Dear Valued Distributor,<br />
Earlier this month we released a Shell Lubricants Handbook (material no. 5066096) which is a field-guide<br />
for sales, customer service, and technical staff and which contains detailed product information including<br />
specifications and equipment coverage <strong>of</strong> Shell branded products. The previous book was released some<br />
time ago, so this latest edition contains some new items that may not be familiar to you.<br />
The handbook includes mostly products available within the US. Some products are also available in<br />
both the US and Canada. (Shell Lubricants Canada releases a separate handbook for that market.) Some<br />
other products that are part <strong>of</strong> our global portfolio and are not yet available, but could be made available<br />
in the future, are for the sake <strong>of</strong> completeness included in the current handbook. And there is one<br />
omission due to printer error.<br />
Some examples <strong>of</strong> the above products:<br />
CI-4 PLUS Products not available in Canada: The Handbook lists both Shell Rimula Premium® (p. 136)<br />
and Shell Rotella® T Multigrade (p. 144) products; both are unavailable in Canada.<br />
Shell Rotella® products on pages 152 – 163 not yet available in the US: Shell Rotella® T1 (p. 152),<br />
Shell Rotella® T2 (p. 154), Shell Rotella® T3 (p. 156), Shell Rotella® T5 (p. 158), Shell Rotella® T5<br />
0W-30 (p. 160), Shell Rotella® T6 (p. 162), not yet available in the US.<br />
The omission <strong>of</strong> FormulaShell® conventional motor oil in 5W-20, 5W-30, and 10W-30 is regrettable.<br />
We strive to continue to grow our lubricants business, and we continue to manage our portfolio to provide<br />
the right products for the needs <strong>of</strong> our customers. This process involves both introducing new products<br />
and eliminating <strong>of</strong>ferings that have run their course; both types may appear in the handbook. Prior to the<br />
launch <strong>of</strong> any new products already in the handbook, comprehensive sales training and materials will<br />
drive successful implementation. Likewise, we strive to deliver usable information at your fingertips. In<br />
case that you have a product information request that is not covered in the handbook or are looking for a<br />
replacement for a product no longer available, please try http://www.epc.shell.com/, www.shelllubricants.com,<br />
or call the Technical Information Center at 800-237-8645.<br />
Please make sure that sales and customer service personnel use the handbook and other resources as much<br />
as possible to achieve sales excellence in the marketplace. Also, please contact your Shell Lubricants<br />
sales representative with any questions you may have regarding our products or the new handbook.<br />
We appreciate and value your business.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Luis Guimaraes<br />
General Manager, Marketing, North America<br />

AeroShell ® Fluid 2F<br />
Corrosion Preventive Compound for Reciprocating<br />
Aircraft Engines<br />
AeroShell ® Fluid 2F is a rust and corrosion preventive oil commonly used to<br />
preserve aircraft internal combustion engines. The ashless anti-corrosion<br />
additive package and highly refined petroleum base oils protect the engine<br />
by minimizing the effects <strong>of</strong> humidity and neutralizing the acidic<br />
components <strong>of</strong> engine oil oxidation and combustion by-products. Meets<br />
the requirement <strong>of</strong> MIL-C-6529 Type II specification for corrosion<br />
preventives for aircraft engines.<br />
Main Applications<br />
AeroShell ® Fluid 2F is normally used as a<br />
preservation grade engine oil for the internal<br />
preservation <strong>of</strong> engines or engine parts and<br />
accessories during moderate outdoor to long-term<br />
indoor storage periods.This oil can also be used as<br />
a “flyaway” oil for reciprocating engines; however,<br />
Shell does not recommend that you fly an opposed<br />
engine more than 50 hours during the TBO (Time<br />
Before Overhaul) cycle.<br />
The engine to be preserved should be filled to<br />
normal capacity with AeroShell ® Fluid 2F and then<br />
run at the idle until the engine reaches normal<br />
operating temperature (approximately<br />
10-15 minutes).<br />

AeroShell ® Fluid 31<br />
Synthetic hydrocarbon based aircraft hydraulic fluid<br />
AeroShell ® Fluid 31 is a synthetic hydrocarbon<br />
based aircraft hydraulic fluid with greatly improved<br />
fire resistance characteristics when compared with<br />
conventional petroleum products.<br />
AeroShell ® Fluid 31 has a specially designed base<br />
stock which imparts a relatively high flash point,<br />
excellent low temperature properties and good<br />
oxidation and thermal stability. In addition,<br />
AeroShell ® Fluid 31 is formulated with high<br />
technology additives to provide oxidation and<br />
corrosion resistance, antiwear, and anti-foaming<br />
protection.<br />
AeroShell ® Fluid 31 is superclean filtered to<br />
ensure optimum performance in particulate<br />
monitored systems.<br />
AeroShell ® Fluid 31 is dyed red.<br />
The useful operating temperature range is –40 to<br />
+205°C.<br />
Main Applications<br />
AeroShell ® Fluid 31 is recommended for use in<br />
aircraft, ordnance, and missile systems operating<br />
from –40°C to +205°C. This fluid should be<br />
considered for use in auto pilots, shock absorbers,<br />
brakes, flight control systems, hydraulic servocontrolled<br />
systems and other systems using<br />
synthetic elastomer seals.<br />
An increasing number <strong>of</strong> aircraft manufacturers<br />
now recommend use <strong>of</strong> this type <strong>of</strong> fluid in aircraft<br />
hydraulic systems in preference to mineral<br />
hydraulic oils. This move has been prompted<br />
by need to use fluids with better fire<br />
resistant properties.<br />
AeroShell ® Fluid 31 is also approved for use in the<br />
Honeywell (formerly Garrett) cooling turbine (cabin<br />
air compressors).<br />
Increasingly this type <strong>of</strong> hydraulic fluid is being<br />
adopted for use in hydraulic systems <strong>of</strong> military<br />
aircraft in place <strong>of</strong> mineral hydraulic fluids.<br />
AeroShell ® Fluid 31 is a synthetic hydrocarbon<br />
oil and should not be used in contact with<br />
incompatible seal materials. Refer to the General<br />
Notes at the front <strong>of</strong> this section for further<br />
information.<br />
Aviation<br />
14<br />
AeroShell ® Fluid 31 is compatible with AeroShell ®<br />
Fluids 4, 41, 51, 61 and 71 and can be used in<br />
systems designed to operate with MIL-PRF-5606,<br />
MIL-PRF-6083, MIL-PRF-87257 and<br />
MIL-PRF-46170 fluids.<br />
Chlorinated solvents should not be used for<br />
cleaning hydraulic components which use<br />
AeroShell ® Fluid 31. The residual solvent<br />
contaminates the hydraulic fluid and may lead<br />
to corrosion.<br />

AeroShell ® Greases<br />
Premium military approved greases for the aviation industry<br />
Shell <strong>of</strong>fers a complete line <strong>of</strong> seven aviation greases designed to fill almost<br />
every lubrication need <strong>of</strong> the aviation community. The product line consists <strong>of</strong><br />
seven products each designed for specific applications. Four <strong>of</strong> the Shell<br />
aviation greases are based on Microgel ® , an inorganic thickening agent.<br />
One grease is soap type grease specifically designed to provide the unique<br />
lubricant requirements <strong>of</strong> helicopter main and tail rotor bearings. Two<br />
greases are thickened with lithium complex soap and are approved against<br />
both Boeing and military specifications.<br />
Main Applications<br />
Whenever an aircraft is certified, all <strong>of</strong> the<br />
lubricants are specified for each application point<br />
on the type certificate. The type certificate will<br />
specify, either by military specification number or<br />
by specific product names, those products which<br />
are qualified to be used. The FAA regulations state<br />
that only products qualified for specific<br />
applications can be used in certified aircraft.<br />
Therefore, in aviation it is the responsibility <strong>of</strong> the<br />
aircraft owner or designated representative to<br />
determine which products should be used.<br />
Lubricant recommendation charts for specific<br />
aircraft should be consulted, or the original<br />
airframe manufacturer should be contacted for<br />
specific product recommendations.<br />

AeroShell ® <strong>Oil</strong> Diesel 10W-40<br />
Fully synthetic, multigrade engine oil<br />
AeroShell ® <strong>Oil</strong> Diesel 10W-40 is a fully synthetic, multigrade engine oil<br />
designed for use in the new generation <strong>of</strong> compression ignition (Diesel)<br />
Aviation Piston Engines. The formulation has been selected to be suitable in<br />
piston engines fueled by Jet A or Jet A-1 and is designed for use in the latest<br />
highly rated turbocharged diesel engines under all operating conditions.<br />
AeroShell ® <strong>Oil</strong> Diesel 10W-40 MUST NOT be used in spark ignition, or<br />
Avgas powered aircraft engines.<br />
Main Applications<br />
AeroShell ® <strong>Oil</strong> Diesel 10W-40 is unique in being<br />
the only fully synthetic engine oil available in<br />
General Aviation. It also contains unique Shell<br />
approved additives to provide superior piston<br />
cleanliness resulting in a clean, efficient and<br />
reliable engine. These additives include a powerful<br />
surface acting additive, which bonds to the surface<br />
<strong>of</strong> highly loaded engine parts, protecting the<br />
engine from scuffing damage.<br />
AeroShell ® <strong>Oil</strong> Diesel 10W-40 has been<br />
developed to be suitable for use in engines burning<br />
Jet fuel and its performance has been optimized to<br />
cope with the demands <strong>of</strong> this type <strong>of</strong> engine. Its<br />
key performance features include the ability to<br />
sustain high bearing loads, neutralization <strong>of</strong> acid<br />
build up from the sulfur present in the fuel and high<br />
dispersancy to allow for the relatively high particle<br />
loading produced when burning Jet fuel.<br />
During development, AeroShell ® <strong>Oil</strong> Diesel<br />
10W-40 has amassed around 40,000 hours in<br />
engine- and flight testing. It has been used<br />
throughout the SMA engine development program<br />
and during Thielert engine development testing; it<br />
is fully approved by both manufacturers. Further<br />
approvals are being sought as other engines are<br />
developed for this emerging market.<br />

in four-stroke aircraft piston engines which are<br />
<strong>of</strong> an original automotive design and therefore<br />
cannot use traditional Ashless Dispersant<br />
aircraft engine oil types. These engines include<br />
carburetor, fuel-injected and turbocharged types<br />
such as the ROTEX ® 912 and 914 Series.<br />
• AeroShell ® <strong>Oil</strong> Sport Plus 4 is to be used in<br />
integrated gearbox and wet clutch systems.<br />
• AeroShell ® <strong>Oil</strong> Sport Plus 4 can be used in<br />
engines which operate on both unleaded and<br />
AVGAS 100LL. Correct type <strong>of</strong> additives and<br />
good solvent properties allow the oil to handle<br />
lead by-products, which can form a semi solid<br />
sludge in the oil, which in turn, can restrict oil<br />
passages and compromise lubrication.<br />
AeroShell ® <strong>Oil</strong> Sport Plus 4 is superior in this<br />
respect to those oil types designed for<br />
automotive/mororcycle application.<br />

Shell MORLINA ® <strong>Oil</strong>s SD<br />
Premium quality bearing and circulating oils specifically<br />
developed to have superior demulsification<br />
Shell MORLINA ® <strong>Oil</strong>s SD are premium quality rust and oxidation inhibited<br />
lubricating oils providing excellent lubrication in ‘MORGOIL ® ’ bearing and<br />
steel mill circulating systems. They are designed to have appropriate<br />
viscosity/temperature characteristics, low foaming tendencies and excellent<br />
water separation properties. In addition, they protect equipment against<br />
corrosion and oil oxidation promoting long service life.<br />
Performance Features and Benefits<br />
• Water contamination is the norm in steel mill<br />
bearing and circulating applications, causing<br />
corrosion and inadequate lubrication. Poor<br />
demulsibility can also lead to the formation<br />
<strong>of</strong> emulsions which reduce filtration<br />
effectiveness, restrict circulation and promote<br />
bacterial growth.<br />
• Shell MORLINA ® <strong>Oil</strong>s SD have outstanding<br />
demulsibility. Water is rapidly shed from the oil.<br />
The free water can then be easily drained or<br />
centrifuged from the lubrication system<br />
protecting the installation against corrosion,<br />
premature wear and failure.<br />
• Shell MORLINA ® <strong>Oil</strong>s SD are especially useful<br />
in smaller newer systems where excellent<br />
demulse is critical for effective operation. It is<br />
helpful in some neglected systems where<br />
the normal maintenance regimes have<br />
been relaxed.<br />
• Shell MORLINA ® <strong>Oil</strong>s SD help to reduce new<br />
product purchases, component replacement as<br />
well as helping to reduce maintenance costs,<br />
parts and labor.<br />
• High operating temperatures and extended oil<br />
drain intervals demand superior oxidation<br />
properties <strong>of</strong> the oil. Shell MORLINA ® <strong>Oil</strong>s SD<br />
have excellent thermal and oxidative stability<br />
which reduce the formation <strong>of</strong> sludge and other<br />
harmful oxidation products. The result is<br />
extended oil life, less maintenance and<br />
less downtime.<br />
• Shell MORLINA ® <strong>Oil</strong>s SD exhibit excellent<br />
surface properties with rapid air release and<br />
a high resistance to foaming. This reduces<br />
problems associated with pump cavitation,<br />
premature oil oxidation and excessive wear.<br />
• Poor corrosion performance in circulating oils<br />
leads to reduced levels <strong>of</strong> oil cleanliness which<br />
promote abrasive wear, consequent failure <strong>of</strong><br />
components (e.g. damaged bearings and<br />
blocked control valves etc), sludge formation,<br />
accelerated oil oxidation and increased<br />
foaming. Shell MORLINA ® <strong>Oil</strong>s SD prevent the<br />
formation <strong>of</strong> rust. It guards against the onset <strong>of</strong><br />
corrosion ensuring protection for equipment<br />
during operation and shut-downs hence<br />
minimizing maintenance.<br />
Main Applications<br />
• ‘MORGOIL ® ’ type bearing systems in steel mills<br />
• Circulating oil systems where water separation<br />
is a key issue<br />
• Plain and rolling element bearings<br />
• Enclosed spur, helical, bevel and worm<br />
gearboxes where the use <strong>of</strong> a non-EP rust and<br />
oxidation inhibited oil is approved by the<br />
equipment manufacturer<br />

55 Bearing and Circulating <strong>Oil</strong>
Shell VSI Circulating <strong>Oil</strong><br />
Hydraulic and lubricating oil for rust protection in<br />
vapor spaces<br />
Shell developed VSI (Vapor Space Inhibiting) Circulating <strong>Oil</strong> with an anti-rust<br />
compound which is oil soluble and volatile. This corrosion inhibitor fills the<br />
vapor space above the oil level to form a rust preventive barrier on exposed<br />
metal surfaces and helps combat vapor space rusting. Moisture in enclosed<br />
air spaces over circulating oils is very likely to cause rusting when it<br />
condenses on the cool walls <strong>of</strong> gear cases or reservoirs. Further, this<br />
condensed moisture is constantly replenished as the system “breathes”<br />
through vents and other openings.<br />
Performance Features and Benefits<br />
• Excellent demulsibilty<br />
• Excellent corrosion protection<br />
Main Applications<br />
• Hydraulic, turbine, and general lubricating<br />
applications<br />
• Enclosed lubricating oil systems where rusting is<br />
likely to occur<br />
• Anti-friction bearings and gears, reservoirs,<br />
system housings, piping and similar system<br />
components<br />
• Machine tools that may be idle for weekends<br />
or longer<br />
Advice on applications not covered in this<br />
handbook may be obtained from your Shell<br />
representative.<br />
Recommended Practices for Using<br />
Shell VSI Circulating <strong>Oil</strong><br />
• High temperature will accelerate inhibitor<br />
release while low temperature will retard it. An<br />
initial temperature <strong>of</strong> 80° to 100°F will assist in<br />
early distribution <strong>of</strong> the VSI agent. In operating<br />
systems recommended bulk oil temperatures are<br />
80° to 150°F. Temperatures over 200°F should<br />
be avoided because <strong>of</strong> the excessive rust<br />
inhibiting vapor loss.<br />
• A tightly closed system is best, and no attempt<br />
should be made to protect a completely open<br />
system. Most oil circulating systems and<br />
reservoirs afford a relatively closed system to<br />
keep the oil free <strong>of</strong> contamination. Any<br />
reduction in system ventilation will help improve<br />
the corrosion inhibiting action.<br />
Bearing and Circulating <strong>Oil</strong><br />
56<br />
• The equipment should be clean before installing<br />
Shell VSI Circulating <strong>Oil</strong>. Contamination may<br />
promote rusting.<br />
• Freshly cleaned surfaces should be immediately<br />
coated with Shell VSI Circulating <strong>Oil</strong>, if<br />
possible, to afford protection until rust inhibiting<br />
vapors can form.<br />
• Shell VSI Circulating <strong>Oil</strong> is designed primarily<br />
for protection <strong>of</strong> ferrous metals. It is noncorrosive<br />
to most non-ferrous metals including<br />
brass, copper, bronze, zinc, babbitt, aluminum<br />
and magnesium. However, contact with lead<br />
and lead alloys should be avoided unless the<br />
alloys have been tested for suitability under<br />
actual operating conditions.<br />
• For maximum effectiveness, the maximum<br />
distance from the oil to the surfaces requiring<br />
protection should be kept reasonably short.<br />
Experience indicates that with 80°F oil the<br />
distance should be no more than about six feet.<br />
Where temperatures are lower, the maximum<br />
distance should be less, and at temperatures<br />
over 80°F it may be somewhat greater.<br />
• Because <strong>of</strong> the significant effect that temperature<br />
and ventilation have on depleting the rustinhibiting<br />
additive, and because <strong>of</strong> differences<br />
in make-up rates, it is difficult to predict oil<br />
service life. However, experience has indicated<br />
that while the oil change interval is shorter than<br />
that for premium quality turbine oils, it is<br />
sufficiently long to fit in with plant preventive<br />
maintenance schedules.

