A. Shell Gadus S1 V220 2 is for general industrial and automotive bearing lubrication where a standard lithium NLGI 2 grease with ISO VG 220 base oil is required.
A. NLGI is the universal grease consistency standard every reputable grease meets, ranging from NLGI 000 (semi-fluid) to NLGI 3 (firm). It is your baseline check — match the grade your handbook specifies (e.g., NLGI 2 for most multi-purpose applications) and the grease is technically suitable for your machine. Every grease on our site lists its NLGI grade.
A. Shell Gadus S1 V220 2 is NLGI 2 — the standard bearing-grade grease consistency.
A. Shell Gadus S1 V220 2 uses a lithium soap thickener.
A. Both are Shell Gadus S1 entry-level lithium NLGI 2 multi-purpose greases. V160 2 uses ISO VG 160 base oil — suiting lighter-duty automotive wheel-bearing service. V220 2 (this product) uses heavier ISO VG 220 base oil — suiting heavier-duty industrial bearing service.
A. Both are Shell Gadus NLGI 2 multi-purpose greases with ISO VG 220 base oil. S1 V220 2 (this product) is the entry-level lithium-soap range. S2 V220 2 is the higher-tier mainstream lithium/calcium HP range with stronger EP additive package for heavier-duty service.
A. An OEM Specification is the grease requirement set by a vehicle or equipment manufacturer (e.g., MB 267.0, MAN 283 Li-P 2). When a grease lists the code, the grease manufacturer has developed and tested it to meet the criteria the equipment manufacturer requires. Match the code in your handbook and you have a grease engineered for your machine.
A. An OEM Approval means the grease has been formally tested and signed off by the equipment manufacturer and listed on their official approved-products register (e.g., MB-Approval 267.0). An Approval confirms the grease is recognised by the equipment manufacturer for service use in their machines.
