Shell Gadus S3 High Speed Coupling Grease (formerly Shell Albida Grease GC 1) is a premium gear-coupling grease specifically formulated for high-speed gear couplings. The lithium-complex thickener provides high-temperature performance and resistance to centrifugal separation — important for gear couplings where the rotational forces would separate the oil from the thickener in a standard grease.
The NLGI 1 consistency suits the gear-coupling application — softer than a standard bearing grease but firm enough to stay within the coupling housing.
Approvals and performance levels include the Shell Albida GC heritage specification within the gear-coupling grease class.
As with all greases, follow the equipment manufacturer's regreasing schedule and avoid mixing with greases of incompatible thickener type — incompatible thickeners can cause softening, hardening or separation of the grease in service. Store greases sealed in the original packaging, at moderate temperatures and away from direct sunlight, to preserve consistency and additive performance.
Gadus S3 HS Coupling Grease (18 kg). NLGI 1 grade. Shell Gadus S3 High Speed Coupling Grease is a special grease for flexible gear couplings operating up to 300 rpm. It is based on high viscosity mineral oil and a lithium complex soap thickener

A. Shell Gadus S3 High Speed Coupling Grease is for high-speed gear couplings — rotating couplings used to connect shafts in industrial machinery where the rotational forces would separate oil from thickener in a standard grease.
A. Yes, Shell Gadus S3 High Speed Coupling Grease was previously named Shell Albida Grease GC 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 S3 High Speed Coupling Grease is NLGI 1 — softer than a standard bearing grease but firm enough to stay within the coupling housing.
A. In high-speed rotating equipment, centrifugal forces can cause the lubricating oil to separate from the thickener in a standard grease — leaving the thickener behind and throwing oil outward. Gear-coupling greases such as this product are formulated with lithium-complex thickeners and specific base oils that resist this separation.
A. Shell Gadus S3 High Speed Coupling Grease uses a lithium-complex soap thickener — chosen for centrifugal stability and high-temperature performance.
A. No — gear-coupling greases are formulated for the specific demands of rotating couplings (centrifugal resistance, high-speed operation). For general bearing service use a multi-purpose grease such as Shell Gadus S2 V220 2 or S3 V220C 2.
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.