Shell CORENA ® <strong>Oil</strong> AP<br />
Advanced synthetic lubricant for reciprocating<br />
air compressors<br />
Shell CORENA ® <strong>Oil</strong> AP is an advanced reciprocating air compressor lubricant<br />
and is based on specially selected synthetic ester fluids. It incorporates the<br />
latest additive technology to provide high performance.<br />
Performance Features and Benefits<br />
• Outstanding performance in all<br />
operating conditions<br />
Developed specifically for heavy duty<br />
reciprocating air compressors. This includes<br />
reciprocating air compressors subjected to<br />
overloading, intermittent or continuous<br />
operation. Shell CORENA ® <strong>Oil</strong> AP is designed<br />
to provide safe, reliable and effective lubrication<br />
for extended service periods where mineral<br />
compressor lubricants are unsatisfactory.<br />
• Extended service intervals<br />
The extreme low tendency for deposit<br />
build-up ensures continued high compressor<br />
performance over long periods. It enables the<br />
normal valve maintenance period, typically<br />
between 250 and 1000 hours <strong>of</strong> operation<br />
using conventional mineral oils, to be extended<br />
to 2000, or even 4000 hours.<br />
• Maximum safety for air lines<br />
Low deposit formation has a very important<br />
safety-related benefit. In discharge air-lines, the<br />
combination <strong>of</strong> rust particles, dispersed in<br />
carbonaceous deposits, coupled with heat<br />
from recently compressed air, can cause an<br />
exothermic reaction leading to the possibility <strong>of</strong><br />
fires and explosion. Shell CORENA ® <strong>Oil</strong> AP<br />
helps to minimize the likelihood <strong>of</strong> this danger.<br />
• Excellent rusting and wear protection<br />
Effectively protects all metal surfaces from<br />
corrosion. Protects all sensitive machinery parts,<br />
e.g. gears, screws, bearings, from wear and<br />
prolongs the service intervals.<br />
• Excellent oxidation resistance<br />
Resistant to the formation <strong>of</strong> carbon deposits<br />
and lacquer on valves and piston crowns at<br />
high working temperatures and pressures.<br />
Such deposits can cause serious damage,<br />
lower compressor efficiency and increase<br />
maintenance costs.<br />
• Excellent water separation properties<br />
Separates readily from water preventing<br />
accelerated corrosion and facilitating<br />
separation from condensate.<br />
Compressor <strong>Oil</strong><br />

• Prolonged service intervals<br />
Allows the interval between valve and piston<br />
maintenance to be extended. Compressors can<br />
be kept in service for much longer periods,<br />
operating at a consistently high level <strong>of</strong> efficiency.<br />
• Safe air lines<br />
In discharge air-lines, the combination <strong>of</strong> rust<br />
particles, dispersed in carbonaceous deposits,<br />
coupled with heat from recently compressed<br />
air, can cause an exothermic reaction leading<br />
to the possibility <strong>of</strong> fires and explosion. Shell<br />

temperatures and pressures. Such deposits can<br />
cause serious damage, lower compressor<br />
efficiency and increase maintenance costs.<br />
• Very good rusting and wear protection<br />
Effectively protects all metal surfaces from<br />
corrosion. Protects all sensitive machinery parts,<br />
e.g. housings, valves, bearings, from wear and<br />
prolongs the service intervals.<br />
• Very good air release and anti-foam properties<br />
The careful choice <strong>of</strong> additives ensures rapid air<br />
release without excessive foaming.<br />
• Very good water separation properties<br />
Shell CORENA ® <strong>Oil</strong> P separates readily from<br />
water allowing excess water to be drained from<br />

High quality synthetic fluids designed for rotary screw<br />
air compressors<br />
Shell CORENA ® <strong>Oil</strong>s PGE products are high quality synthetic fluids based on<br />
polyalkylene glycol and ester technology that are designed for use in rotary<br />
screw air (except breathing air) compressors. They are an excellent choice for<br />
service fill in situations where polyglycol-ester type lubricants are already in<br />
use as their application will avoid potential incompatibility problems.<br />
Performance Features and Benefits<br />
• They provide outstanding performance in the<br />
areas <strong>of</strong> thermal, hydrolytic and oxidative<br />
stability, resistance to sludge and varnish<br />
formation and <strong>of</strong>fer excellent heat transfer and<br />
anti-wear protection.<br />
• The low vapor pressure <strong>of</strong> Shell CORENA ® OIls<br />
PGE facilitate separation <strong>of</strong> lubricant from the<br />
compressed air, resulting in low<br />
make-up rates and minimal complications<br />
arising from the presence <strong>of</strong> entrained lubricants<br />
in downstream air.<br />
• The high viscosity indices and low pour points<br />
<strong>of</strong> Shell CORENA ® <strong>Oil</strong>s PGE result in their<br />
utility over a wide range <strong>of</strong> ambient<br />
operating conditions.<br />
Helps to provide:<br />
• Reduced component wear<br />
• Sludge and varnish control<br />
• Excellent thermal, oxidation and hydrolytic stability<br />
• Low volatilization losses<br />
Note: Shell CORENA ® <strong>Oil</strong>s PGE are NOT<br />
recommended for use in breathing air service.<br />
Main Applications<br />
Rotary screw air compressor design severely stresses<br />
the lubricant used, which must lubricate moving<br />
parts, remove the heat generated and seal against<br />
leaks. The high operating temperatures and severe<br />
oxidizing conditions encountered sharply limit the<br />
service <strong>of</strong> conventional petroleum based lubricants.<br />
Shell CORENA ® <strong>Oil</strong>s PGE compressor lubricants<br />
are specifically designed to provide extended<br />
drain intervals in this severe service. This series <strong>of</strong><br />

MADRELA ® <strong>Oil</strong> S compressor lubricant has a<br />
high viscosity index and a low pour point,<br />
which allows for its use in a wide range <strong>of</strong><br />
ambient and operating temperature ranges.<br />
Main Applications<br />
• Shell MADRELA ® <strong>Oil</strong> S compressor lubricant is<br />
recommended for use in oil flooded rotary vane<br />
and screw type compressors. The outstanding<br />
oxidative stability <strong>of</strong> this fluid makes it ideal for<br />
rotary and screw compressors, where the<br />
lubricant is injected directly into the gas stream.<br />
• The excellent lubricant life <strong>of</strong> Shell MADRELA ®<br />
<strong>Oil</strong> S compressor lubricant makes it especially<br />
suitable for use in those applications where<br />
production schedules do not allow for frequent<br />
shutdowns for maintenance and oil changes, or<br />
where location or inaccessibility <strong>of</strong> equipment<br />
makes frequent oil changes difficult.<br />
• Complex fluids like Shell MADRELA ® <strong>Oil</strong> S<br />
compressor lubricant are also ideal for use in<br />
applications where straight mineral oils have<br />
previously shown a history <strong>of</strong> undesirable<br />
deposit problems.<br />

Maintaining Shell Diesel Ready Fully Formulated Coolant/Antifreeze<br />
1. For top-up Shell Diesel Ready Fully Formulated Pre-diluted 50/50 or a 50/50 dilution <strong>of</strong> Shell Diesel<br />
Ready Fully Formulated Concentrate and water should be used.<br />
2. Freeze point should be checked at every oil change or at least twice per year. For optimum year round<br />
protection against freezing, boiling and corrosion, a 50/50 mix <strong>of</strong> Shell Diesel Ready Fully Formulated<br />
Concentrate and water is recommended. For maximum protection against freezing in extremely cold<br />
areas a 60% solution (3 parts Shell Diesel Ready Fully Formulated Concentrate and 2 parts water) can<br />
be used. Concentrations greater than 67% or less than 40% are not recommended.<br />
3. If doing a complete flush and refill, please note: Shell recommends flushing your system with clean<br />
water before you install Shell Diesel Ready Fully Formulated Coolant/Antifreeze. Shell does not<br />
recommend chemical flushes, but if significant deposits are visible use a commercial cooling system<br />
cleaner designed for your engine. Follow the manufacturer's flushing procedure and dispose <strong>of</strong><br />
properly. Be sure to flush the system thoroughly with water twice after chemical flushing.<br />
4. Coolant level should be kept at the proper level to prevent air entrapment, which could lead to<br />
corrosion problems.<br />
5. Shell Diesel Ready Fully Formulated Coolant requires the addition <strong>of</strong> supplemental coolant additives<br />
(SCA’s) on a regular basis. To determine when to add SCA’s use a test strip made for purple colored<br />
coolant. Coolant should be checked every 15,000 miles or at every oil change. Follow the recommendations<br />
<strong>of</strong> the SCA supplier to determine how much additive should be used based on the test strip results.<br />
6. In order to prevent the formation <strong>of</strong> silicate gel in storage containers, concentrated Shell Diesel Ready<br />
Fully Formulated should not be stored longer than 18 months without agitation, and should not be prediluted<br />
with supplemental coolant additives.<br />
Please note this product is compatible with commercially available supplemental coolant additives and other<br />
conventional and fully formulated coolants. It is not recommended this product be added to extended life<br />
coolants since over dilution <strong>of</strong> extended life coolants with conventional coolants may affect their performance.<br />

Shell Extended Life<br />
Coolant Conversion Fluid<br />
Shell Extended Life Coolant Conversion Fluid is an ethylene glycol/water<br />
based corrosion inhibitor super concentrate (red in color and containing<br />
nitrite/molybdate) designed to facilitate conversion <strong>of</strong> heavy duty diesel<br />
engine cooling systems from traditional coolant inhibitor technology to Shell<br />
ROTELLA ® ELC Coolant inhibitors. Based on patented carboxylate inhibitor<br />
technology, Shell Extended Life Coolant Conversion Fluid provides extended<br />
life corrosion protection for all engine metals, including aluminum, iron,<br />
steel, copper, brass and solder alloys. Shell Extended Life Coolant Conversion<br />
Fluid is compatible with most ethylene glycol-based engine coolants.<br />
Performance Features and Benefits<br />
• Up to 600,000 miles service before having to<br />
flush and fill<br />
• Excellent pitting protection for wet sleeve<br />
cylinder liners<br />
• Effective, long term corrosion protection for<br />
aluminum, brass, cast iron, steel, solder<br />
and copper<br />
• Outstanding hot surface aluminum protection<br />
• Easy coolant maintenance<br />
• No Supplemental Coolant Additives (SCA’s)<br />
needed ever again<br />
• No inhibitor level testing required<br />
• 100% biodegradable in its pure unused form<br />
Main Applications<br />
Shell Extended Life Coolant Conversion Fluid is<br />
intended for use as a quick and easy method to<br />
convert a fleet from traditional coolant inhibitor<br />
technology to Shell ROTELLA ® ELC Extended Life<br />
Coolant inhibitors. Use <strong>of</strong> Shell Extended Life<br />
Coolant Conversion Fluid permits transitioning an<br />
entire fleet to Shell ROTELLA ® ELC Extended Life<br />
Coolant without having to flush and fill every piece<br />
<strong>of</strong> equipment. In addition, conversion <strong>of</strong> cooling<br />
systems by this method reduces disposal <strong>of</strong> used<br />
coolant. Completely flushing the engine cooling<br />
system and filling with Shell ROTELLA ® ELC<br />
Extended Life Coolant is a superior conversion<br />
method to using Shell ELC Conversion Inhibitor<br />
since flushing removes most <strong>of</strong> the silicates,<br />
phosphates and other total dissolved solids that<br />
can build up in a cooling system over time. These<br />
dissolved solids have been found to be abrasive to<br />
water pump seals.<br />

Before Use<br />
Prior to application <strong>of</strong> Shell Extended Life Coolant<br />
Conversion Fluid to a vehicle’s cooling system, the<br />
traditional coolant must be tested to ensure it is in<br />
satisfactory condition. A test strip will be provided<br />
to test for freeze point, nitrite and pH. If the current<br />
coolant fails to meet any <strong>of</strong> the following criteria,<br />
its condition is considered not acceptable and the<br />
system should be completely flushed and filled with<br />
Shell ROTELLA ® ELC.<br />
Freeze point between 10° and –60° F<br />
(Glycol % – between 25 and 66%)<br />
Nitrite concentration – less than 3,000 ppm<br />
pH – between 8 and 11<br />
How Much to Use<br />
The recommended treatment amount <strong>of</strong> Shell<br />
Extended Life Coolant Conversion Fluid is one (1)<br />
gallon for every 12 gallons <strong>of</strong> cooling system capacity.<br />
1. Calculate the amount <strong>of</strong> Shell Extended Life<br />
Coolant Conversion Fluid needed<br />
2. Remove that amount <strong>of</strong> coolant from the system,<br />
if necessary<br />
3. Add the appropriate amount <strong>of</strong> Shell Extended<br />
Life Coolant Conversion Fluid<br />
The resultant carboxylate inhibitor level <strong>of</strong> the<br />
treated coolant is equivalent to that <strong>of</strong> a system<br />
filled with Shell ROTELLA ® ELC Extended Life<br />
Coolant Pre-diluted 50/50. Of course, traditional<br />
inhibitors and contaminants are still present in the<br />
cooling system.

After Use<br />
After Shell Extended Life Coolant Conversion Fluid<br />
is added, a sample <strong>of</strong> treated coolant should be<br />
submitted for analysis to ensure that Shell Extended<br />
Life Coolant Conversion Fluid has been added<br />
properly. The engine should be run for at least 30<br />
minutes at operating temperature prior to coolant<br />
sampling to insure complete mixing. A test report<br />
will be issued indicating a pass or fail condition on<br />
the treated coolant. If a failing condition is<br />
reported, the cooling system may require<br />
retreatment with Shell Extended Life Coolant<br />
Conversion Fluid or a complete flush and fill<br />

1. For top-up a 50/50 dilution <strong>of</strong> Shell Fully Formulated Phosphate Free Coolant and water or Shell Fully<br />
Formulated Phosphate Free Coolant 53/47 should be used.<br />
2. Freeze point should be checked at every oil change or at least twice per year. For optimum year round<br />
protection against freezing, boiling and corrosion, at least a 50/50 mix <strong>of</strong> Shell Fully Formulated<br />
Phosphate Free Coolant and water is recommended. For maximum protection against freezing in<br />
extremely cold areas a 60% solution (3 parts Shell Fully Formulated Phosphate Free Coolant<br />
Concentrate and 2 parts water) can be used. Concentrations greater than 67% or less than 40% are<br />
not recommended.<br />
3. If doing a complete flush and refill, please note: Shell recommends flushing your system with clean<br />
water before you install Shell Fully Formulated Phosphate Free Coolant/Antifreeze. Shell does not<br />
recommend chemical flushes, but if significant deposits are visible use a commercial cooling system<br />
cleaner designed for your engine. Follow the manufacturer's flushing procedure and dispose <strong>of</strong><br />
properly. Be sure to flush the system thoroughly with water twice after chemical flushing.<br />
4. Coolant level should be kept at the proper level to prevent air entrapment, which could lead to<br />
corrosion problems.<br />
5. Shell Fully Formulated Phosphate Free Coolant requires the addition <strong>of</strong> supplemental coolant additives<br />
(SCA’s) on a regular basis. To determine when to add SCA’s use a test strip made for purple colored<br />
coolant. Coolant should be checked every 15,000 miles or at every oil change. Follow the recommendations<br />
<strong>of</strong> the SCA supplier to determine how much additive should be used based on the test strip results.<br />
6. In order to prevent the formation <strong>of</strong> silicate gel in storage containers, concentrated Shell Fully<br />
Formulated Phosphate Free Coolant should not be stored longer than eighteen months without agitation.<br />
Please note this product is compatible with commercially available supplemental coolant additives and<br />
other conventional and fully formulated coolants. This product should not be added to extended life<br />
coolants since over dilution <strong>of</strong> extended life coolants with conventional coolants may adversely affect<br />
their performance.<br />

