Q 1. What applications is Shell Gadus S3 V770D 1 designed for?

A. Shell Gadus S3 V770D 1 is specifically positioned for bushings and similar heavily loaded sliding-contact applications. The very heavy ISO VG 770 base oil provides a thick lubricant film for plain-bearing service.

Q 2. Is Shell Gadus S3 V770D 1 the same as Shell Albida SDM?

A. Yes, Shell Gadus S3 V770D 1 was previously named Shell Albida SDM 1.

Q 3. What is an NLGI grade?

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.

Q 4. What is the NLGI grade of Shell Gadus S3 V770D 1?

A. Shell Gadus S3 V770D 1 is NLGI 1 — slightly softer than the standard bearing-grade NLGI 2, suiting bushing and plain-bearing applications.

Q 5. What does V770D in the Gadus name mean?

A. The V770D designation indicates the ISO VG 770 base-oil viscosity — significantly heavier than the more common V220 or V460 greases, suiting heavily loaded plain bearings where a very thick lubricant film is required.

Q 6. What is the thickener type in Shell Gadus S3 V770D 1?

A. Shell Gadus S3 V770D 1 uses a lithium-complex soap thickener.

Q 7. What is the difference between Shell Gadus S3 V460 2 and S3 V770D 1?

A. Both are Shell Gadus S3 lithium-complex premium greases for heavy-duty service. V460 2 uses ISO VG 460 base oil and NLGI 2 consistency for heavily loaded slow-speed rolling-element bearings. V770D 1 (this product) uses heavier ISO VG 770 base oil and softer NLGI 1 consistency specifically for bushings and plain-bearing applications.

Q 8. What is an OEM Specification?

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.

Q 9. What is an OEM Approval?

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.
