Shell Tellus Oil ST

Zinc-free hydraulic oil for wide temperature range

Shell Tellus Oils ST are high viscosity index, mineral hydraulic oils using zinc-free
performance additives

Applications • Hydrolytic stability

Tellus ST is intended especially for modern mobile Outstanding resistance to hydrolysis, making it
(or static) hydraulic systems working under severe non-aggressive to alloys containing copper
and variable operating conditions. when water is present.
In other words, systems
• operating at low temperature
• exposed to substantial temperature variations Specification and Approvals
• sensitive to changes in viscosity ISO 6743 part 4

representative.
• Good anti-wear properties Protect the environment
High mechanical performance thanks to its high Take used oil to an authorised collection point. Do

capabilities.
• Good oxidation resistance
Increases the service life of the oil and the
equipment.
• Good demulsibility capability
Water can easily be drained from the circuit, thus
avoiding any risk of ferrous metal corrosion.
