Shell Corena S3 R 46 is a premium-quality air compressor oil designed to deliver high-performance lubrication of rotary sliding-vane and screw air compressors. The product uses an advanced additive system for protection and performance in rotary compressor service.
The 'R' designation indicates rotary (sliding-vane and screw) compressor positioning, and the ISO VG 46 viscosity grade is the most widely specified rotary compressor oil viscosity.
Approvals and performance levels include ISO 6743-3 (compressor oil classification).
The 20-litre pack format is suited to single-machine top-up and small workshop service. Store sealed in the original packaging, in a clean, dry area away from extremes of temperature, to preserve product performance over its shelf life.
Download the product technical datasheet (TDS) and the safety datasheet (SDS) from the relevant brand's lubricants website for the full physical-property table, OEM-approval list and handling guidance — and verify the current revision before specifying for service.

A. Shell Corena S3 R 46 is for rotary sliding-vane and screw air compressors where premium-quality high-performance lubrication is required.
A. The 'R' designation indicates rotary (sliding-vane and screw) compressor positioning, distinguishing it from the 'P' (Piston / reciprocating) variants.
A. Shell Corena S3 R 46 is ISO VG 46 — the most widely specified rotary compressor oil viscosity.
A. Rotary compressor oils (R designation) are formulated for the continuous-rotation duty of screw and sliding-vane compressors — emphasising deposit control, water separation and air-release. Reciprocating compressor oils (P designation) are formulated for the cyclic duty of piston compressors — emphasising deposit and varnish control at higher discharge temperatures.
A. Shell Corena S3 R 46 meets ISO 6743-3 (compressor oil classification).
A. Both are Shell Corena rotary compressor oils at ISO VG 46 meeting ISO 6743-3. S3 R 46 (this product) is the premium synthetic rotary compressor oil for standard demanding service. S4 R 46 is the advanced synthetic range for the most demanding rotary compressor applications.
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.