Converting to Shell Industrial ELC:<br />
The procedure below will allow a cooling system<br />
to be converted from using traditional coolants to<br />
the Shell Industrial ELC technology.<br />
• Allow cooling system to cool thoroughly.<br />
• Drain traditional coolant from cooling system.<br />
Dispose <strong>of</strong> all coolant according to all laws<br />
and regulations.<br />
• Fill cooling system with clean water and<br />
circulate system until normal operating<br />
temperatures are reached. Circulate system for<br />
15 to 30 minutes after reaching normal<br />
operating temperatures.<br />
• Check system for any leaks and replace any<br />
worn materials.<br />
• Drain the water from the cooling system<br />
completely. Dispose <strong>of</strong> all re-circulated water<br />
according to all laws and regulations. Water<br />
that remains in cooling system will affect the<br />
freeze point <strong>of</strong> new coolant when added.<br />
• Re-filling the cooling system<br />
A. If using Shell Industrial ELC<br />
Pre-diluted 50/50. Fill the cooling system<br />
about 9/10 full with Shell Industrial ELC<br />
Pre-diluted 50/50. Circulate system<br />
until normal operating temperature is<br />
reached. Test freeze point and adjust to<br />
between -15ºF and -62ºF. The optimal<br />
freeze point is -34ºF. For under<br />
concentrated systems use Shell Industrial<br />
ELC concentrate to make freeze point more<br />
negative. For over concentrated systems use<br />
water to make freeze point more positive.<br />
Coolants/Antifreeze<br />
86<br />
Circulated system after freeze point has<br />
been adjusted.<br />
B. If using Shell Industrial ELC concentrate.<br />
Determine the total cooling system volume<br />
and divide that number by 2. Fill half <strong>of</strong> the<br />
cooling system with Shell Industrial ELC<br />
concentrate. Top up to full level with<br />
deionized or good quality tap water.<br />
Circulate cooling system until normal<br />
operating temperature is reached.<br />
Test freeze point and adjust to between<br />
-15ºF and -62ºF. The optimal freeze point is<br />
-34ºF. For under concentrated systems use<br />
Shell Industrial ELC concentrate to make<br />
freeze point more negative. For over<br />
concentrated systems use good quality<br />
water to make freeze point more positive.<br />
C. Use a refractometer to check freeze point<br />
after addition <strong>of</strong> top up fluid.<br />
Maintaining Shell Industrial ELC:<br />
1. Check coolant level regularly. If systems are<br />
prone to leaking more frequent checking <strong>of</strong> the<br />
cooling system is recommended to maintain<br />
proper fluid levels. Top up as required with Shell<br />
Industrial ELC Pre-diluted 50/50. Coolant levels<br />
should be maintained at proper levels to insure<br />
correct cooling system operation and avoid<br />
headspace corrosion.<br />
2. For systems using ethylene glycol or propylene<br />
glycol check freeze point at least twice per year<br />
using a refractometer and adjust to between<br />
-15ºF and -62ºF. Optimum freeze point is -34ºF.
3. Do not contaminate Shell Industrial ELC by<br />
more than 15% with non-equivalent products.<br />
If contamination <strong>of</strong> the cooling system is<br />
suspected use either the ELC Contamination Test<br />
Strip or contact your local Shell representative<br />
so that he/she can assist in helping you submit<br />
a sample to our testing laboratory to be sure<br />
inhibitor levels are still within safe operating<br />
range. For more information on testing call<br />
1-800-782-7852, Option 3.<br />
4. Shell Industrial ELC should be tested once per<br />
year to confirm coolant condition and to<br />
evaluate cooling system for corrosion products<br />
and wear metals. A coolant-testing program is<br />
available for Shell Industrial ELC users. All<br />
coolant samples must be submitted in approved<br />
containers. Contact your local Shell<br />
representative for information.<br />

Main Applications<br />
Shell ROTELLA ® ELC Extended Life Coolant/Anti-<br />
Freeze has been proven, with fleet testing, to<br />
provide complete protection <strong>of</strong> all cooling system<br />
components. The inhibitors in Shell ROTELLA ® ELC,<br />
due to their special chemistry, are designed to go<br />
600,000 miles or 12,000 hours with only one<br />
Shell ROTELLA ® ELC Extender addition at 300,000<br />
miles or 6,000 hours. After 600,000 miles or<br />
12,000 hours it is recommended that the coolant<br />
be tested for continued use.<br />
Shell ROTELLA ® ELC utilizes patented inhibitors to<br />
provide complete cooling system component<br />
protection, help reduce water pump failure, hard<br />
water scale deposits, silicate dropout (green goo)<br />
and improve heat transfer.<br />
Maintenance is simple. To use this product just<br />
follow your OEM’s instructions on how to drain,<br />
flush and refill your cooling system and then top up<br />
only with Shell ROTELLA ® ELC Pre-diluted 50/50.<br />
At every PM, or at least twice per year, check the<br />
color and freeze point <strong>of</strong> your coolant. If coolant is<br />
red, has no deposits and has a freeze point <strong>of</strong><br />
between –15ºF and –60ºF then the coolant is<br />
considered suitable for continued use. See index<br />
for freeze point adjustment chart. Please note that<br />
dilution <strong>of</strong> Shell ROTELLA ® ELC by more than 15%<br />
with non-equivalent coolants or water is not<br />
recommended. Over-dilution will require initiating<br />
SCA use or draining and refilling the cooling<br />
system with Shell ROTELLA ® ELC. If contamination<br />
with non-equivalent /non-extended life coolants<br />
is suspected, it is recommended the ELC<br />
Contamination Test Strip Kit be used to confirm<br />
satisfactory carboxylate inhibitor content.<br />

103 Cylinder <strong>Oil</strong>
Shell ALEXIA ® <strong>Oil</strong> LS<br />
Special cylinder oil for low-speed diesel engines<br />
Shell ALEXIA ® <strong>Oil</strong> LS is a special 40BN, SAE 50 cylinder lubricant, for<br />
improved piston running conditions in low speed crosshead diesel engines<br />
burning low sulfur fuels.<br />
Performance Features and Benefits<br />
Reduced piston deposits<br />
• The reduced ash level <strong>of</strong> Shell ALEXIA ® <strong>Oil</strong> LS<br />
helps to avoid excessive piston top land<br />
deposits, which can sometimes build up when<br />
70BN oils are used with low sulfur fuel.<br />
Good piston ring and port cleanliness<br />
• Shell ALEXIA ® <strong>Oil</strong> LS contains “hidden”<br />
detergency, not reflected in the BN <strong>of</strong> the<br />
product. This enables it to keep the ring belt<br />
and scavenge air ports clean in spite <strong>of</strong> the<br />
reduced BN.<br />
Greater feed rate flexibility<br />
• The control <strong>of</strong> deposits and lower ash allows<br />
Shell ALEXIA ® <strong>Oil</strong> LS to be used over a wider<br />
range <strong>of</strong> feed rates with less danger <strong>of</strong><br />
excessive deposits, than a 70BN cylinder oil.<br />
Main Applications<br />
• Cylinders <strong>of</strong> low-speed crosshead diesel<br />
engines burning fuels with sulfur content below<br />
2%wt, where the designer recommends a lower<br />
Base Number (BN) oil to reduce the risk <strong>of</strong><br />
“sudden severe wear” or scuffing.<br />

105 Cylinder <strong>Oil</strong>
Shell MADRELA ® <strong>Oil</strong> GP<br />
Synthetic lubricant for gas compressors<br />
Shell MADRELA ® <strong>Oil</strong> GP has been specially developed for cylinder lubrication<br />
<strong>of</strong> reciprocating compressors handling natural gas at high pressure. It is<br />
based on polyglycol base fluids and <strong>of</strong>fers significant benefits over mineral oil<br />
based products, especially in gas re-injection compressor applications.<br />
Performance Features and Benefits<br />
• Reduced hydrocarbon gas solubility<br />
Developed specifically to provide reduced gas<br />
solubility. This results in reduced viscosity loss in<br />
comparison with mineral oil-based products,<br />
improving piston ring and packing lubrication.<br />
Service intervals can be extended, reducing<br />
maintenance and downtime costs.<br />
• Reduced feed rate<br />
The improved lubrication allows a reduction in<br />
cylinder feed rates, reducing lubricant<br />
consumption and costs.<br />
• Lubricant film retention<br />
The reduced viscosity loss also results in<br />
retention <strong>of</strong> a stronger lubricant film on the<br />
cylinder wall, piston rings and packing<br />
components. Corrosion protection is increased<br />
and wear rates further reduced<br />
• No effect on well formation<br />
In gas re-injection applications, Shell<br />
MADRELA ® <strong>Oil</strong> GP present as carryover in the<br />
re-injected gas, is compatible with well bore<br />
treatment chemicals and resists deposit<br />
formation and well impairment caused by<br />
plugging <strong>of</strong> the well strata.<br />
Main Applications<br />
• Gas re-injection compressors<br />
Recommended for cylinder lubrication <strong>of</strong><br />
reciprocating compressors used for oilfield gas<br />
re-injection at pressures <strong>of</strong> up to 400 bar.<br />
• LPG and LNG vehicle fueling<br />
Suitable for use in compressors handling natural<br />
and petroleum gas for vehicle fueling applications.<br />
• Reciprocating gas compressors handling<br />
hydrocarbon and other gases<br />
Shell MADRELA ® <strong>Oil</strong> GP may also be used for<br />
compression <strong>of</strong> hydrocarbon process gases,<br />
carbon dioxide, hydrogen, helium and nitrogen.<br />

Special changeover procedures are required when<br />
moving from mineral oil-based products to Shell<br />
MADRELA ® <strong>Oil</strong> GP and vice versa.<br />
Advice on applications not covered in this<br />
handbook may be obtained from your Shell<br />
representative.<br />
Compatibility and Miscibility<br />
Seal compatibility<br />
Shell MADRELA ® <strong>Oil</strong> GP may be used with most<br />
common seal and packing materials. However,<br />
leather seals are not recommended for use with<br />
polyglycol-based lubricants, as the natural fats tend<br />
to be removed causing seal shrinkage and hardening.<br />

107 Cylinder <strong>Oil</strong>
Shell VALVATA ® <strong>Oil</strong>s J<br />
Compounded steam cylinder oil<br />
Shell VALVATA ® <strong>Oil</strong>s J are quality refined, high viscosity mineral oils<br />
compounded with a small percentage <strong>of</strong> fatty oils. They are used, primarily,<br />
for the lubrication <strong>of</strong> steam cylinders working under high temperature, high<br />
pressure conditions, where low carbon formation and ‘steam washing’ are<br />
important considerations. They atomize more easily and with steam <strong>of</strong><br />
moderate superheat and produce more tenacious lubricating films than<br />
‘straight’ grades <strong>of</strong> the same viscosity.<br />
Performance Features and Benefits<br />
• Good thermal resistance and oxidation stability<br />
Possess low volatility and a natural resistance to<br />
the formation <strong>of</strong> gummy or carbonaceous<br />
deposits in high temperature conditions.<br />
• Tenacious lubricating oil film<br />
Provides effective lubrication and corrosion<br />
protection even when subjected to heavy<br />
steam-washing conditions<br />
Main Applications<br />
• Seam cylinder lubrication<br />
• Low speed enclosed gears<br />
• Certain worm gears<br />
Advice on applications not covered in this<br />
handbook may be obtained from your<br />
Shell representative.<br />
Steam Engine Lubrication<br />
In steam engines, the lubrication requirement <strong>of</strong> the<br />
cylinders and other parts exposed to steam differ<br />
from those <strong>of</strong> bearings and other external parts<br />
working under far less arduous conditions. The<br />
lubrication requirements <strong>of</strong> cylinders and bearings<br />
must be considered separately.<br />
Steam Cylinder Lubrication<br />
The function <strong>of</strong> a steam-cylinder lubricant is to form<br />
an oil film that will adequately lubricate the<br />
rubbing surfaces at high operating temperatures<br />
and also prevent leakage past valves, pistons and<br />
glands. Efficient atomization, easy spreading over<br />
the working surfaces and the ability to resist<br />
scouring action <strong>of</strong> the steam (the washing effect <strong>of</strong><br />
water) are other important properties.<br />
Steam-cylinder oils are classified according to<br />
Cylinder <strong>Oil</strong><br />
108<br />
steam temperature and engine power. The higher<br />
the steam temperature the more powerful the<br />
engine, the greater will be the required heat<br />
stability which is generally related to viscosity.<br />
Compounded oils, such as Shell VALVATA ® <strong>Oil</strong>s J,<br />
have an advantage over ‘straight’ grades under<br />
environments <strong>of</strong> moderate superheat. However,<br />
fatty oils volatilize under high superheat conditions<br />
and show little advantage over ‘straight’ grades<br />
under these conditions. Because <strong>of</strong> their<br />
emulsification properties, compounded oils may be<br />
difficult to separate from water. Where water<br />
separation is important, a ‘non fatty’ lubricant,<br />
such as Shell VITREA ® <strong>Oil</strong>s, should be used.<br />
Bearing Lubrication <strong>of</strong> Steam Engines<br />
There are two types <strong>of</strong> crankcase engine, the open<br />
and the enclosed type:<br />
For open crankcase bearing lubrication<br />
ordinary machine oils, such as Shell VITREA ® <strong>Oil</strong>,<br />
are suitable.<br />
Enclosed crankcase engines have force-feed<br />
circulating systems where the oil is liable to be<br />
contaminated with water through steam leakage.<br />
The oil must, therefore, separate readily from the<br />
water so that it can drain <strong>of</strong>f from time to time.<br />
SHELL TURBO ® <strong>Oil</strong>s T are recommended for<br />
this purpose.<br />
Low Speed Enclosed Gears<br />
Shell VALVATA ® <strong>Oil</strong>s J may be used to advantage in<br />
worm gears prone to suffer extensive wear and to<br />
reduce the bulk oil temperature. Typical examples<br />
are gears running at low speed under stop-start<br />
conditions.

Shell MYSELLA ® <strong>Oil</strong>s<br />
High performance ash-free oil for stationary gas engines<br />
Shell MYSELLA ® <strong>Oil</strong>s are a heavy-duty lubricants for high performance<br />
natural gas engines which require an ‘ashless’ product. Using ashless<br />
technology developed by Shell, Shell MYSELLA ® <strong>Oil</strong>s minimize engine wear,<br />
deposits in combustion chambers and exhaust ports and viscosity increase<br />
in service.<br />
Performance Features and Benefits<br />
• Excellent engine cleanliness<br />
New engines will remain almost deposit-free.<br />
The detergency <strong>of</strong> Shell MYSELLA ® <strong>Oil</strong>s will<br />
work to clean the heavy coatings <strong>of</strong> varnish<br />
from older engines which have used lower<br />
quality oils. (This cleansing action takes place<br />
gradually, thereby reducing the chance <strong>of</strong><br />
blocking oil screens or filters with dislodged<br />
deposits.)<br />
• Minimal cylinder deposits<br />
The ‘ashless’ formulation <strong>of</strong> Shell MYSELLA ®<br />
<strong>Oil</strong>s enable spark plugs to remain almost ‘as<br />
new’, with their lifetime limited only by spark<br />
gap erosion. It also virtually eliminates<br />
detonation and pre-ignition, due to the absence<br />
<strong>of</strong> deposit ‘hot spots.’<br />
• Clean cylinder ports<br />
Shell MYSELLA ® <strong>Oil</strong>s combine a low tendency<br />
to form carbon with a strong detergency system,<br />
to avoid port plugging in 2-stroke (2-cycle)<br />
engines.<br />
• Protection from wear<br />
Shell MYSELLA ® <strong>Oil</strong>s protect and minimize<br />
scuffing during the running-in (break-in) period.<br />
• Long oil and filter life<br />
Shell MYSELLA ® <strong>Oil</strong>s are highly resistant to<br />
nitration and oxidation, which cause filter<br />
deposits, viscosity increase and acid build-up.<br />
Main Applications<br />
• 2 and 4 stroke (2 and 4 cycle) spark-ignited<br />
engines fueled by natural gas and LP gas,<br />
which require or perform well with an ashless<br />
oil, including the following types:<br />
Allis-Chalmers, Ajax, Caterpillar (except 3400,<br />
3500, 3600), Clark, Climax, Colt-Fairbanks<br />

Main Applications<br />
The last decade has seen a gradual increase in the<br />
average horsepower produced by outboard<br />
engines, the introduction <strong>of</strong> fuel and lubricant<br />
injection systems, the phasing out <strong>of</strong> leaded fuels<br />
along with trends to higher fuel to oil ratios. More<br />
recently, new challenges such as smoke emissions<br />
and environmental concerns have come the<br />
forefront. In addition, today’s outboard engines<br />
must be able to withstand the effects <strong>of</strong> higher<br />
speed and much higher temperatures.<br />
In response to the needs <strong>of</strong> outboard engine<br />
manufacturers, the NMMA defined the TC-W3<br />
standard <strong>of</strong> performance. This standard, is<br />
designed to increase the quality <strong>of</strong> lubricants<br />
available to the industry and the public. This new<br />
standard <strong>of</strong> quality will result in longer, trouble-free<br />
engine life by <strong>of</strong>fering vastly improved lubricity and<br />
anti-scuffing protection over the former TC-W II<br />
specification. In addition, superior dispersants<br />
ensure peak engine performance by keeping<br />
pistons clean and free <strong>of</strong> deposits.<br />
Shell NAUTILUS ® is formulated and tested to<br />
exceed the NMMA TC-W3 standard. To the<br />
boating enthusiasts, Shell NAUTILUS ® provides the<br />
ultimate in protection and performance in all water<br />
cooled, two cycle outboard engines.<br />

Change over Procedure<br />
When changing from a lubricant based on mineral<br />
oil or PAO, the following procedure must be<br />
followed:<br />
• With equipment at normal operating<br />
temperature, drain the oil <strong>of</strong>f as completely as<br />
possible. Special attention should be paid to<br />
reservoirs, lines etc. where oil may be trapped.<br />
• The system must be flushed with the new<br />
lubricant, which should then be drained before
efilling with fresh, new lubricant. Do not use<br />
Shell CASSIDA ® Flushing Fluid for flushing a<br />
system prior to filling with Shell CASSIDA ®<br />
Fluid WG.<br />
Note: Seals previously exposed to mineral oils may<br />
shrink when exposed to Shell CASSIDA ® Fluid<br />
WG. This can result in oil leaks. It may be<br />
necessary to replace these seals.<br />

