Shell Tellus S2 VA 46

( Previously named: Shell Tellus TD )

Detergent hydraulic fluid engineered for demanding mobile and industrial systems

  • Detergent additive system disperses solid contaminants and prevents water accumulation

  • Zinc-based anti-wear protection and corrosion resistance in the presence of water

  • High viscosity index ensures protection from low-temperature startup to high-load operation

  • Excellent air release, foam resistance, and filterability for enhanced system performance

  • Low-friction additives reduce stick-slip in high-load conditions

  • Manufactured to ISO 4406 21/19/16 cleanliness at Shell filling lines

  • Compatible with most mineral oils, seals, and hydraulic components

  • Formerly known as Shell Tellus TD

Global Product Code: 001D7756



Application:

Shell Tellus S2 VA 46 is an ISO VG 46 detergent-type hydraulic fluid formulated to provide superior protection in mobile and industrial hydraulic systems exposed to contamination, water ingress, and extreme operating conditions. It is designed to meet HVLPD oil specifications and is suitable where emulsifiable fluids are preferred. Formerly known as Shell Tellus TD.

Performance Features & Benefits:

  • Water Tolerance: Prevents water accumulation and disperses solid contaminants for improved system reliability in moist or dirty environments.
  • Detergent Technology: Maintains internal cleanliness and supports corrosion protection even in the presence of water.
  • Wear Protection: Uses proven zinc-based additives for low-friction, anti-wear performance under severe duty.
  • Temperature Versatility: High viscosity index enables effective operation from cold starts to high-temperature cycles.
  • Operational Efficiency: Excellent air release, foam control, and filterability extend component life and promote smooth hydraulic function.
  • Low-Friction Performance: Reduces stick-slip behavior in systems under high mechanical stress or poor lubrication.

Main Application Areas:

  • Earthmoving and mobile equipment exposed to harsh outdoor conditions
  • Hydraulic systems requiring HVLPD oils (per DIN 51524-3)
  • Hydraulic systems specifying SAE 10W, 20W-20, or 30 engine oils
  • Certain industrial gearboxes

Specifications & Approvals:

  • DIN 51524-3 (HVLPD fluids)*
  • ISO 11158 (HV fluids)*
  • ASTM D6158 (HV fluids)
  • Bosch Rexroth RD 90220-01 (2011) for ISO 32–68 grades

*Meets specifications except for demulsibility, which is not applicable to detergent-type fluids.

Environmental & Safety Information:

  • Unlikely to present significant health or safety hazards when used correctly and with good hygiene practices.
  • Use impervious gloves when handling used oil. Wash exposed skin immediately with soap and water.
  • Do not discharge into drains, soil, or water. Take used oil to authorized collection points.
  • Safety Data Sheet (SDS) available via inquiry
