Key Features and Benefits:

Extended Oil Life: Formulated to reduce the risk of thermal and chemical breakdown throughout the maintenance interval, Shell Omala S2 GX 68 withstands high thermal loading and resists the formation of sludge, providing extended oil life capability, even with bulk oil temperatures of up to 100°C.
Excellent Wear and Micropitting Protection: The oil’s formulation offers excellent load-carrying capacity and micropitting performance, contributing to long component life.
Maintained Gear System Efficiency: Optimized water separation performance, corrosion protection, and low foam-forming tendency help maintain gear system efficiency. The oil’s excellent water-shedding capability and corrosion protection, even in the presence of seawater and solids, prevent surface fatigue of gears and bearings and protect internal surfaces from ferrous corrosion. Additionally, its low foam-forming tendency is beneficial in applications with marginal oil reservoir residence times.

Applications:

Enclosed Industrial Gear Systems: Designed for enclosed industrial gearboxes using steel-on-steel, spur, helical, or planetary gear drives, including highly loaded systems with splash or forced circulation systems.
Non-Geared Applications: Suitable for the lubrication of bearings and other steel-on-steel components with splash or forced circulation systems.