Shell OMALA ® <strong>Oil</strong>s<br />
High quality industrial gear and bearing oils<br />
Shell OMALA ® <strong>Oil</strong>s are high quality, lead-free, extreme-pressure oils<br />
designed, primarily, for the lubrication <strong>of</strong> heavy duty industrial gears. Their<br />
high load carrying capacity and anti-friction characteristics combine to <strong>of</strong>fer<br />
superior performance in gears and other industrial applications.<br />
Performance Features and Benefits<br />
• Outstanding oxidation and thermal stability<br />
Withstands high thermal loading and resists the<br />
formation <strong>of</strong> sludge. Provides extended oil life,<br />
even with bulk oil temperatures <strong>of</strong> up to 100°C<br />
in certain applications.<br />
• Effective corrosion inhibition<br />
Protects both steel and bronze components,<br />
even in the presence <strong>of</strong> contamination by water<br />
and solids.<br />
• Lead-free<br />
Operator acceptability. Reduces health and<br />
product removal risks.<br />
• Wide range <strong>of</strong> viscosities<br />
Provides for the most varied and arduous<br />
industrial applications.<br />
• Water shedding properties<br />
Shell OMALA ® <strong>Oil</strong>s also have excellent water<br />
separation properties, such that excess water<br />
can be drained easily from lubrication systems.<br />
Water can greatly accelerate surface fatigue<br />
with gears and bearings as well as promoting<br />
ferrous corrosion on internal surfaces. Water<br />
contamination should therefore be avoided or<br />
removed as quickly as possible after the<br />
occurrence.<br />
• Excellent Load Carrying Capacity<br />
Reduces gear tooth and bearing wear on both<br />
steel and bronze components. The load<br />
carrying capacity <strong>of</strong> Shell OMALA ® <strong>Oil</strong>s, as<br />
determined in laboratory tests, is significantly<br />
better than that <strong>of</strong> leaded gear oils. Gear tooth<br />
wear is reduced, particularly under conditions<br />
<strong>of</strong> high load.<br />
Main Applications<br />
Shell OMALA ® <strong>Oil</strong>s are formulated using high<br />
viscosity index, solvent refined, base oils and<br />
incorporate a special sulphur-phosphorus additive<br />
to provide an extreme pressure performance which<br />
allows trouble free application in following areas:<br />
• Steel gear transmissions<br />
• Industrial gear drives where a full EP<br />
performance is required<br />
• Bearings<br />
• Circulating and splash lubricated systems<br />
For automotive hypoid gears, the appropriate Shell<br />
SPIRAX ® <strong>Oil</strong> should be used, as the Shell OMALA ®<br />
<strong>Oil</strong>s are not designed for this purpose.<br />

prior to grease injection to prevent contaminants<br />
from entering the equipment. Bearing housing<br />
should be maintained one-third to one-half full <strong>of</strong><br />
grease. Over-greasing should be avoided as<br />
excessive heat build-up can result. Periodic<br />
relubrication via grease gun or centralized system<br />
should be supplemented by complete cleaning and<br />
packing with fresh grease on an appropriate<br />
schedule. Shell greases are available with drum<br />
liners to facilitate container disposal.<br />

grade (base oil viscosity and soap content) will not<br />
flow easily through centralized lubrication systems.<br />
Advice on applications not covered in this<br />
handbook may be obtained from your<br />
Shell representative.<br />
Specifications, Approvals, and<br />
Recommendations<br />
• Heavy duty industrial applications, especially<br />
where excessive exposure to water is a problem<br />
• For use in paper and steel mill applications<br />
• Severe service applications found in the<br />
construction, mining, and forestry industries<br />
Maintenance<br />
Maintaining a clean work environment is critical<br />
when equipment greasing is performed. Grease<br />
fittings should be wiped clean prior to grease<br />
injection to prevent contaminants from entering the<br />
equipment. Bearing housings should be maintained<br />
one-third to one-half full <strong>of</strong> grease. Over-greasing<br />
should be avoided as excessive heat buildup can<br />
result. Periodic relubrication via grease gun or<br />
centralized system should be supplemented by<br />
complete cleaning and packing with fresh grease<br />
on an appropriate schedule.<br />

Shell ALBIDA ® Grease WR<br />
Lithium complex grease for heavy-duty industrial applications<br />
Shell ALBIDA ® Grease WR is a specially formulated lithium complex grease<br />
containing high viscosity mineral oils for heavy-duty industrial applications.<br />
It contains additive packages that promote oxidative stability, and<br />
outstanding resistance to water spray <strong>of</strong>f. It is suitable for high temperature,<br />
heavily loaded bearings in very wet environments, such as steel mills and<br />
paper mills.<br />
Performance Features and Benefits<br />
Shell ALBIDA ® Grease WR contains lithium<br />
complex thickeners that provide thermal stability<br />
at high temperatures. Since many steel mill<br />
applications contain centralized lubrication through<br />
unheated transfer lines, this lithium complex grease<br />
has been formulated to have exceptional mobility<br />
as measured by the USS Mobility Test. Under<br />
these conditions, mobility @ 0 F (-17.8 C) is 3 to<br />
5 g/min.<br />
• Water resistance is also <strong>of</strong> paramount<br />
importance in many steel mill applications.<br />
ASTM D 4049 water spray <strong>of</strong>f is geared<br />
toward providing a measure <strong>of</strong> this property.<br />
Shell ALBIDA ® Grease WR has been<br />
formulated to provide better than 15 wt. %<br />
spray <strong>of</strong>f at 100°C.<br />
• Promotes long bearing life<br />

oxidation stability<br />
• Exceptional water resistance<br />
• Outstanding low temperature mobility<br />
Main Applications<br />
• Heavy duty bearings in high temperature and<br />
wet environments<br />
• Designed to provide exceptional mobility in<br />
centralized lubrication systems<br />
Advice on applications not covered in this<br />
handbook may be obtained from your<br />
Shell representative.<br />
Specifications, Approvals, and<br />
Recommendations<br />
• Suitable for use in heavy duty<br />
industrial equipment<br />
• Adverse conditions, such as high temperature<br />
• Heavy and continuous shock loading<br />
• Used in centralized grease systems and in<br />
manual greasing applications<br />
Product Maintenance<br />
Maintaining a clean work environment is critical<br />
when equipment greasing is performed. Grease<br />
fittings should be wiped clean prior to grease<br />
injection to prevent contaminants from entering the<br />
equipment. Bearing housings should be maintained<br />
one-third to one-half full <strong>of</strong> grease. Over-greasing<br />
should be avoided as excessive heat buildup can<br />
result. Periodic relubrication via grease gun or<br />
centralized system should be supplemented by<br />
complete cleaning and packing with fresh grease<br />
on an appropriate schedule. Shell greases are<br />
available in lined containers to facilitate disposal in<br />
compliance with local regulations.<br />

Shell ALVANIA ® Grease CG<br />
For couplings used in industrial equipment<br />
Shell ALVANIA ® Grease CG is specially formulated with a lithium<br />
soap/polymer thickener, which has excellent resistance to oil separation<br />
when subjected to the high centrifugal forces normally found in couplings.<br />
Performance Features and Benefits<br />
Shell ALVANIA ® Grease CG has a consistency that<br />
overlaps the NLGI grades 0 and 1. This grease is<br />
specially formulated with a lithium/polymer<br />
thickener and fortified with corrosion, oxidation,<br />
extreme pressure and an effective rust inhibitor<br />
additive package.<br />
Its high viscosity base oil and tackifier combine to<br />
help keep the grease in place and prevent<br />
separation in the ASTM D 4425, High Speed<br />
Centrifugal Test, which develops G forces in excess<br />
<strong>of</strong> 36,000 at 15,000 rpm, Shell ALVANIA ®<br />
Grease CG exhibits little or no oil separation.<br />
• Resistance to centrifugal separation<br />
• Extended relubrication frequency<br />
• High load carrying capabilities<br />
• Resistance to water washout<br />
• Stays in place under high speeds<br />
• Corrosion and rust protection<br />
• Minimizes coupling wear<br />
• Minimizes coupling freeze-up<br />
• Use at temperatures up to 325°F<br />
• One grease for all grease coupling types<br />
Based on ASTM D 1478 and D 4693 torque tests,<br />
the minimum recommended bearing lubrication<br />
service would be -10°F. For coupling service the<br />
minimum usable temperature is not dependent<br />
upon ease <strong>of</strong> pumping or bearing breakaway<br />
force. Field service confirms problem-free coupling<br />
service at -20°F and below. Actual minimum<br />
temperature for coupling service would be<br />
below -20°F.<br />
Main Applications<br />
Shell ALVANIA ® Grease CG is suitable for all types<br />
<strong>of</strong> grease lubricated couplings used in industrial<br />
equipment. Common grease lubricated<br />
couplings include:<br />
• Geared Couplings that have internal and<br />
external spur gears that mesh within a common<br />
rotating hub connecting the shafts.<br />
• Steel Grid Couplings that have a convoluted<br />
band <strong>of</strong> flexible spring steel physically linking<br />
the hubs together.<br />
• Flexible Chain Couplings that have a roller<br />
chain that meshes with a sprocket cut in each<br />
mating hub.<br />
Advanced technology has enabled Shell ALVANIA ®<br />
Grease CG to perform beyond the normal 6-month<br />
change interval. In actual field experience this<br />
grease has shown its ability to perform<br />
satisfactorily beyond 3 years. This product should<br />
be used in all grease couplings, especially in<br />
those hard to service or those operating under<br />
severe conditions.<br />
Shell ALVANIA ® Grease CG is also suitable for use<br />
in other industrial applications where the<br />
equipment is subject to high water wash, low<br />
speeds and heavy or shock loads.<br />

Product Maintenance<br />
The tacky nature <strong>of</strong> the product makes hand<br />
packing the preferred method <strong>of</strong> newly installed<br />
couplings to ensure even distribution throughout.<br />
Normal handling precautions should be observed<br />
as with any petroleum-based products. Consult the<br />
coupling manufacturer’s installation instructions for<br />
detailed lubricant application procedures. The<br />
following procedure outlines a popular lubrication<br />
method. Prior to assembly <strong>of</strong> gear couplings a<br />
coating <strong>of</strong> grease should be applied to gear teeth.<br />
After hand packing, the coupling should be rotated<br />
so the grease fitting reaches 4 o’clock, and the<br />
fitting/plug removed. A short length <strong>of</strong> 1/4-inch<br />
pipe can be affixed and grease pumped into the<br />
coupling until product is observed flowing out the<br />
purge opening at 10 o’clock. The pipe should then<br />
be removed and the plugs reinserted. This practice<br />
insures that the coupling is adequately lubricated.<br />
Routine relubrication can be accomplished with<br />

disassembly using this method. The grease will<br />
then be evenly distributed to all moving and sliding<br />
surfaces and the full benefits <strong>of</strong> the product will be<br />
realized. Special care needs to be taken when<br />
filling “Full Travel” type couplings so the correct<br />
amount <strong>of</strong> grease is charged.<br />

Shell ALVANIA ® Greases WFX<br />
Wheel-flange railroad greases<br />
Shell ALVANIA ® Greases WFX 0, 1 and 2 are lithium soap greases fortified<br />
with a specifically formulated multipurpose additive package for use as<br />
railroad track lubricants. These greases may also find applications in<br />
construction, mining and agricultural equipment.<br />
Performance Features and Benefits<br />
Shell ALVANIA ® Greases WFX are lithium soap<br />
thickened greases made with highly refined base<br />
oils, a special EP additive package and 3%<br />
molybdenum disulfide. The molybdenum disulfide<br />
acts to enhance anti-wear and load carrying<br />
properties, which are critical for the transport <strong>of</strong><br />
railcars over the track. A highly shear stable<br />
tackifier improves grease adhesion to track surfaces<br />
and helps prevent oil bleeding. These greases also<br />
<strong>of</strong>fer good resistance to the mechanical shear<br />
associated with trackside lubricator operation.<br />
Shell ALVANIA ® Grease WFX 1 has shown to be<br />
very pumpable and to carry especially well on the<br />
track in cold weather. It is suitable for cold weather<br />
(winter) applications.<br />
Shell ALVANIA ® Grease WFX 2 has been designed<br />
to improve the lubricity and durability <strong>of</strong> the grease<br />
under the conditions imposed by hot weather. It is<br />
suitable for warm weather (summer) applications.<br />
Shell ALVANIA ® Grease WFX 0 was designed for<br />
maximum pumpability and ease <strong>of</strong> handling under<br />
extreme cold conditions.<br />
Benefits<br />
• Enhanced wear protection <strong>of</strong> wheels and track<br />
• Excellent heavy and shock load protection<br />
• Excellent adherence to track even under adverse<br />
weather conditions<br />
• Suitability for a variety <strong>of</strong> track and wheel<br />
lubricator systems<br />
• Special formulation to reduce product loss at the<br />
application site<br />
Main Applications<br />
• The frictional forces developed by steel train<br />
wheels on the rail combined with the steering<br />
forces exerted by the rail rubbing against the<br />
wheel increases energy consumption and<br />
accelerates the wear <strong>of</strong> both wheel (tread and<br />
flange) and rail. This can be a serious problem,<br />
particularly for railway systems operating<br />
heavily loaded unit trains or those having<br />
numerous curves.<br />
• Shell ALVANIA ® Greases WFX are specially<br />
formulated to meet the pumpability, adhesion,<br />
and load carrying requirements <strong>of</strong> a<br />
track lubricant.<br />
• Shell ALVANIA ® Greases WFX are formulated to<br />
perform well when used on any equipment<br />
subjected to conditions <strong>of</strong> high loads and<br />
temperature extremes and provide excellent<br />
resistance to rust and corrosion.<br />
• Shell ALVANIA ® Grease WFX 0 is especially<br />
suited for severe cold weather operations.<br />
Advice on applications not covered in this<br />
handbook may be obtained from your<br />
Shell representative.<br />
Specifications, Approvals, and<br />
Recommendations<br />
Shell ALVANIA ® Greases WFX 0, 1 and 2 are<br />
suitable for conventional railroad trackside and/or<br />
wheel/flange lubrication systems designed to<br />
handle greases, including lubricators made by KLF<br />
Lubriquip (formerly Madison-Kipp), Bijur, Portec and<br />
Moore and Steele.<br />
• Though all three greases can be used for winter<br />
and summer applications,<br />
• Shell ALVANIA ® Grease WFX 1 is<br />
recommended for use in cold weather because<br />
<strong>of</strong> its excellent pumpability.<br />
• Shell ALVANIA ® Grease WFX 0 is<br />
recommended for extreme cold weather<br />
applications. It has been formulated for<br />
maximum pumpability and ease <strong>of</strong> handling<br />
under such conditions.<br />
• Shell ALVANIA ® Grease WFX 2 is best suited for<br />
warm weather applications.<br />

Product Maintenance<br />
Trackside and wheel lubricators require routine<br />
maintenance for proper long-term operation. Seals<br />
must be kept in good condition to prevent leakage<br />
and lubricator nozzles should be kept clear so that<br />
they apply the correct spray pattern.<br />

241 Grease
Shell Gear Greases TM and TM-H<br />
Locomotive traction motor gear greases<br />
Shell TM-H Gear Grease and Shell TM Gear Grease are lithium soap<br />
thickened gear lubricants containing extreme pressure additives. These<br />
products are especially suitable for the lubrication <strong>of</strong> railroad locomotive<br />
traction motor gears.<br />
Performance Features and Benefits<br />
Shell TM-H Gear Grease is a lithium soap<br />
thickened traction motor gear lubricant<br />
using a high viscosity base oil blend and a<br />
sulfur/phosphorus extreme pressure agent. The<br />
Brookfield Apparent Viscosity (BAV) is in the range<br />
<strong>of</strong> 15,000-20,000 cP at 200°F. Shell TM-H Gear<br />
Grease is best used in situations where leakage is<br />
a major problem.<br />
Shell TM Gear Grease is comparable to Shell TM-H<br />
Gear Grease but has a slightly lower BAV range <strong>of</strong><br />
5,000-10,000 cP at 200°F. The decrease in BAV<br />
can be attributed to a slightly lower lithium soap<br />
thickener content. Shell TM Gear Grease was<br />
developed for railroads preferring a lighter<br />
product than Shell TM-H Gear Grease and for<br />
cold weather operations.<br />
• Long term and efficient gear protection<br />
against wear<br />
• Excellent lubrication for highly loaded gears<br />
• Ability to perform well under all types<br />
<strong>of</strong> conditions<br />
Main Applications<br />
Shell TM-H Gear Grease and Shell TM Gear<br />
Grease are specifically designed to lubricate the<br />
traction motor gear cases <strong>of</strong> all locomotives<br />
including the newest, high horsepower per<br />
axle units.<br />
These products should not be used to lubricate<br />
anti-friction bearings<br />

Shell Grease FM 2<br />
Multipurpose grease for the food industry<br />
Shell Grease FM 2 is a mineral oil based NSF H1 registered food grade<br />
grease with excellent performance features. The use <strong>of</strong> an aluminum<br />
complex thickener system in combination with a “white oil” base fluid results<br />
in excellent anti-wear and load carrying properties. The thickener system in<br />
combination with carefully selected additives results in resistance to rust,<br />
corrosion and oxidation. In applications where water contamination is a<br />
concern, Shell Grease FM 2 is highly resistant to water washout.<br />
Shell Grease FM 2 is formulated in accordance with US FDA Regulation 21<br />
CFR 178.3570. Shell Grease FM 2 is registered with NSF International as an<br />
H1 lubricant.<br />

Product Maintenance<br />
Maintaining a clean work environment is critical<br />
when equipment greasing is performed. Grease<br />
fittings should be wiped clean prior to grease<br />
injection to prevent contaminants from entering the<br />
equipment. Bearing housings should be maintained<br />
one-third to one-half full <strong>of</strong> grease. Over-greasing<br />
should be avoided as excessive heat buildup can<br />
result. Periodic relubrication via grease gun or<br />
centralized system should be supplemented by<br />
complete cleaning and packing with fresh grease<br />
on an appropriate schedule.<br />
Conversion Guide<br />
When upgrading from another food grade<br />
grease product to Shell Grease FM 2, product<br />
compatibility should be considered. Commonly,<br />
mixing dissimilar grease thickener systems such as<br />
aluminum complex and calcium sulfonate complex<br />
will result in a s<strong>of</strong>ter mixture than either original<br />
product. A temporary adjustment in relubrication<br />
frequency during product transition may<br />
be required.<br />
When converting from a non-food grade grease<br />
to Shell Grease FM 2 thorough purging is<br />
recommended. Equipment disassembly and<br />
cleaning prior to initial use <strong>of</strong> food grade grease<br />
may be needed.

