100 for lighter-duty general-purpose service.
A. API and ACEA are the universal lubricant performance standards every reputable oil meets. They are your baseline check — match the code your handbook specifies (e.g., API CI-4 or ACEA E7 for heavy-duty diesel) and the oil is technically suitable for your machine. Every oil on our site lists its API and ACEA classifications.
A. An OEM Specification is the lubricant requirement set by a vehicle or equipment manufacturer (e.g., MB 228.3, VW 504.00). When an oil lists the code, the oil manufacturer has developed and tested it to meet the criteria the equipment manufacturer requires. Match the code in your handbook and you have a lubricant engineered for your machine.
A. An OEM Approval means the oil has been formally tested and signed off by the equipment manufacturer and listed on their official approved-products register (e.g., MB-Approval 228.3). An Approval confirms the oil is recognised by the equipment manufacturer for service use in their machines.
