Lighten the load
You and your equipment work hard to meet deadlines, control costs and lower emissions.
To lighten the load, we have created energy-efficient Shell Tellus S4 VE. Its low-density gives you the potential for up to 5% greater energy efficiency1/lower operating emissions10, with performance that can improve productivity by up to 6%9 and double the oil-drain interval/half fluid-related emissions10. Combined, these benefits can lower the total cost of owning hydraulic equipment by up to 7%3.
Choosing the wrong oil leads to avoidable costs and delays
You may have noticed that your newer equipment is more efficient. Increasing environmental regulations and a desire to reduce operating costs is driving energy efficiency improvements. At the same time, many operators are working their machines harder to meet productivity targets resulting in higher hydraulic system pressures and temperatures.
To increase efficiency, hydraulic systems are being designed with smaller fluid tanks. This means less fluid residence time to dissipate the heat that promotes damaging sludge and varnish formation, and for the release of air and other contaminants that can cause failures.
These challenges make your choice of oil increasingly important for avoiding costly unplanned maintenance and delays.
Not all fluids meet today’s needs or the rapidly evolving industry standards.
Efficiency without compromise
Gas-to-liquids (GTL) technology enables us to create Shell Tellus S4 VE with lower density (high mechanical efficiency) than conventional fluids. It also releases air rapidly to maintain its volumetric efficiency (ability to transmit power efficiently rather than absorb energy by changing volume by compressing air bubbles). Being lighter makes it easier to pump for up to 5% greater energy efficiency1/lower operating emissions10 for lower fuel/power costs.
However, efficiency is only one key feature. Shell Tellus S4 VE also exceeds the latest industry standards for oil life, wear protection (by up to 5 times4) and system efficiency, and outperforms competitor oils, including forming 15 times less sludge than a zinc-free synthetic fluid.5
Its extreme durability helps to double the oil-drain interval2 for lower oil consumption and planned oil changes, and reduce unplanned downtime by preventing sludge, varnish and wear to improve productivity by up to 6%9.
Together, the potential to reduce fuel/power costs and increase productivity can lower the total cost of owning hydraulic equipment by up to 7%.3

It is a premium product, so I’ll be very upfront, it is going to have a slightly higher purchase cost. But if you think what it will deliver in terms of energy saving, and the oil will last a lot longer, and if you’re not having to take the kit out of service, you’re also increasing productivity.

Louise Thompson
So, add all that together, and a little extra cost on the hydraulic fluid will more than pay for itself.
Client
So, how do we take this forward?
Louise Thompson
I can get one of my technical colleagues to come, have a look at your fleet and your operating conditions to come up with an estimate around what the cost saving could actually be for your company.
Client
So you’d tailor it specifically for our business?

To keep productivity high, you need to be confident that cavitation and other issues are not going to put your machines out of action. The smaller reservoirs in modern mobile equipment mean less time for air release. If bubbles are carried into the system, they may reduce the fluid’s ability to transmit power efficiently (its primary purpose), promote aging through chemical break down (oxidation) and cause erosion damage when they collapse (cavitation).
Shell Tellus S4 VE has 27% faster air release that a competitor’s mineral oil6. And machines running with it are up to 5.5% quieter7 and have better stick–slip performance8 for greater precision.
The fluid’s wide operating temperature range means you can work in all seasons without changing fluids and move machines between climatic zones, and its high electrical conductivity, dielectric strength and flash point enables a wide range of applications to be undertaken safely.

4. Danfoss Vickers 35VQ25 vane pump test (ATS373).
5. High-temperature Indiana stirring oxidation test (ISOT) (JIS K2514). The test promotes the oxidation by blowing dry air at 165.5°C in the presence of copper and iron coils. After 48 and 96 hours, oil samples are forced through a paper filter to examine the sludge buildup. Measured using industry standard, Shell proprietary and internal competitor benchmarking tests. Actual effects and benefits may vary. No guarantees provided. VG 46, based on Shell internal competitor testing.
6. Air release test (ASTM D3427). A fixed quantity of compressed air is blown through the test oil for a fixed time. The time taken for the finely dispersed air to release from the oil such that the final density of the oil is 99.8% of the original density is measured as the air release time. Measured using industry standard, Shell proprietary and internal competitor benchmarking tests. Actual effects and benefits may vary. No guarantees provided. VG 46.
7. Relates to the hydraulic system. Compared with a conventional mineral oil fluid in standard hydraulic applications under controlled conditions. Claims are based on test results in accordance with applicable industry standards, Shell protocols and Shell methodology. Results may vary based on operating conditions and equipment. No guarantees are provided. See later slide.
8. Compared to a competitor mineral oil. ASTM D2877 modified, Stick–slip is a dynamic cyclic process where two mating surfaces oscillate between a stick phase and a slip phase. This test is used to determine the dynamic and static coefficients of friction and is a measure of the resistance of one surface to being dragged across another.
9. Based on tests run at 2,200 rpm with aeration (with all fluids were ISO VG 46) conducted by the Milwaukee School of Engineering Fluid Power Institute. Test methodology presented at the ASME/BATH 2017 Symposium on Fluid Power and Motion Control. The productivity relates to the hydraulic pump volumetric efficiency of a formulation of Shell Tellus S4 VE when compared with a conventional, mineral oil fluid in standard hydraulic bench testing under controlled conditions. The claim is based on test results in accordance with applicable industry standards and Shell protocols and methodologies. Results may vary based on operating conditions and equipment.
10. The emissions reduction stated relate to the customer’s activities influenced by lubricant usage only (e.g., lubricant or fuel consumption), which represents a small part of the overall customer’s generated emissions. Emission reduction have been estimated based on Shell Tellus S4 VE having double the oil-drain interval of Shell Tellus S2 MX. They do not represent a guarantee that savings will be achieved. Actual savings may be higher or lower than this calculation. Please note, an average carbon footprint has been generated using carbon footprint profiles for an applicable product family. In general, for Product Carbon Footprints: CO₂, CH₄, N₂O emissions are jointly referred to as “CO₂ equivalent” (CO₂e) emissions typically associated with the raw material extraction, production, distribution, use and end of life of the product. Absolute values may not be comparable against carbon footprint calculations for similar products by other manufacturers recognising the differences in methodology and underlying assumptions. Currently there are no product category rules for the calculation of lubricant carbon footprints and assumptions around emission factors can differ depending on databases used. Carbon footprint calculations may only be disclosed to third parties upon written approval by Shell.
Shell does not make any representation or warranty, whether expressed or implied, regarding (1) the accuracy, completeness, reliability or relevance of the emission reduction calculation, (2) any marketing, reporting or other claims, Partner may make based on the calculation. Shell and its affiliated companies are not liable in any way for any loss, damages or expenses arising out of or in connection with the use of the emission reduction calculations by Partner.