Shell RETINAX ® Grease TL 00<br />
Trailer Wheel and Hub Lubricant<br />
Shell RETINAX ® Grease TL 00 is a premium quality grease formulated with a<br />
selected synthetic base fluid and a lithium complex thickener system to<br />
produce a semi-fluid grease. The use <strong>of</strong> extreme pressure additives as part<br />
<strong>of</strong> the additive package in Shell RETINAX ® Grease TL 00 provides protection<br />
in cases <strong>of</strong> shock loading. Shock loading can lead to rupture <strong>of</strong> the oil film<br />
and then to metal-to-metal contact, a major cause <strong>of</strong> severe wear. The<br />
extreme pressure additives coat and react with the surface to reduce or even<br />
prevent the damage that leads to worn surfaces. Carefully selected<br />
performance additives also provide oxidation stability, wear protection, and<br />
salt water rust protection. Shell RETINAX ® Grease TL 00 is naturally tacky<br />
toward metal surfaces.<br />
Performance Features and Benefits<br />
• Semi-fluid<br />
• Synthetic<br />
• Oxidatively stable<br />
• Wear protection<br />
• Salt water rust protection<br />
• Thixotropic to reduce leakage relative<br />
to gear oils<br />
• More readily pumpable at low temperatures in<br />
centralized lubrication systems<br />
• Ability to lubricate and protect wheel bearings<br />
down to -40°C<br />
• Naturally tacky for adherence to metal surfaces<br />
Main Applications<br />
• Premium synthetic semi-fluid grease lubrication<br />
<strong>of</strong> truck wheel hubs*<br />
• Problem solving; e.g., lubrication <strong>of</strong> leaky<br />
gear boxes in applications other than truck<br />
wheel hubs<br />

Shell IRUS ® Fluids DU-NA<br />
Fire resistant hydraulic fluid<br />
Shell IRUS ® Fluids DU-NA 46 and 68 are fully synthetic ester type hydraulic<br />
fluids. They do not contain mineral oil, phosphate esters, chlorinated<br />
hydrocarbons or water. They are designed to be chemically stable when<br />
operating conditions are such that severe physical demands are placed on<br />
the fluid.<br />
Performance Features and Benefits<br />
Shell IRUS ® Fluids DU-NA 46 and 68, because <strong>of</strong><br />
their low specific gravity, will float on water<br />
allowing them to be skimmed from ponds and<br />
collection tanks by standard methods – a feature<br />
that is desirable in the event <strong>of</strong> accidental spills.<br />
Phosphate esters, being heavier than water, do not<br />
<strong>of</strong>fer this feature.<br />
• Demulsibility - rapidly separates water<br />
contamination<br />
• High flash point and autoignition temperatures<br />
• Biodegradable<br />
Shell IRUS ® Fluids DU-NA 46 and 68 do not<br />
produce the obnoxious odor and dense black<br />
smoke associated with phosphate esters when it<br />
strikes a heat source, whether it burns or not.<br />
NOTE: All fire resistant fluids will burn when the<br />
heat source is extreme but will not propagate<br />
the flame.<br />
These fluids are compatible with most seals used in<br />
hydraulic systems; specifically Buna-N, Viton,<br />

anti-wear hydraulic oil is specified<br />
Advice on applications not covered in this<br />
handbook may be obtained from your<br />
Shell representative.<br />
Specifications, Approvals, and<br />
Recommendations<br />
Shell NATURELLE ® <strong>Oil</strong>s HF-E can be used where<br />
DIN 51524 Part 2 or Part 3 (HLP/HVLP)<br />
anti-wear petroleum mineral hydraulic oil is specified.<br />
Bulk fluid operating temperatures should not be<br />
allowed to exceed 90°C and optimum fluid life will<br />
be realized if operating temperatures are<br />
maintained at approximately 55°C.<br />
Compatibility and Miscibility<br />
Compatibility with mineral oils Shell NATURELLE ®<br />
OIls HF-E are miscible with conventional mineral oil<br />
based hydraulic oils in all proportions. However, in<br />
order to ensure that biodegradability properties<br />
are maintained, the system should be drained and<br />
flushed prior to change over.<br />
Due to the surface wetting properties <strong>of</strong> Shell<br />
NATURELLE ® OIls HF-E, if systems were previously<br />
operated using petroleum-based hydraulic oils,<br />
deposits formed in the system during operation<br />
may be loosened and deposited in system filters.<br />
The hydraulic filters should, therefore, initially be<br />
checked at regular intervals.<br />
Seal and Paint Compatibility<br />
Shell NATURELLE ® OIls HF-E are compatible with<br />
all seal materials and paints normally specified for<br />
use with petroleum mineral oils. Certain plastics<br />
and industrial adhesives may be adversely affected<br />
and advice should be sought from the respective<br />
manufacturers.<br />

help customers reduce their energy costs while operating hydraulic systems<br />
especially for those working in stationary conditions. They maintain or even<br />
further improve all the other properties <strong>of</strong> Shell TELLUS ® <strong>Oil</strong>s.<br />
Performance Features and Benefits<br />
• Energy efficiency<br />
The formulation adopted allows to achieve<br />
energy savings, in average up to 5% as<br />
demonstrated in field trials, thanks to the<br />
following three elements: the fluid density, the<br />
friction properties and high viscosity index. The<br />
first two are the drivers for system operating in<br />
stationary condition while the third one play a<br />
key role in case <strong>of</strong> variable conditions.<br />
• Help the environment<br />
Achieving energy efficiency means reducing<br />
CO2 emissions thus contributing to reducing<br />
environmental impact.<br />
• Reduce maintenance costs<br />
Shell TELLUS ® Fluids EE helps minimize<br />
problems such as: Sludge build up, Valve<br />
sticking, Increased wear, Filter blocking,<br />
Corrosion and Contamination.<br />
By using Shell TELLUS ® Fluids EE you can<br />
therefore: guard against equipment damage<br />
(pump, filter, seals, valve, hose) avoiding<br />
premature failure and replacement thus<br />
increasing productivity while reducing<br />
maintenance costs.<br />
• Longer oil drain intervals<br />
The usage <strong>of</strong> synthetic base fluids in the<br />
formulation increases the oil drain interval<br />
achievable provided that excellent maintenance<br />
and design practices are in place to prevent<br />
fluid contamination.<br />
Main Applications<br />
• Industrial hydraulic systems<br />

Shell TELLUS ® <strong>Oil</strong>s S<br />
Zinc-free hydraulic oils for severe duty<br />
Shell TELLUS ® <strong>Oil</strong>s S are ‘top-tier,’ anti-wear hydraulic oils. Based on advanced<br />
‘zinc and chlorine free’ technology, Shell TELLUS ® <strong>Oil</strong>s S are formulated to<br />
ensure exceptional performance in hydraulic fluid power transmission<br />
systems subjected to severe duty.<br />
Performance Features and Benefits<br />
• Outstanding oil life<br />
• Promotes long component life<br />
• Lower ecological impact<br />
Many piston pumps utilize brass components and<br />
in particular brass slippers which fit onto the heads<br />
<strong>of</strong> steel pistons and slide on a steel surface. These<br />
bronze slippers are usually the items <strong>of</strong> wear and<br />
an oil’s performance is normally evaluated by the<br />
weight loss <strong>of</strong> bronze and the loosening <strong>of</strong> the fit<br />
on the pistons, referred to as “slipper fit.” Many<br />
anti-wear hydraulic oils permit either considerable<br />
wear, if the pumps are highly loaded, or in<br />
extreme cases result in pump failure by the slippers<br />
detaching themselves from the pistons.<br />
Shell TELLUS ® <strong>Oil</strong>s S give extremely low wear rates<br />
<strong>of</strong> the brass components in the Denison P-46 pump;<br />
the most severe standard industry test for this<br />
performance aspect.<br />
Main Applications<br />

299 Hydraulic <strong>Oil</strong>
Shell TELLUS ® <strong>Oil</strong>s STX<br />
Ashless zinc free hydraulic oils for severe duty and extended<br />
temperature ranges<br />
Shell TELLUS ® <strong>Oil</strong>s STX are ‘top-tier’ hydraulic oils based on latest ashless antiwear<br />
technology, selected high quality mineral base oils and a shear stable<br />
viscosity index improver to enhance and maintain excellent viscosity/temperature<br />
characteristics. Shell TELLUS ® <strong>Oil</strong>s STX are indicated for severe duty or where<br />
significant variation in oil temperature during service are encountered.<br />
Performance Features and Benefits<br />
• Extended operating temperature range<br />
The use <strong>of</strong> selected viscosity index improver and<br />
Group II base oils reduce the viscosity variation<br />
with temperature allowing the systems to<br />
operate in an extended oil temperature range<br />
with more consistent performances.<br />
• Maintained viscometric characteristics<br />
unchanged with time<br />
The high shear stability <strong>of</strong> the viscosity index<br />
improver used allows retention <strong>of</strong> the original<br />
viscosimetric characteristics preventing the oil<br />
from becoming thinner at high temperature and<br />
therefore preventing the reduction <strong>of</strong> the max<br />
operating temperature and the system efficiency.<br />
• Outstanding anti-wear performance<br />
Latest ashless anti-wear technologies are<br />
incorporated to be effective throughout the<br />
range <strong>of</strong> operating conditions, including low<br />
and severe duty load conditions. Outstanding<br />
performance in a range <strong>of</strong> piston and vane<br />
pump tests have been obtained including the<br />
newest Denison T6H (the so called hybrid<br />
pump), the tough Denison T6C (dry and wet<br />
versions) and the demanding Vickers 35VQ25.<br />
Shell TELLUS ® <strong>Oil</strong>s STX help system components<br />
last longer.<br />
• Hydrolytic stability<br />
Shell TELLUS ® <strong>Oil</strong>s STX have excellent chemical<br />
stability in the presence <strong>of</strong> moisture, which helps<br />
to ensure long oil life and reduce the risk <strong>of</strong><br />
corrosion and rusting.<br />
• Superior filterability<br />
Shell TELLUS ® <strong>Oil</strong>s STX are suitable for ultra-fine<br />
filtration, an essential requirement in today’s<br />
hydraulic systems. They are typically unaffected<br />
by the usual products <strong>of</strong> contamination, such as<br />
water and calcium, which are known to cause<br />
blockage <strong>of</strong> fine filters.<br />
Hydraulic <strong>Oil</strong><br />
300<br />
• Oxidation resistant<br />
Resists oxidation in the presence <strong>of</strong> air, water<br />
and copper. Thanks to the combination <strong>of</strong><br />
additives and base oils used, the Turbine <strong>Oil</strong><br />
Stability Test (TOST) results are outstanding in<br />
terms <strong>of</strong> low acidity, low sludge formation, low<br />
copper loss; therefore helping to extend oil drain<br />
intervals and minimizing maintenance costs.<br />
• Thermal stability<br />
Thermally stable in modern hydraulic systems<br />
working in extreme conditions <strong>of</strong> load and<br />
temperature, Shell TELLUS ® <strong>Oil</strong>s STX are highly<br />
resistant to degradation and sludge formation<br />
therefore improving system reliability and<br />
cleanliness.<br />
• Excellent air release and anti-foam properties<br />
Additives have been carefully selected to ensure<br />
quick air release without excessive foaming.<br />
• Good water separation<br />
Good water separation properties<br />
(demulsibility). Resists the formation <strong>of</strong> water-inoil<br />
emulsions and prevents consequent hydraulic<br />
system and pump damage.<br />
• Reduced environmental impact<br />
The use <strong>of</strong> ashless anti-wear technology and low<br />
sulfur base oils reduces the impact on the<br />
environment due to usage <strong>of</strong> Shell TELLUS ®<br />
<strong>Oil</strong>s STX.<br />
Main Applications<br />
• Hydraulic and fluid power transmission systems<br />
subjected to significant variations in temperature<br />
or where very low viscosity change with<br />
fluctuating temperature is required.<br />
Certain critical hydraulic systems can only tolerate<br />
very small variations in viscosity with fluctuating<br />
temperature if efficiency and responsiveness are to<br />
be maintained. Hydraulic oils, such as Shell<br />
TELLUS ® <strong>Oil</strong>s STX, which exhibit multigrade<br />
viscosity characteristics may be used to particular<br />
advantage in these circumstances.

Shell GARIA ® <strong>Oil</strong>s<br />
High quality active sulfur cutting oils<br />
Shell GARIA ® <strong>Oil</strong>s are light colored, anti-mist, active sulfur cutting oils<br />
designed for use in moderate to severe machining operations. Shell GARIA ®<br />
cutting oils are available in different EP levels and viscosity grades to cover a<br />
wide variety <strong>of</strong> machining operations and metals. Both the “CM Series” and<br />
“M-Series” <strong>of</strong> Shell GARIA ® cutting oils contain unique synergistic extreme<br />
pressure additive systems that readily react at the chip-tool interface to form<br />
extremely effective boundary lubricating films which reduce frictional heat<br />
and prevent metal-to-metal contact <strong>of</strong> the tool and workpiece.<br />
• Shell GARIA ® 422CM-36 and Shell GARIA ®<br />
422M-36, all <strong>of</strong> the product family contain fatty<br />
oil additives which increase the lubricity and<br />
provides better surface finish <strong>of</strong> workpieces. All<br />
<strong>of</strong> these cutting oils possess excellent anti-wear<br />
and anti-weld properties to help maximize<br />
tool life.<br />
• Shell GARIA ® 421CM-12 and Shell GARIA ®<br />
421M-12 are low viscosity cutting oils,<br />
particularly suited for deep hole drilling,<br />
grinding, and other operations where a low<br />
viscosity cutting oil would be preferred. Chips<br />
and grinding swarf readily settle in Shell<br />
GARIA ® 421CM-12 and Shell GARIA ® 421M-<br />
12. Due to their low viscosity, loss <strong>of</strong> oil due to<br />
carry-<strong>of</strong>f with the chips is also minimized with<br />
Shell GARIA ® 421CM-12 and Shell GARIA ®<br />
421M-12.<br />
• Shell GARIA ® 422CM-36 and Shell GARIA ®<br />
421M-36 can be used in a wide variety <strong>of</strong><br />
operations where the machining requirements<br />
range from moderate to severe. Shell GARIA ®<br />
422CM-36 and Shell GARIA ® 421M-36<br />
contain no fatty oil and are, therefore,<br />
particularly useful in operations where surface<br />
finish is not critical. Shell GARIA ® 422CM-36 is<br />
also suitable for use in some <strong>of</strong> the more severe<br />
grinding applications where products<br />
containing fat could lead to loading <strong>of</strong> the<br />
grinding wheel.<br />
• Shell GARIA ® 621CM-36 and Shell GARIA ®<br />
621M-36 are useful in an extremely wide range<br />
<strong>of</strong> applications and are particularly useful in<br />
difficult applications where surface finish is <strong>of</strong><br />
extreme importance. Shell GARIA ® 621CM-36<br />
and Shell GARIA ® 621M-36 are particularly<br />
useful in form grinding applications and in deep<br />
hole drilling operations <strong>of</strong> metals and alloys<br />
with very low machinability ratings.<br />
Metalworking Fluids<br />
348<br />
• Shell GARIA ® 622S-34 can be used to machine<br />
even the most difficult <strong>of</strong> metals. Shell GARIA ®<br />
622S-34 is particularly suited for the machining<br />
<strong>of</strong> titanium and its alloys since it contains no<br />
chlorinated additive that may react with the<br />
metal and weaken the surface.<br />
• Shell GARIA ® 623CS-52 and Shell GARIA ®<br />
623S-54 have the highest levels <strong>of</strong> EP <strong>of</strong> all the<br />
products in this series and can be used where<br />
most other cutting oils fail. Shell GARIA ®<br />
623CS-52 and Shell GARIA ® 623S-54 can<br />
handle the most difficult operations and can<br />
machine the most difficult metals and alloys.<br />

to ensure longer fluid life and better fluid<br />
performance under arduous conditions.<br />
• High viscosity index<br />
Shell DONAX ® TX incorporates latest syntheticblend<br />
base fluid technology, which provides<br />
outstanding high and low temperature<br />
performance. The physical characteristics<br />
provided by the additive technology and semisynthetic<br />
base oils allows for extremely low<br />
temperature fluidity, further protecting the<br />
transmission components from premature wear<br />
under extreme operating conditions.<br />
• Excellent shear stability, corrosion and foaming<br />
resistance<br />

up to 50,000 miles for severe service and<br />
100,000 miles for regular service, and should be<br />
accompanied by an appropriate oil analysis<br />
program.<br />
<strong>Oil</strong> analysis should be conducted every 15,000<br />
miles interval beyond the standard recommended<br />
drain interval.<br />

cycle turbine <strong>Oil</strong><br />
SHELL TURBO ® <strong>Oil</strong>s CC have been developed to meet the severe demands<br />
imposed by modern, heavy duty turbine applications, exceeding OEM<br />
specifications for both gas and steam turbines. A patented, metal free<br />
additive technology, ensures that this product <strong>of</strong>fers substantially improved<br />
performance over conventional turbine oils. Its unique combination <strong>of</strong><br />
excellent oxidative stability, sludge control and surface properties make<br />
SHELL TURBO ® <strong>Oil</strong>s CC an excellent choice for combined cycle turbine<br />
technology, as well as existing gas and steam turbine plants.<br />
Performance Features and Benefits<br />
• Superb oxidation resistance<br />
High temperatures and extended oil drain<br />
intervals demand effective oxidation properties<br />
<strong>of</strong> the oil. SHELL TURBO ® <strong>Oil</strong>s CC oxidative<br />
stability reduces the formation <strong>of</strong> sludge and<br />
other harmful oxidation products. The result is<br />
extended oil life, less maintenance and<br />
less downtime.<br />
• Outstanding thermal resistance<br />
Modern turbines impose high thermal stress on<br />
the oil, increasing the risk <strong>of</strong> failures. SHELL<br />
TURBO ® <strong>Oil</strong>s CC are specially designed to<br />
cope with these conditions. Their outstanding<br />
thermal stability, coupled with resistance to<br />
formation <strong>of</strong> lacquer helps reduce the possibility<br />
<strong>of</strong> unplanned outages.<br />
• Rapid air release and high resistance<br />
to foaming<br />
High oil flows contribute to the possibility <strong>of</strong><br />
entrapped air, which can lead to pump<br />
cavitation, premature oil oxidation and<br />
excessive wear. SHELL TURBO ® <strong>Oil</strong>s CC exhibit<br />
excellent surface properties with minimal foam<br />
formation and rapid air-release, which<br />
minimizes air entrapment, reducing these effects<br />
<strong>of</strong> high oil flows to a minimum.<br />
• Excellent water-shedding properties<br />
Water contamination is commonplace in steam<br />
turbines, causing corrosion and affecting<br />
bearing lubrication. Because <strong>of</strong> SHELL TURBO ®<br />
<strong>Oil</strong>s CC outstanding demulsibility water can be<br />
drained easily from the lubrication system,<br />
protecting the installation against corrosion and<br />
premature wear.<br />
• Good load carrying capacity<br />
Helps reduce excessive gear tooth and turbine<br />
component wear making it suitable for use in<br />
turbines with highly loaded gears. Minimizing<br />
downtime and maintenance costs.<br />

