Category:

Shell Omala S4 WE 150

( Previously named: Shell Tivela S )

Synthetic worm gear oil with exceptional efficiency and durability

  • Formulated with polyalkylene glycol (PAG) base fluids for high-performance worm gear lubrication

  • Offers long service life with excellent thermal and oxidation stability

  • Provides high resistance to wear, shock loads, and micro-pitting

  • Delivers energy savings—up to 15% vs. mineral oils and 11% vs. synthetic hydrocarbons

  • Suitable for enclosed worm gear systems and splash-lubricated bearings

  • Not recommended for use with aluminium components or mineral oil systems

  • Formerly known as Shell Tivela S

Global Product Code: 001D7856



Application:

Shell Omala S4 WE 150 is a fully synthetic industrial gear oil designed for enclosed worm gear systems operating under high loads and severe temperature conditions. Formulated with high-quality polyalkylene glycol (PAG) base fluids and advanced additives, it is ideal for applications demanding extended drain intervals, high efficiency, and superior micro-pitting resistance. Previously branded as Shell Tivela S.

Performance Features & Benefits:

  • Extended Oil Life: Exceptional oxidation and thermal stability help extend service intervals and maintain system cleanliness at high temperatures.
  • Wear Protection: High load-carrying capacity and excellent resistance to micro-pitting and shock loading prolong gear and bearing life.
  • Energy Efficiency: Demonstrated efficiency improvements of up to 15% over mineral oils and 11% over synthetic hydrocarbon lubricants in worm gear tests.

Main Application Areas:

  • Enclosed industrial worm gear systems under severe operating conditions
  • Systems requiring extended lubricant life and minimal maintenance (e.g. wind turbine yaw gears)
  • Splash-lubricated bearings and similar components
  • Note: Not suitable for aluminium or aluminium alloy components. Not compatible with mineral oils or most other synthetic oils.

Specifications & Approvals:

  • DIN 51517-3 (CLP)
  • Fully approved by Bonfiglioli

Environmental & Safety Information:

  • Use impervious gloves when handling used oil; avoid skin contact.
  • Dispose of used oil through authorised collection points; do not release into drains, soil, or water.
  • Safety Data Sheet (SDS) available via inquiry
