Performance Features

Oxidation resistant
Long oil life because of its natural
resistance to the formation of sludge
and the products of oxidation

High Viscosity Index

Minimal change of viscosity over the
operating temperature range

Seal Compatibility
Shell Vitrea Oils are compatible with all
normal mineral oil seal materials

Health & Safety

Shell Vitrea Oils are unlikely to present
any significant health or safety hazard
when properly used in the recommended
application, and good standards of
industrial and personal hygiene are
maintained.