The oils are formulated with a non-silicone antifoam<br />
additive, which generally controls foam<br />
formation. This feature coupled with fast airrelease<br />
from the lubricant reduces the possibility<br />
<strong>of</strong> problems such as pump cavitation, excessive<br />
wear and premature oil oxidation, giving you<br />
increased system reliability.<br />
• Positive water-shedding properties<br />
Robust demulsibility control such that excess<br />
water, common-place in steam turbines, can be<br />
drained easily from the lubrication system,<br />
minimizing corrosion and premature wear.<br />
Lowering the risk <strong>of</strong> unplanned maintenance.<br />
• Excellent rust and corrosion protection<br />
Prevents the formation <strong>of</strong> rust and guards<br />

421 Various Industrial Applications
Operation Guidelines<br />
When used as a heat transfer fluid, care should be<br />
taken to ensure sufficient flow rate to avoid even a<br />
temporary overheating <strong>of</strong> the heat transfer fluid.<br />
Reynolds-Number should be >10,000 (ten<br />
thousand). This is most important during start up and<br />
shut down <strong>of</strong> the heating systems. The surface<br />
temperature <strong>of</strong> the heating elements (film<br />
temperature) should not exceed 320ºC. The physical<br />
parameters <strong>of</strong> the oil necessary for the calculation <strong>of</strong><br />
the heat transfer coefficient in the system, such as<br />
density, specific heat and coefficient <strong>of</strong> thermal<br />
conductivity are indicated in the below.<br />
Food contact<br />
Registered by NSF as 3H, H1, and HT 1, the<br />
product meets the USDA guidelines (1998) for<br />
lubricants for use where direct contact with food<br />
can occur and is also suitable for uses where there<br />
is a potential for incidental food contact.<br />
Made only from substances permitted under the US<br />
FDA Title 21 CFR 172.878, 178.3570,<br />
178.3620.<br />
Although this product is approved for direct contact<br />
applications, Shell recommends that care should be<br />
taken to minimize the amount <strong>of</strong> the material<br />
coming into contact with foodstuffs. JECFA has<br />
recommended that the allowable daily intake for<br />
this type <strong>of</strong> product be limited to no more than 6<br />
mg/kg body weight – which for an average<br />
individual would correspond to an average <strong>of</strong> 120<br />
ppm maximum in foodstuffs. In location and/or<br />
applications where local legislation does not<br />
specify maximum concentration limits, Shell<br />
recommends that this same 120 ppm limit<br />
be observed.<br />
Shell CASSIDA ® Fluid DC will not impart<br />
undesirable taste, odor or color to food, nor will<br />
cause adverse health effects.<br />
Consistent with good manufacturing practice, use<br />
should be minimized and appropriate corrective<br />
action should be taken in the event <strong>of</strong> detection <strong>of</strong><br />
excessive contamination <strong>of</strong> food by Shell<br />

Shell TORCULA ® Fluids DE<br />
High quality synthetic oil mist lubricants<br />
Shell TORCULA ® Fluids DE are fully formulated, high quality synthetic oil mist<br />
lubricants based on diester technology to enhance low temperature<br />
properties and prevent the formation <strong>of</strong> wax and other deposits which may<br />
plug oil mist application fittings when mineral oil based lubricants are used.<br />
Performance Features and Benefits<br />
• Synthetic products based on diester technology<br />
• Excellent surface-wetting characteristics<br />
• Excellent thermal and oxidation stability<br />
• Reduced component wear<br />
• Excellent deposit control<br />
• Minimal plugging tendencies<br />
• Rust and corrosion resistance<br />
Main Applications<br />
Shell TORCULA ® Fluids DE series has been<br />
designed to meet the lubrication requirements <strong>of</strong><br />
many oil mist lubrication systems operating in<br />
adverse conditions, particularly low temperature<br />
applications. Since synthetic fluids do not contain<br />
wax, this eliminates problems due to wax<br />
plugging, which can occur with mineral oils or<br />
mineral oil products.<br />
The Shell TORCULA ® Fluids DE products can be<br />
used in oil mist systems, hydraulic applications,<br />
and general industrial applications where synthetic<br />
products with outstanding low temperature and<br />
oxidation properties are required.<br />
Advice on applications not covered in this<br />
handbook may be obtained from your<br />
Shell representative.<br />
Specifications, Approvals, and<br />
Recommendations<br />
• <strong>Oil</strong> mist lubrication applications under<br />
severe conditions<br />
• Where EP properties are not required in<br />
hydraulic systems and for general industrial<br />
lubrication systems, including gears<br />
Product Maintenance<br />
Shell TORCULA ® Fluids DE lubricants are<br />
compatible with conventional non-detergent<br />
petroleum oils, although mixing could reduce the<br />
performance <strong>of</strong> the synthetic lubricant. After<br />
converting from mineral oil based lubricants, it is<br />
suggested that the oil mist lubrication system be<br />
watched closely. Diesters have excellent solvency<br />
and will aggressively “clean-up” system deposits<br />
that might have formed while mineral oil based<br />
lubricants were in use. Therefore oil filters need to<br />
be monitored frequently in the early stages after<br />
conversion to these type products.<br />
Please note: Shell TORCULA ® Fluids DE lubricants<br />
may or may not be compatible with seals, paints,<br />
plastics, etc. found in systems designed for<br />
petroleum oils. When there is any doubt regarding<br />
the compatibility <strong>of</strong> system components with these<br />
diester-based lubricants, the equipment<br />
manufacturer should be consulted.<br />

4. Bearings that stop and start frequently under heavy load and heavily loaded bearings with surface speeds below 6m/min may require oil<br />
with additives to improve boundary lubrication, e.g. Shell OMALA ® 680.<br />
Enclosed Gears: It is important not to overfill a gearbox, as this can lead to foaming <strong>of</strong> the oil and consequent waste; overheating <strong>of</strong> the oil<br />
can also result, which may lead to sludge formation and undesirable thickening <strong>of</strong> the oil. The correct oil level is usually indicated on the<br />
gearbox by the makers but, if not, when stationary the dipping gear should be immersed in oil to a depth <strong>of</strong> three times the tooth height.<br />
Gearbox should not be topped up when the machine is running, as it is then impossible to judge the correct oil level.<br />
Open Gears: Tacky or adhesive products are <strong>of</strong>ten employed as open gear lubricants. These compounds/fluids can be applied manually by<br />
hand (paddle or brush) or sprayed onto the gears via an automatic system. The advantage <strong>of</strong> grease for open gears is that it is more<br />
effectively retained on the gear teeth than oil. Because <strong>of</strong> the adhesive nature <strong>of</strong> these compounds, dust, grit, etc, tend to collect on the coated<br />
surface <strong>of</strong> the gear teeth. The old lubricant should therefore be cleaned <strong>of</strong>f periodically to prevent abrasive wear.<br />
Grease Lubricated Ball and Roller Bearings: Periodically these bearings should be cleaned out and repacked with fresh grease and the<br />
housing should be left not more than one –half full <strong>of</strong> grease otherwise overheating may occur.<br />
It is quite usual for the temperature <strong>of</strong> a newly packed ball or roller bearing to increase rapidly when it is first started up. This is a temporary<br />
effect, however, when excess grease has been flung out <strong>of</strong> the working spaces and the grease in the housing has settled down, the<br />
temperature will fall to a normal figure. If the temperature does not fall after an hour or so, the machine should be stopped and the bearing<br />
allowed to cool. If on restarting, the temperature again rises unduly, this may be the result <strong>of</strong> over-packing in which case some <strong>of</strong> the excess<br />
grease should be removed from the housing.<br />
<strong>Oil</strong> Lubricated Ball and Roller bearings: In filling these bearings the oil level should not be higher than the top <strong>of</strong> the lowest rolling element.<br />
The frequency <strong>of</strong> oil renewed will depend on operating conditions and the equipment manufacturer’s recommendations should be followed<br />
in each case.<br />

