A. Shell Gadus S2 V220 0 is for centralised lubrication systems and applications requiring a softer grease for pumping through small-diameter lubrication lines, or for low-temperature service where the standard NLGI 2 consistency would be too stiff to pump.
A. Yes, Shell Gadus S2 V220 0 was formerly known as Shell Alvania Grease EP(LF) 0.
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 S2 V220 0 is NLGI 0 — softer than the more common bearing-grade NLGI 2.
A. Shell Gadus S2 V220 0 meets ASTM D2596 (extreme-pressure load-wear); and DIN 51805 (low-temperature flow).
A. NLGI 0 is softer and more pumpable than NLGI 2 — selected for centralised lubrication systems where the grease must flow through small-diameter feed lines, and for cold-climate applications where a stiffer grease would not pump at low temperature.
A. Both are Shell Gadus S2 V220 lithium/calcium multi-purpose EP greases in soft consistencies. V220 0 (this product) is NLGI 0 — soft. V220 00 is even softer at NLGI 00 — semi-fluid for enclosed gears and centralised lubrication on cold installations.
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.
