Q 1. What applications is Shell Gadus S5 V460 2 designed for?

A. Shell Gadus S5 V460 2 is for heavily loaded slow-speed bearings in steel mills, cement plants, mining and other heavy-industrial applications where the heavier ISO VG 460 base oil is specified.

Q 2. Is Shell Gadus S5 V460 2 the same as Shell Albida HLS or MPS?

A. Yes, Shell Gadus S5 V460 2 was formerly known as Shell Albida Grease HLS 2 and Shell Albida MPS.

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 S5 V460 2?

A. Shell Gadus S5 V460 2 is NLGI 2 — the standard bearing-grade grease consistency.

Q 5. What does V460 in the Gadus name mean?

A. The V460 designation indicates the ISO VG 460 base-oil viscosity — a heavier base oil than the more common V220, suiting heavily loaded slow-speed bearing applications.

Q 6. What is the difference between Shell Gadus S3 V460 2 and S5 V460 2?

A. Both are Shell Gadus V460 NLGI 2 lithium-complex heavy-duty greases. S3 V460 2 is the premium-range product for heavily loaded slow-speed bearings. S5 V460 2 (this product) is the ultra-premium S5-range product with enhanced chemistry for the most demanding heavy-industrial applications.

Q 7. What types of equipment use ISO VG 460 grease?

A. ISO VG 460 base-oil greases such as Shell Gadus S5 V460 2 are typically specified for kiln support rollers, ball mill trunnions, large slow-speed plant bearings, and other heavy-duty industrial bearings where a thick lubricant film is required to support high loads at low speed.

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.