Lubricants Storage, Handling & HSE Guidelines<br />
The quality <strong>of</strong> Shell Lubricants leaving the refinery or blending plant is closely monitored and controlled.<br />
Stringent care is taken in manufacture, in packing and in transportation to ensure that the products are free<br />
from contaminants, and fully meet or exceed their stated specifications.<br />
However, once the lubricants leave the care <strong>of</strong> Shell or its agents, their continuing fitness for use may depend<br />
on the quality <strong>of</strong> subsequent storage or handling procedures.<br />
This section <strong>of</strong> the Shell Product Information Handbook provides storage and handling guidelines for<br />
maintaining Shell Lubricants in the good, clean condition essential for effective service.<br />
Siting the Lubricants Store<br />
Ideally lubricants should be stored under cover at a reasonably constant, moderate temperature. In practice,<br />
this may not be possible and the lubricants store may have to be at least partly outdoors.<br />
However, whether it is outdoors or under cover, the store should be sited so as to provide:<br />
• Good access for delivery vehicles.<br />
• Plenty <strong>of</strong> vehicles unloading room.<br />
• Properly equipped unloading dock with direct access to the oil store.<br />
• Clean dust-free conditions for unsealing and dispensing.<br />
• Easy distribution to the principal points <strong>of</strong> use.<br />
• Simple inventory control, and at-a-glance check on the<br />
condition <strong>of</strong> containers and packs.<br />
• Space for empty drums, packages and returnable<br />
containers.<br />
• An even, level, oil resistant floor.<br />
• A lockable store.<br />
• Appropriate ventilation.<br />
• Designated and controlled separate areas for in use<br />
and new stock.<br />
• A robust stock control system to ensure good stock<br />
rotation.<br />
• Temperature control.<br />
• No store is connected to any drain, sewer or<br />
watercourse.<br />
• Clear warning signs (‘No Smoking’ and ‘Risk <strong>of</strong> Slippery Surface’) signage.<br />
• Appropriate bunds are used for additional protection.<br />
Emergency spill kits should be placed beside all stores.<br />
Outdoor Storage<br />
If protected from extremes <strong>of</strong> temperature and from ingress <strong>of</strong> water, most lubricants are unaffected by climatic<br />
conditions and may be stored outdoors for limited periods.<br />
However, if temperatures below 0°C are anticipated, protection should be given to lubricants which are<br />
sensitive to the effects <strong>of</strong> frost (e.g. oil/water emulsions or water extendable fluids).<br />
The following products should never be stored in the open:<br />
• Insulating oils.<br />
• Refrigerator oils.<br />
• White and medicinal oils.<br />
• AeroShell oils and compounds.<br />
• Greases.<br />
• Neat cutting oils containing fatty oils or compounds, which can solidify and separate when very cold.<br />
It is also preferable for packaged lubricants to be opened under cover and be subsequently stored under<br />
cover. The risk <strong>of</strong> contamination is greatly increased when lubricants are decanted or dispensed outdoors.<br />
Condensation or water ingress is more likely when a drum is only part full.<br />
447
<strong>Oil</strong> drums standing in the open suffer variations in temperature, and corresponding variations in internal<br />
pressure. This leads to ‘breathing’ where there is a leaking seal, with moisture liable to be drawn in –<br />
particularly if the drum is standing bung-up, for the top <strong>of</strong> the drum forms a rain trap.<br />
Water on top <strong>of</strong> the drum can also cause rusting and the obliteration <strong>of</strong> markings, which could result in the<br />
wrong oil being used.<br />
For these reasons drums should be stored tilted, on their side, or bungs-down (taps below oil level). The bungs<br />
<strong>of</strong> tilted or horizontal drums should be at the 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock positions, to help ensure the gaskets are<br />
kept in contact with the oil in the drum. In every case, drums should be stored <strong>of</strong>f the ground on stillages or in<br />
racks, well clear <strong>of</strong> surface water. They must never<br />
stand directly on a surface containing corrosive<br />
clinker. Packs holding more than 200l must be stored<br />
in a bund.<br />
Regular examination should be made for signs <strong>of</strong><br />
corrosion, for obscuring <strong>of</strong> identification marks, and<br />
for evidence <strong>of</strong> weakening seams or seals.<br />
Special care should also be taken with the storage<br />
<strong>of</strong> smaller packages such as pails. These are not<br />
designed to withstand severe weather. If outdoor<br />
storage is unavoidable, they should be placed<br />
under cover on stillages, or protected from rain by<br />
tarpaulins while ensuring the free circulation <strong>of</strong> air.<br />
Indoor Storage<br />
Indoor Storage is always preferable. However, if space is limited, it should be reserved for small packages,<br />
for lubricants which can be affected by frost, for opened packages, and for the special categories listed<br />
earlier under Outdoor Storage.<br />
Rarely will indoor temperatures fall so low as to affect a lubricant adversely. However, excessive local heat<br />
from steam pipes, furnaces, etc. should be avoided to prevent thermal degradation or volatilization <strong>of</strong> solvent<br />
containing grades.<br />
(Note: In many cases, insurance requirements or local fire regulations necessitate separate storage facilities<br />
for volatile products.)<br />
If one part <strong>of</strong> the store is warm, it should be reserved for high viscosity (thick) oils to make dispensing easier.<br />
The lubricants store should be kept dry at all times, to prevent the corrosion <strong>of</strong> containers, which would occur<br />
in damp conditions.<br />
Deliveries<br />
A responsible person to ensure that the correct quantity and grade <strong>of</strong> lubricant is <strong>of</strong>f-loaded or discharged<br />
should supervise all deliveries. With bulk lubricants, it is essential that the correct grade is stored in the right<br />
tank, so supervision and tankage labeling are essential.<br />
Delivery tickets should be signed by customers to verify that the correct grade and quantity have been<br />
received.<br />
Stacking Drums<br />
If space is insufficient to allow drums to be stored on horizontal stillages, they may be vertically stacked on<br />
pallets or stored in horizontal or sloping racks.<br />
Whichever method is adopted it should allow individual<br />
packages to be readily accessible with the minimum <strong>of</strong><br />
disturbance to those not immediately required. A system <strong>of</strong><br />
stock rotation must be devised to avoid the accumulation <strong>of</strong><br />
old stock. ‘First-in, first-out’ is a good principle to establish.<br />
When other packages are freely stacked on top <strong>of</strong> one<br />
another, the safe height varies according to the stability <strong>of</strong><br />
the stack and the weight which the lower packages can<br />
support. The use <strong>of</strong> pallets or slatted frames stabilizes the<br />
stack and helps prevent damage to the lower layers.<br />
Steel racks <strong>of</strong>fer greater convenience for loading, retrieval,<br />
inventory control and stock rotation. The sloping rack with<br />
one side for loading and the other (lower) side for retrieval<br />
is an effective means <strong>of</strong> ensuring ‘first-in, first-out’ drum stock<br />
movement.<br />
448
Handling Drums<br />
The standard 55 Gallon drum weighs approximately 400 lbs. when filled with oil. It is strong, being designed<br />
to be re-used several times, but is readily damaged by bad handling.<br />
Drums must never be dropped when being unloaded or moved. The impact can burst the seams, causing<br />
subsequent leaking or contamination <strong>of</strong> the contents.<br />
Incorrect manual handling <strong>of</strong> drums can result in accidents and personal injury. Wherever possible, avoid<br />
manual handling and use appropriate drum handling equipment. There are many suitable methods <strong>of</strong><br />
handling drums, but the most widely accepted are:<br />
• Forklift truck (either horizontally on the standard fork, or vertically with a single or four-drum handling<br />
attachment).<br />
• Two-wheel hand truck<br />
• Triangular drum dolly<br />
• Manual elevator<br />
• Manual side-delivery stacker<br />
• Chain hoist and trolley on ‘I-Beam’ Bridge<br />
• Rolling (by two workers)<br />
Bulk Storage<br />
Bulk lubricants storage tanks should be inside the bund, ideally sited indoors, but they can be in the open if<br />
protected from driving rain and snow and from extremes <strong>of</strong> temperature.<br />
All tanks, fill pipes and <strong>of</strong>ftake pipes must be labeled with the capacity and full grade name <strong>of</strong> the product<br />
they contain, to avoid crossovers when delivering or dispensing. Pipework must be rust free and situated<br />
above ground where possible. Measuring devices must be properly calibrated and serviced and hand wheels<br />
on valves and cocks should be lockable to prevent tampering.<br />
Mild steel tanks require special adaptation for certain types <strong>of</strong> products. Tanks for electrical and refrigerator<br />
oils are generally lined with epoxy resin and their air vents protected with silica-gel breathers to remove<br />
moisture.<br />
White oils may require epoxy resin treated or stainless steel tankage to maintain quality and good color.<br />
Tanks without silica-gel breathers can slowly accumulate water as atmospheric moisture condenses on<br />
relatively cold tank walls, even when sited indoors. Water should be periodically drained from a stop-cock<br />
positioned so that it is at the lowest point on the tank. Normally tanks are erected such that a 1-in-10 slope<br />
towards the drain cock reduces the risk <strong>of</strong> contaminated oil being dispensed. With some grades, excessive<br />
water ingress can result in full or partial emulsification <strong>of</strong> the product.<br />
Storage <strong>of</strong> Grease<br />
Drums containing s<strong>of</strong>t grease should be stood upright. The standard 180kg grease drum has a large opening,<br />
the seal <strong>of</strong> which is readily damaged by careless handling. This may lead to the leaking <strong>of</strong> s<strong>of</strong>t grease from a<br />
horizontally stored barrel.<br />
Once opened, all grease containers should be stored<br />
with lids in place to avoid contamination that may lead to<br />
operational difficulties.<br />
Good Storekeeping<br />
New packages should be wiped clean and around the<br />
bungs, the labeling checked, and any marked variation<br />
from the product’s normal color, smell or consistency<br />
reported. If there is any reason to doubt the good condition<br />
<strong>of</strong> a lubricant, the tank or packages concerned should<br />
be quarantined to isolate the problem and your Shell<br />
Representative consulted for advice.<br />
Lubricants must only be dispensed from clean, dedicated<br />
containers. Never be tempted to use ad-hoc oil measures.<br />
Covered receptacles should be provided for clean lint-free wipes and for dirty wipes.<br />
A drip tray should be positioned beneath each drum tap. Spilt oil can cause accidents and should be cleaned<br />
up without delay. Sawdust is effective but represents a fire hazard and should be removed as soon as it<br />
becomes oily. Crystalline material are available as a substitute for sawdust, but can leave gritty debris on the<br />
floor which, while useful anti-slip, may provide a source <strong>of</strong> contamination.<br />
449
Measuring cans with easy pour spouts allow the issue <strong>of</strong> oil to be recorded. Records should be accurate and<br />
complete, with the full type and grade <strong>of</strong> each lubricant noted. Abnormalities in the amounts <strong>of</strong> a particular<br />
lubricant issued should be investigated.<br />
Grease guns should be filled cleanly and carefully for grease acts as an abrasive when mixed with dust<br />
or dirt.<br />
When empty, lubricant containers should have their bungs<br />
or lids securely replaced to prevent contamination.<br />
Never re-use empty lubricants packages. Cases have been<br />
known <strong>of</strong> waste oil, other lubricants chemicals, fuels and<br />
even water being stored in empty lubricants packages and<br />
being inadvertently used in place <strong>of</strong> the service lubricant.<br />
Results can be dangerous, and sometimes catastrophic.<br />
Empty drums should not be used for road barriers or<br />
for supporting scaffold poles or trestles. Its is especially<br />
important not to use barrels for brazing or welding trestles,<br />
or to cut them up with oxy-acetylene equipment, because <strong>of</strong><br />
the risk <strong>of</strong> explosion.<br />
Sampling<br />
Samples <strong>of</strong> lubricants are sometimes required for analysis. After the drum has been rolled to agitate the<br />
contents, a metal or glass sampling tube, or ‘thief’, is used to withdraw a sample. To obtain meaningful<br />
data, samples must be fully representative and free from external contamination. It is also important to ensure<br />
accurate and correct labeling. It is essential that both the ‘thief’ and the container into which the lubricant<br />
sample is poured are absolutely clean, dry and odor-free.<br />
Wherever possible, use only properly designed bottles and labels available from your Shell Representative.<br />
Contamination in Use<br />
Lubricants and cutting oils must periodically be drained from the machine and replaced by fresh oils or<br />
coolant.<br />
Some used oils, particularly in less arduous applications, can be reclaimed for future use by settling,<br />
centrifuging, water washing or filtration. Your Shell Representative will advise on the appropriate treatment.<br />
Cutting oils are especially liable to contamination in use. For example, oil films on the surface <strong>of</strong> an emulsion<br />
may indicate a leaking gearbox or hydraulic system.<br />
When soluble oil is prepared for use, the oil must be added to the water in the recommended amount, with<br />
consistent stirring to form a stable emulsion. Water must never be added to the oil, as unstable or invert<br />
emulsion may result. The water must be clean, and mixing should take place in a clean separate tank rather<br />
than in the machine sump.<br />
It should be noted that a new emulsion rapidly deteriorates if added to one already contaminated bacteriainfected<br />
or unstable. Unpleasant odors or rusting are indicators <strong>of</strong> bacteriological or chemical degradation.<br />
Clean coolant must be used in a clean sump and circulation system for efficient operation.<br />
Handling Lubricants<br />
The benefits <strong>of</strong> good, clean storage can be largely nullified if a lubricant becomes contaminated in transit<br />
from the store to the machines. The containers used for transporting lubricants on a site and for the storage <strong>of</strong><br />
small working quantities must be kept clean and should be provided with lids to prevent the entry <strong>of</strong> dust and<br />
dirt. They should be washed periodically with gasoline, care being taken to mop and dry them before using<br />
them again.<br />
Similarly, funnels and other pieces <strong>of</strong> apparatus must always be kept scrupulously clean, rags and wipers<br />
being used for this purpose. Cotton waste or woollen rags should not be used as they tend to leave behind<br />
fibres that will eventually find their way into machinery and impair the flow <strong>of</strong> oil<br />
It is advisable to have separate, clearly marked containers <strong>of</strong> each grade <strong>of</strong> oil or grease so the<br />
contamination <strong>of</strong> one with another does not take place.<br />
Used and dirty oil should be put into special containers and stored in separate, clearly labeled receptacles<br />
unit disposed <strong>of</strong>. Every precaution must be taken to see that used lubricants are not allowed to contaminate<br />
fresh oils and greases.<br />
In general, cleanliness precautions are even more important with grease than with oil. There is always the<br />
chance that impurities in oil may sink to the bottom <strong>of</strong> the tank or container out <strong>of</strong> harm’s way; with grease<br />
450
this cannot happen and any grit or other contaminant that gets into the grease is bound to find its way into<br />
lubricators and machinery sooner or later.<br />
Grease is more susceptible than oil to the effects <strong>of</strong> temperature and temperature cyclings. High temperature<br />
<strong>of</strong> prolonged exposure to even moderately high temperatures (e.g., tropical sunshine) may cause oil to<br />
separate out with the result that the grease loses some <strong>of</strong> its lubricating properties. Petrolatum (petroleum<br />
jelly) and certain types <strong>of</strong> grease can be made liquid by heating and, on cooling, will regain their former<br />
condition, but these are exceptions and most greases will be ruined if treated in this way. Never, therefore,<br />
heat a grease to make it fluid.<br />
Poor handling <strong>of</strong> a lubricant can lead to:<br />
• Workplace accidents.<br />
• Pollution incidents.<br />
• Increased risk <strong>of</strong> fire.<br />
• Contamination problems.<br />
• Use <strong>of</strong> wrong product.<br />
• Use <strong>of</strong> wrong grade.<br />
• Product deterioration.<br />
• Stock depletion.<br />
• Increased equipment downtime.<br />
• Possible prosecution.<br />
If there is a spill<br />
CONTAIN the spillage immediately using any non-flammable absorbent. Sand or earth can be used in an<br />
emergency.<br />
DO NOT WASH into drains or watercourses. If lubricants do enter drains or watercourses, advise your Water<br />
Authority immediately.<br />
COLLECT the absorbent-oil mixture into a suitable receptacle and dispose via a licensed waste contractor.<br />
Fire Precautions<br />
Packaged lubrication oil and grease does not represent a serious fire hazard. However, most lubricants have<br />
the potential for combustion and explosion in certain circumstances. The hazard is mainly related to the flash<br />
point <strong>of</strong> the product.<br />
Lubricants with a flash point less than 55°C should be stored in closed containers away from heat in a wellventilated<br />
place. When the product is used in an open tank, the latter should be well hooded, well ventilated,<br />
and earthed to prevent static sparks. When not in use, the tank should be lightly covered.<br />
Products with a flash point <strong>of</strong> 55°C or greater, generally require no special fire precaution, but should be<br />
stored away from heat whenever possible.<br />
Lubrication oil is potentially dangerous in conjunction with more flammable materials. <strong>Oil</strong>-soaked sawdust,<br />
rags or cleaning paper must not be allowed to accumulate. If soaked with fatty oils they can ignite simply by,<br />
for example, coming into contact with a high temperature steam pipe.<br />
<strong>Oil</strong> stores must be equipped with CO2, dry chemical or foam type extinguishers, and with sand filled fire<br />
buckets. Water should not be used for suppressing fires, as the burning lubricant may float on the surface and<br />
spread the fire. Staff should be well trained on selection<br />
and use <strong>of</strong> the correct types <strong>of</strong> extinguishers.<br />
Lubricants stores should be designated ‘No Smoking’<br />
areas.<br />
If there is a fire – call the fire brigade.<br />
Waste <strong>Oil</strong> Disposal<br />
Waste oils are subjected to re-use or destruction largely<br />
according to environmental and economic factors and<br />
operational needs.<br />
Waste <strong>Oil</strong> dumped as a liquid in soil or water or burned<br />
in an uncontrolled manner as a fuel is a source <strong>of</strong> chronic<br />
environmental pollution.<br />
451
New controls on waste have been introduced under the Environmental Protection Act 1990. If you produce<br />
controlled waste (this would include waste oil products) at your site then you are under a ‘duty <strong>of</strong> care’ and<br />
responsible for:<br />
• Storing it safely and securely so waste does not escape.<br />
• Checking that any party you hand the waste on to is legally authorized to transport and dispose <strong>of</strong> it.<br />
• Keeping complete records <strong>of</strong> all consignments <strong>of</strong> waste. Filling out a description <strong>of</strong> the waste and signing<br />
a transfer note when you hand in on to another party for disposal. These records should be kept for two<br />
years.<br />
• Disposal <strong>of</strong> waste in a safe way that does not cause pollution or endanger life.<br />
There are a number <strong>of</strong> ways that oil life can be optimized. This ensures that the maximum value is obtained<br />
from the oil before its disposal. They include:<br />
• The use <strong>of</strong> high quality, long life products.<br />
• The use <strong>of</strong> Shell LubeAnalyst to monitor oil and equipment selection.<br />
• Re-use follow re-fining laundering (e.g. by filtering or centrifuging) or downgrading.<br />
• In certain cases as a fuel oil<br />
When waste oil is too heavily contaminated to allow re-use, the only courses are incineration after suitable<br />
pre-treatment, or disposal by controlled dumping on an approved site in accordance with environmental<br />
legislation.<br />
Used cutting oils, both neat and soluble, are <strong>of</strong>ten affected by additional disposal factors, and special<br />
procedures should be followed after consultation with your Shell Representative.<br />
Used oils must always be disposed <strong>of</strong>f carefully and thoughtfully through recognized channels so as to protect<br />
the environment. Waste oil should not be disposed <strong>of</strong> by:<br />
• Land farming.<br />
• Landfill.<br />
• Road oiling.<br />
• Use as a bitumen extender.<br />
• Recycling processes that can produce hazardous waste products. e.g. acid clay treatment.<br />
• Use as a fuel for diesel engines.<br />
• Burnt in an uncontrolled environment or unlicensed equipment.<br />
If you are handling or disposing <strong>of</strong> oil products please refer to the appropriate Shell Product Safety Data<br />
Sheet. This can be obtained from your own internal Health & Safety focal point. In the event <strong>of</strong> any queries<br />
please contact your local Shell Representative.<br />
Health & Safety<br />
Shell lubricants present little or no health hazard provided they are used correctly in the recommended<br />
applications, and reasonable care is taken to keep them <strong>of</strong>f the skin and away from the eyes, and to avoid<br />
ingestion or inhalation <strong>of</strong> vapors or mists. Specific health and safety instructions for each Shell grade are<br />
given on a covering Product Safety Data Sheet, available from your Shell Representative.<br />
Frequent and prolonged contact with mineral oils can give rise to skin ailments, and operatives are advised to<br />
follow the basic general Health & Safety precautions listed below.<br />
• Wear working overalls, impermeable aprons and gloves, etc. to eliminate unnecessary contact with oil.<br />
• Wear protective gloves and safety shoes or boots when handling drums and packages.<br />
• Avoid using dirty rags to wipe skin.<br />
• Seek first-aid treatment immediately for any injury, however slight, and report any skin complaint without<br />
delay.<br />
• Know where to obtain first-aid advice and medical attention.<br />
• Wash regularly and use non-hazardous cleansers, barrier and conditioning creams.<br />
• Change and dry-clean work clothes regularly.<br />
• Never keep oily wipes in overall pockets.<br />
• Use, if possible, separate lockers for outdoor and working clothes.<br />
• Ensure the arrangements for the extraction <strong>of</strong> fine mists and sprays are in proper working order, and used<br />
correctly.<br />
452
• Ensure that metal particles and swarf are removed from machines with suitable implements rather than by<br />
hand.<br />
• Ensure machine splash guards and machine protection devices are properly adjusted at all times.<br />
• Ensure that the hazardous substance marking packages which identify toxic, harmful or inflammable<br />
products are understood and obeyed when storing, transporting or using the product.<br />
• Be fully familiar with emergency measures.<br />
• Clear up spillage immediately using appropriate means.<br />
• Observe all safety, hygiene and ‘good housekeeping’ rules at all times.<br />
Personal Hygiene<br />
Shell lubricants are quite safe to use provided ordinary care is taken to minimize skin contamination and to<br />
avoid breathing oil mist or vapors.<br />
However, prolonged improper use can cause dermatitis or other skin conditions or even, where heavy<br />
contamination occurs over many years, skin cancer.<br />
Those at risk are people who use oils every day over periods <strong>of</strong> months or years, not those who work with oils<br />
only very occasionally. The risks can be avoided by carrying out the following simple health precautions.<br />
Special <strong>Oil</strong>s and Compounds<br />
The types <strong>of</strong> oil that have been associated overseas with skin disorders appear to be those which have<br />
been lightly refined and which contain relatively more polynuclear aromatic compounds. <strong>Oil</strong>s <strong>of</strong> this type<br />
are used in rubber processing. Particular care should be taken in these cases.<br />
When working regularly with mineral oils follow these simple rules:<br />
1. REDUCE skin contamination by mineral oils to the minimum and avoid breathing their mists or<br />
vapors.<br />
2. PROTECT the skin by using suitable clothing and barrier creams.<br />
3. CLEAN the skin thoroughly if contaminated with oil.<br />
4. CARE for the skin properly.<br />
5. WEAR clean intact clothes.<br />
Avoiding Contact with Mineral <strong>Oil</strong>s<br />
Contact with mineral oils should be kept to a minimum by using effective splash guards and correct work<br />
methods. Good maintenance should be practiced as to as to avoid oil-soaked floors or benches.<br />
Where cutting oils are used, these should be changed at regular intervals to minimize contamination with<br />
abrasive metal particles or bacteria. To keep circulation oil as free as possible <strong>of</strong> abrasive particles, filter<br />
and sumps should be regularly inspected and cleaned out.<br />
Minimize mist and vapor generation. If this cannot be done, use proper ventilation to keep the breathing<br />
zone concentration <strong>of</strong> oil mist below the recommended maximum concentration in air <strong>of</strong> 5mg per cubic<br />
meter <strong>of</strong> air.<br />
Personal Protection<br />
To minimize skin contamination by oils, wear protective gloves and aprons and suitable outer overalls.<br />
Where soluble oil concentrates are used, wear goggles or face visors.<br />
Protective clothing should be cleaned at regular intervals to remove oils. It is most important to avoid<br />
wearing oil-soaked clothing, and hands should be cleaned with disposable wipes that should not be kept in<br />
overall or trouser pockets after use.<br />
Gloves can become contaminated on the inside and when worn again they bring the skin into close and<br />
repeated contact with oil. A system <strong>of</strong> regular and frequent changing and cleaning <strong>of</strong> all protective clothing<br />
is the best safeguard.<br />
Where contamination with mineral oils occurs regularly at work, for example when using soluble cutting<br />
oils with high-speed machinery, it is necessary to give more rigorous attention to adequate laundering and<br />
regular changes <strong>of</strong> clothing and underclothing. To avoid soiling <strong>of</strong> clean clothing, contaminated clothing<br />
should be stored separately from street clothing.<br />
Cleansing the Skin<br />
<strong>Oil</strong> should not be left on the skin for any prolonged period <strong>of</strong> time, particularly if mineral oils are used every<br />
day at work. Skin contaminated with oil should be cleaned with mild soap or suitable hand cleansers at<br />
regular intervals, and particularly at the end <strong>of</strong> a working day.<br />
Strong soaps and detergents, and abrasive skin cleansers should be avoided as these can cause skin<br />
irritation.<br />
453
Solvents such as petrol, kerosene, trichloroethane and similar fluids should not be used for cleaning oil<br />
<strong>of</strong>f the skin.<br />
Barrier and Restorative Creams<br />
The regular washing needed in industry <strong>of</strong>ten removes the natural oils in the skin, which form a protective<br />
barrier. The natural protective barrier can be replaced to a certain extent by using a good barrier cream<br />
before work and a good hydrophilic skin cream containing lanoline or vegetable oils after finally washing<br />
the hands at the end <strong>of</strong> the work period.<br />
Care <strong>of</strong> the Skin<br />
Where any sign <strong>of</strong> irritation or rash appears on the skin, medical attention should be sought at the earliest<br />
opportunity.<br />

