Shell Tellus S3 M 68

Application:

Shell Tellus S3 M 68 is a high-performance ISO VG 68 zinc-free hydraulic fluid designed for extended fluid life and protection in manufacturing, marine, and mobile hydraulic systems. Its advanced formulation supports system cleanliness and reliability under severe operating conditions. Formerly known as Shell Tellus S3 M.

Performance Features & Benefits:

• Extended Fluid Life: Minimum 5000-hour lifespan in ASTM D943 TOST test; resists oxidative breakdown from heat and water contamination.
• Superior Wear Protection: Advanced zinc-free additives offer protection under varied loads; proven effective in Denison T6H and Eaton Vickers 35VQ25 pump tests.
• Hydraulic Efficiency: Retains filterability and system performance even with water present. Outstanding water separation, air release, and foam control.
• Cleanliness: Delivered at ISO 4406 21/19/16 or better to reduce abrasive wear and extend filter life.
• Environmental Performance: Classified as ‘not harmful’ to freshwater and marine invertebrates; low sulfur base oils and zinc-free formulation reduce impact in case of leaks.
