Application:

Shell Tellus S4 ME 46 is a premium synthetic ISO VG 46 hydraulic fluid designed to improve energy efficiency and extend equipment protection and oil service life in demanding hydraulic systems. It is ideal for use in high-pressure industrial operations, including injection moulding and metal pressing, as well as mobile and marine systems. Previously known as Shell Tellus EE.

Performance Features & Benefits:

  • Energy Efficiency: Field-tested to improve energy efficiency by 1–4% in real-world hydraulic systems through optimized flow, friction, and power transmission characteristics.
  • Extended Oil Life: Provides over 10,000 hours of oxidation stability in the TOST test, supporting extended drain intervals and reduced maintenance downtime.
  • Exceptional Wear Protection: Demonstrates up to 68% less wear in the Vickers V104C pump test versus the standard 50 mg OEM pass limit.
  • System Cleanliness: Delivered to ISO 4406 class 21/19/16 or better, minimizing sludge formation, corrosion, and valve sticking.
  • Robust Performance: Resistant to degradation from heat, water, and contaminants; compatible with common materials and mineral oil systems.