Summary <strong>of</strong> Some Commonly Used DIN Specifications<br />
DIN 51501<br />
This standard describes straight mineral oils intended for total loss lubrication systems and other non-critical<br />
applications. The range covers 11 oils with viscosities from 5 to 680 cSt at 40ºC. The oils meeting this<br />
standard are classified L-AN.<br />
DIN 51503<br />
DIN 51503 sets out requirements for refrigerator oils in refrigerator compressors that use ammonia or<br />
halogenated hydrocarbons e.g. R12, R22 and R14 as the refrigerant. <strong>Oil</strong>s referred to in this standard are used<br />
for cooling and lubricating refrigerator compressors and are exposed to liquid and gaseous refrigerants. The<br />
oils are classified into 2 groups depending on the refrigerants. KA oils are used for compressors with ammonia<br />
and are oils with viscosities from 15 to 68 cSt at 40ºC. For compressors using halogenated hydrocarbon<br />
refrigerant oils are classified KC and have a viscosity range from 22 to 100 cSt at 40ºC.<br />
DIN 51506<br />
This standard covers a range <strong>of</strong> 5 classes <strong>of</strong> straight mineral and oxidation inhibited additive type oils for<br />
use in reciprocating air compressors operating at different air discharge temperatures. The oils are classified<br />
VC and VB-L (maximum compression temperatures up to 140ºC). VC and VC-L (maximum compression
temperatures up to 220ºC or 160ºC in systems including a reservoir) and VD-L (maximum compression<br />
temperature up to 220ºC).<br />
DIN 51515 Part 1<br />
Lubricating oils for which this standard sets minimum requirements are used in steam turbines, gas turbines,<br />
electrical machines and in steam turbine driven machines such as generators, compressors and pumps. <strong>Oil</strong>s<br />
in this standard are classified TD and range in viscosity from 32 to 100 cSt at 40ºC.<br />
DIN 51517 Part 1<br />
This standard sets minimum requirements for lubricating oils which are oxidation stable mineral oils without<br />
additives, utilized as machine and bearing oils and as gear lubricants. These oils are given the designation C<br />
and the viscosity range is from 7 to 680 cSt at 40ºC.<br />
DIN 51517 Part 2<br />
DIN 51517 Part 2 sets minimum requirements for lubricating oils utilized as machine and bearing oils and as<br />
gear lubricants, which contain additives for improving corrosion protection and resistance to oxidation. These<br />
oils are given the classification CL and the viscosities encompassed by this standard range from 5 to 460 cSt<br />
at 40ºC.<br />
DIN 51517 Part 3<br />
The DIN 51517 Part 3 type CLP classification covers a range <strong>of</strong> 8 high performance extreme-pressure (EP)<br />
gear oils having an FZG performance level <strong>of</strong> 12 stages passed in the DIN 52354 Part 2 method. The<br />
viscosities encompassed by this standard range from 46 to 680 cSt at 40ºC.<br />
DIN 51522<br />
This standard lays down requirements and testing procedures for unused mineral oils and related<br />
hydrocarbon based heat transfer oils used as heat transfer media. These oils are given the designation Q.<br />
DIN 51524 Part 1<br />
DIN 51524 Part 1 is a standard that lays down minimum requirements for hydraulic oils that are able to<br />
withstand high thermal stress and contain ingredients that improve corrosion protection and resistance to<br />
oxidation. <strong>Oil</strong>s described by this standard have a viscosity range from 10 to 100 cSt at 40ºC and are given<br />
the designation HL.<br />
DIN 51524 Part 2<br />
Minimum requirements are laid down in this standard for hydraulic oils that meet all the requirements <strong>of</strong> DIN<br />
51524 Part 1 and in addition contain additives to meet a high level <strong>of</strong> anti-wear performance in specified<br />
tests. These oils are given the designation HLP and have a viscosity range from 10 to 100 cSt at 40ºC.<br />
DIN 51524 Part 3<br />
Minimum requirements are laid down in this standard for hydraulic oils that meet all the requirements <strong>of</strong> DIN<br />
51524 Part 2, and in addition has improved temperature-viscosity properties (VI>140) and lower pour point.<br />
These oils are given the designation HVLP and have a viscosity range from 15 to 100mm_/s at 40ºC.<br />
DIN 51593<br />
This standard describes a test method for determining the stability <strong>of</strong> refrigerator oils in the presence <strong>of</strong><br />
refrigerants. Refrigerants such as halogenated hydrocarbons and sulfur dioxide may react with oil and<br />
this can lead to the formation <strong>of</strong> acid reaction products. Using this standard to determine the refrigerant<br />
resistance sets criteria for judging the chemical behavior <strong>of</strong> oils in refrigerators. The refrigerant resistance<br />
<strong>of</strong> an oil is measured as the time elapsing under the test conditions before the formation <strong>of</strong> the first reaction<br />
products. This test is also known as the Philips Test.<br />
DIN 51354 Part 2<br />
This method is intended to assess the relative load carrying abilities <strong>of</strong> oils used to lubricate gear sets with<br />
steel-on-steel contact. The FZG gear test rig is used, in which special gear wheels are lubricated by the<br />
oil under test at a constant speed for a predetermined period in a dip lubrication system. The initial oil<br />
temperature is controlled and the loading <strong>of</strong> the gear teeth increased in stages. During the running time <strong>of</strong><br />
each load stage, the gear teeth flanks are inspected for damage and compared against standard ratings.<br />

The symbol <strong>of</strong> a prefix is considered to be combined with the unit symbol to which it is directly attached,<br />
forming with it a symbol for a new unit which can be provided with a positive or negative exponent and<br />
which can be combined with other unit symbols for compound units.<br />
The above recommendation is not being interpreted very rigidly and material stresses are <strong>of</strong>ten expressed in<br />
newtons per millimeter squared N/mm2 which is the same as 1megapascal (MPa). Similarly the ‘bar’, which<br />
is equal to 105 Pa or approximately 1 atmosphere, is used for expressing fluid pressures in processes or<br />
utilities.<br />
Furthermore, it is recommended that only one prefix is used and that this prefix is attached to the numerator <strong>of</strong><br />
the derived unit. Thus for pressure and stress 106 newtons per square meter 106 pascals =1 megapascal or<br />
1MPa.<br />

VISCOSITY CLASSIFICATIONS<br />
INDUSTRIAL LUBRICANT CLASSIFICATIONS<br />
ISO (International Standards Organization) viscosity classification<br />
The ISO viscosity classification uses mm2 /s (cSt) units and relates to viscosity at 40oC. It consists <strong>of</strong> a series<br />
<strong>of</strong> 18 viscosity brackets between 1.98 cSt and 1650 mm2 /s (cSt), each <strong>of</strong> which is defined by a number. The<br />
numbers indicate to the nearest whole number, the mid points <strong>of</strong> their corresponding brackets. For example,<br />
ISO viscosity grade 32 relates to the viscosity bracket 28.8 to 35.2 mm2 /s (cSt), the mid point <strong>of</strong> which is<br />
32.0 mm2 /s (cSt). This is illustrated in the table below, which shows the ISO viscosity grade numbers, the<br />
mid-points <strong>of</strong> each bracket, and the viscosity limits.<br />
This system is now used to classify all shell industrial lubricating oils where viscosity is an important criterion<br />
in the selection <strong>of</strong> the oil. Cutting oil and some other specialised products are more important in relation to<br />
grade selection.<br />

GREASE CLASSIFICATIONS<br />
NLGI GREASE CONSISTENCY CLASSIFICATION<br />
The commonly used grease consistency classification is that established in the USA many years ago by<br />
the National Lubricating Grease Institute (NLG). This classifies greases solely in terms <strong>of</strong> their hardness or<br />
s<strong>of</strong>tness; no other property or performance level is taken into consideration.<br />
The classification consists <strong>of</strong> a series <strong>of</strong> consistency range, each <strong>of</strong> which is defined by a number (or<br />
numbers) 000 to 6. The consistency, defined by the distance in tenths <strong>of</strong> a millimeter, that a standard cone<br />
penetrates a sample <strong>of</strong> the grease number under standard conditions at 25ºC. This system is used to classify<br />
shell industrial greases.<br />

AGMA Specifications for Gear Lubricants<br />
The American Gear Manufacturers Association (AGMA) have issued specifications and recommendations for<br />
gear lubricants used in various types <strong>of</strong> gear application. AGMA Standard 250.04 details specifications for<br />
rust and oxidation inhibited (R and O) and extreme-pressure (EP) lubricants used in enclosed gear drives.<br />
The viscosity brackets correspond to those given in ASTM D 2422 ‘Standard Recommended Practice for<br />
Viscosity System for Industrial Fluid Lubricants’.<br />

brackets for the higher viscosity grades are measured at 100 ºC.<br />
LUBRICANT VISCOSITY CLASSIFICATIONS<br />
ENGINE OIL LUBRICANT CLASSIFICATIONS<br />
SAE J300 September 1980 (Engine <strong>Oil</strong>s)<br />
The most widely used system for engine oil viscosity classification is that established by the Society <strong>of</strong><br />
Automotive Engineers (SAE) in the USA.<br />
In this system two series <strong>of</strong> viscosity grades are defined – those containing the letter W and those without<br />
the letter W.<br />
Grades with the letter W are intended for use at lower temperatures and are based on a maximum low<br />
temperature viscosity and a maximum borderline pumping temperature, as well as a minimum viscosity<br />
at 100ºC. The low temperature viscosity is measured by means <strong>of</strong> a multi-temperature version <strong>of</strong><br />
ASTM D2602 ‘Method <strong>of</strong> Test for apparent Viscosity <strong>of</strong> Motor <strong>Oil</strong>s at Low temperature using the Cold
anking Simulator’. Viscosities measured by this method have been found to correlate with engine speeds<br />
developed during low temperature cranking. Borderline pumping temperature is measured according to<br />
ASTM D3829 ‘Standard Method for Predicting the Borderline Pumping Temperature <strong>of</strong> Engine <strong>Oil</strong>’. This<br />
provides a measure <strong>of</strong> an oils’ ability to flow to the engine oil pump inlet and provide adequate engine oil<br />
pressure during the initial stages <strong>of</strong> operation.<br />
<strong>Oil</strong>s without the letter W, intended for use at higher temperatures, are based on the viscosity at 100ºC only.<br />
These are measured by ASTM D445 ‘Method <strong>of</strong> Test for Kinematic Viscosity <strong>of</strong> temperature and Opaque<br />
Liquids’.<br />
A ‘Multi-grade’ oil is one whose low temperature viscosity and borderline temperature satisfy the requirements<br />
<strong>of</strong> one <strong>of</strong> the W grades and whose viscosity at 100oC is within the stipulated range <strong>of</strong> one-W-grades.<br />

AUTOMOTIVE GEAR LUBRICANT CLASSIFICATIONS<br />
SAE J306 (Gear <strong>Oil</strong>s)<br />
Again, the classification is based on the lubricant viscosity measured at low and/or high temperatures. The<br />
high temperatures values are determined according to method ASTM D445. The low temperature values are<br />
determined according to method ASTM D2983 ‘Method <strong>of</strong> Test for Apparent Viscosity at Low Temperature<br />
using the Brookfield Viscometer’ and are measured in mPa.s (c.P).<br />
Multi-grade oil satisfies the viscosity requirements <strong>of</strong> one <strong>of</strong> the W grades at low temperatures and one <strong>of</strong> the<br />
non-W grades at high temperature.<br />
It should be noticed that there is no relationship between the SAE engine oil and gear oil classifications. A<br />
gear lubricant and an engine oil having the same viscosity will have widely different SAE grade designation<br />
as defined in the two classifications.<br />
This system is used to classify shell automotive gear lubricants.<br />

LUBRICANT SERVICE CLASSIFICATIONS AND SPECIFICATIONS<br />
API SERVICE CLASSIFICATIONS (ENGINE CRANKCASE OILS)<br />
The American Petroleum Institute (API) Engine Service Classification was developed as a result <strong>of</strong> a cooperative<br />
effort in the USA between the API, the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and<br />
the Society <strong>of</strong> Automotive Engineers (SAE). The tripartite was developed to form a means <strong>of</strong> communication<br />
between the engine manufacturers and lubricants suppliers.<br />
The system defines classes <strong>of</strong> service for both petrol and diesel engine applications as well as stipulating the<br />
accepted engine laboratory tests.<br />
The letter ‘S’ (Service Station Classification) is designated for spark ignition engines (petrol engines) in<br />
passenger cars and light commercial vehicles. For compression ignition engines (diesel engines), the letter ‘C’<br />
(Commercial Classifications) has been designated. The following is a brief summary <strong>of</strong> the API classifications.<br />
API Base <strong>Oil</strong> Definitions<br />
Group I base stocks contain less than 90% saturates and/or greater than 0.03% sulfur and have viscosity<br />
index greater than or equal to 80 and less than 120.<br />
Group II base stocks contain greater than or equal to 90% saturates and less than or equal to 0.03% sulfur<br />
and have viscosity index greater than or equal to 80 and less than 120.<br />
Group III base stocks contain greater than or equal to 90% saturates and less than or equal to 0.03% sulfur<br />
and have viscosity index greater than or equal to 120.<br />
Group IV base stocks are polyalphaolefins (PAO).<br />
Group V base stocks include all other base stocks not included in Group I, II, III or IV.<br />
API Automotive Gear Lubricant Specifications<br />
API SERVICE CLASSIFICATIONS<br />
The most important internationally accepted system defining automotive gear oil performance characteristics is<br />
laid down by the American petroleum institute (API).<br />
API GL-1<br />
Designates the type <strong>of</strong> service characteristics <strong>of</strong> automotive spiral-bevel and worm gear axles and some<br />
manually operated transmissions operating under such mild conditions <strong>of</strong> low unit pressures and sliding<br />
velocities that a non-additive mineral oil can be used satisfactorily. Oxidation and rust inhibitors, anti-foam<br />
additives and pour point depressants may be utilized to improve the characteristics <strong>of</strong> lubricant for this<br />
service. Does not contain friction modifiers and extreme-pressure agents.<br />
API GL-2<br />
Designates the type <strong>of</strong> service characteristics <strong>of</strong> automotive-type worm gear axles operating under such<br />
conditions <strong>of</strong> load, temperature and sliding velocities that lubricants satisfying API GL-1 service will not suffice.<br />
Products suited for this type <strong>of</strong> service contain anti-wear or very mild extreme-pressure agents that provide<br />
protection for worm gears.<br />
API GL-3<br />
Designates the type <strong>of</strong> service characteristics <strong>of</strong> manual transmissions and spiral-bevel axles operating<br />
under moderately sever conditions <strong>of</strong> speed and load. These service conditions require a lubricant having<br />
load carrying capacity greater than that which will satisfy API GL-1 service, but below the requirements <strong>of</strong><br />
lubricants satisfying API GL-4 service. Lubricants designated for this service typically contain additives that are<br />
active at the tooth surface at the temperatures resulting from high-speed or load.<br />
API GL-4<br />
Designates the type <strong>of</strong> service characteristics <strong>of</strong> gears in manual transmissions operating under sever conditions<br />
<strong>of</strong> sliding speed, particularly spiral bevel and hypoid gears in moderate service, in passenger cars and other<br />
automotive-type equipment operated under high speed/low torque and low speed/high torque conditions.<br />
API GL-5<br />
Designates the type <strong>of</strong> service characteristics <strong>of</strong> gears particularly hypoid, in passenger cars and other<br />
automotive equipment operated under high-speed/shock load, high-speed/low-torque, and low-speed/hightorque<br />

Chromatography<br />
A method <strong>of</strong> separation based on selective<br />
adsorption. A solution <strong>of</strong> the substance is allowed to<br />
flow slowly through a column <strong>of</strong> adsorbent. Different<br />
substances will pass with different speeds down the<br />
column and will eventually be separated into zones.<br />
The column core can then be pushed out and the<br />
zones <strong>of</strong> material cut apart, or the zones can be<br />
eluted by passing more solvent down the column<br />
and collecting it in small fractions.<br />
Partition Chromatography involves the selective<br />
solution <strong>of</strong> the desired material between two<br />
solvents. The final solvent, usually water, is used to<br />
wet the solid material packed in the column, and<br />
the first solvent containing the desired material is<br />
poured into the column as described.<br />
Paper Chromatography is a micro method. A<br />
drop <strong>of</strong> the liquid to be investigated is place near<br />
one end <strong>of</strong> a strip <strong>of</strong> paper. This end is immersed<br />
in solvent which travels down the paper and<br />
distributes the materials present in the original drop<br />
selectively. Comparison with known substances<br />
makes identification possible.<br />
Gas chromatography is an analytical technique<br />
for separating mixtures <strong>of</strong> volatile substances. The<br />
procedure consists <strong>of</strong> introducing the mixture to be<br />
examined into the chromatographic column and<br />
washing it down with an inert gas. The column is<br />
packed with adsorbent materials which selectively<br />
retard the components <strong>of</strong> the sample.<br />
