Shell Gadus S5 V42P 2.5 (formerly Shell Nerita HV) in the 50kg keg is supplied for workshop bulk service. It is an advanced extreme-pressure grease specifically for high-speed bearings, offering extra protection and long life. The 'V42' designation indicates the light ISO VG 42 base oil — selected for high-speed bearing applications where heavier base oils would generate excess churning resistance.
The NLGI 2.5 consistency is slightly stiffer than the standard bearing-grade NLGI 2.
The product sits within the Shell Gadus S5 ultra-premium range.
For smaller workshops, Shell Gadus S5 V42P 2.5 is also available in an 18kg keg (PRD00004094).
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.
Shell Gadus S5 V42P 2.5 is an advanced extreme pressure grease for high speed bearings and can be used on electrical motors & high speed bearings (loaded & unloaded).

A. Shell Gadus S5 V42P 2.5 is specifically for high-speed bearings — high-speed electric motors, spindles and similar fast-rotating bearing applications where heavier base oils would generate excess churning resistance.
A. Yes, Shell Gadus S5 V42P 2.5 was previously named Shell Nerita HV.
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 S5 V42P 2.5 is NLGI 2.5 — between the standard NLGI 2 and stiffer NLGI 3 grades.
A. High-speed bearings require lighter base oils because heavier oils generate excess churning resistance — wasting energy and creating heat. The ISO VG 42 base oil in this product gives the lower viscosity needed for high-speed operation while the EP additive package maintains bearing protection.
A. Both are Shell Gadus S5 ultra-premium greases for high-speed bearing service. V42P 2.5 uses very light ISO VG 42 base oil for the fastest-running bearings, slightly stiffer NLGI 2.5 consistency. V100 2 (formerly Albida EMS) uses ISO VG 100 base oil with standard NLGI 2 consistency for electric motor and extended-interval 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.
