A. Shell Gadus S2 V220 1 is for centralised lubrication systems, cold-climate operation and bearing applications where a slightly softer consistency than the standard NLGI 2 is specified.
A. Yes, Shell Gadus S2 V220 1 was formerly known as Shell Alvania Grease EP(LF) 1.
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 1 is NLGI 1 — slightly softer than the more common bearing-grade NLGI 2.
A. NLGI 1 is softer than NLGI 2 — easier to pump in centralised lubrication systems and more workable at cold temperatures, while still providing more body than the NLGI 0 grade.
A. All three are Shell Gadus S2 V220 lithium/calcium multi-purpose HP greases with ISO VG 220 base oil and the same EP additive system. They differ only in NLGI consistency: 0 (soft, centralised lubrication), 1 (slightly soft), 2 (this product family, standard bearing-grade).
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.
