Global Product Code: 001D7850



Application:

Shell Omala S4 GX 150 is a fully synthetic, high-performance gear oil designed for use in enclosed industrial gear systems operating under severe conditions, including high load, shock loading, and extreme temperature variation. Previously known as Shell Omala HD, it provides outstanding micro-pitting resistance and long oil life, even in inaccessible or low-maintenance environments.

Performance Features & Benefits:

  • Extended Oil Life: Synthetic formulation enables prolonged use at bulk oil temperatures up to 120 °C without significant degradation or sludge formation.
  • Micro-pitting & Wear Protection: Superior EP and anti-wear characteristics protect gears and bearings, even under shock-loaded conditions.
  • System Efficiency: Reduced friction and excellent low-temperature fluidity improve start-up lubrication and overall system efficiency.
  • Corrosion Resistance: Provides reliable protection even in systems exposed to water or solid contaminants.

Main Application Areas:

  • Wind turbines and remote or difficult-to-access gear systems
  • Heavily loaded industrial reduction gears operating under extreme temperatures
  • Circulating and splash-lubricated systems requiring synthetic performance
  • Not recommended for worm drives (use Shell Omala “W” series) or hypoid gears (use Shell Spirax)

Specifications & Approvals:

  • David Brown S1.53.106 (except ISO 1000)
  • ISO 12925-1 Type CKD (except ISO 1000)
  • ANSI/AGMA 9005-E02 (EP) (except ISO 1000)
  • US Steel 224 (except ISO 1000)
  • DIN 51517-3 (CLP) (except ISO 1000)

Environmental & Safety Information:

  • Unlikely to present significant hazards when used as recommended and proper hygiene is maintained.
  • Avoid skin contact; use impervious gloves with used oil and wash with soap and water after exposure.
  • Used oil should be taken to authorized collection points—do not discharge into drains, soil, or water.
  • Safety Data Sheet (SDS) available via inquiry
