A. Shell Tellus S2 VX 68 is designed for hydraulic systems requiring a high-viscosity-index anti-wear hydraulic oil with extended drain capability. The ISO VG 68 viscosity is suited to warm-ambient and higher-pressure hydraulic operations.
A. Shell Tellus S2 VX 68 is supplied at ISO VG 68 — the heavier general-service hydraulic viscosity.
A. Shell Tellus S2 VX 68 meets ASTM D6158; and DIN 51524.
A. Both are Shell Tellus S2 premium ISO VG 68 anti-wear hydraulic oils. S2 MX 68 is the standard-VI range for general industrial hydraulic service. S2 VX 68 (this product) is the high-VI range for hydraulic systems operating across varied ambient temperatures.
A. Yes, Shell Tellus S2 VX 68 is positioned for long oil life. The actual drain interval should be set per the hydraulic equipment manufacturer's recommendation and verified through used-oil analysis.
A. API and ACEA are the universal lubricant performance standards every reputable oil meets. They are your baseline check — match the code your handbook specifies (e.g., API CI-4 or ACEA E7 for heavy-duty diesel) and the oil is technically suitable for your machine. Every oil on our site lists its API and ACEA classifications.
A. An OEM Specification is the lubricant requirement set by a vehicle or equipment manufacturer (e.g., MB 228.3, VW 504.00). When an oil lists the code, the oil manufacturer has developed and tested it to meet the criteria the equipment manufacturer requires. Match the code in your handbook and you have a lubricant engineered for your machine.
A. An OEM Approval means the oil has been formally tested and signed off by the equipment manufacturer and listed on their official approved-products register (e.g., MB-Approval 228.3). An Approval confirms the oil is recognised by the equipment manufacturer for service use in their machines.
