Name and product code update

This product was previously listed under item code 550047048. The current manufacturer code for Shell Omala S4 GXV Plus 150 20L is 550074155. When updating product records in ERP, webshop, BaseLinker or Allegro, the current code should be used, while the previous code can remain in the description for product history and identification.

Application of Shell Omala S4 GXV Plus 150

Shell Omala S4 GXV Plus 150 is intended for industrial gear systems requiring a synthetic gear oil in ISO VG 150 viscosity grade. It can be used in enclosed gearboxes, geared motors, loaded industrial gears and systems where the machine manufacturer specifies this type and viscosity grade of lubricant.

The product is suitable where protection of gear teeth, bearings and cooperating components against wear, corrosion and micro-pitting is important. Before use, always confirm the required viscosity grade and oil type in the equipment manufacturer’s documentation.

Typical uses of Shell Omala S4 GXV Plus 150 20L

• enclosed industrial gearboxes requiring ISO VG 150 oil,
• geared motors and industrial gear units,
• circulating or splash-lubricated systems, if approved by the equipment manufacturer,
• gearboxes operating under load and changing temperature conditions,
• industrial maintenance and machine service applications,
• applications requiring the current Shell Omala S4 GXV Plus series.

What distinguishes Shell Omala S4 GXV Plus 150

Shell Omala S4 GXV Plus 150 is based on synthetic technology and is intended for modern industrial gear applications. The Shell Omala S4 GXV Plus range has been developed for current and future gear systems, where protection, reliability and lubrication stability are important.

For the user, the practical value is the ability to use the oil in systems where gearbox protection, wear reduction, stable operation and lubrication standardisation are important. The ISO VG 150 variant should be used only where this viscosity grade is specified by the equipment manufacturer.

When to choose Shell Omala S4 GXV Plus 150

This product should be selected when the machine documentation specifies a synthetic gear oil in ISO VG 150 viscosity grade or when the previous product record used Shell Omala S4 GXV Plus 150 20L under code 550047048 and the current manufacturer code 550074155 must now be used.

ISO VG 150 should not be automatically replaced with ISO VG 220, 320, 460 or 680 only because the product range name is similar. Gear oil viscosity affects gearbox operation, working temperature, oil film strength and overall system efficiency.

Important points before use

Before use, check the equipment manufacturer’s documentation and confirm that ISO VG 150 is the required viscosity grade. During oil replacement, verify seal condition, system cleanliness, contamination level and compatibility with the lubricant previously used.

Do not mix different types of gear oils without confirming compatibility. When updating from an older item record, pay attention to the current product code, packaging size and gearbox requirements.

FAQ

What is the current code for Shell Omala S4 GXV Plus 150 20L?

The current manufacturer code for Shell Omala S4 GXV Plus 150 20L is 550074155. The previous item code was 550047048.

Is Shell Omala S4 GXV Plus 150 a hydraulic oil?

No. Shell Omala S4 GXV Plus 150 is a gear oil intended for industrial gearboxes and gear systems, not a hydraulic oil.

What gearboxes is Shell Omala S4 GXV Plus 150 used for?

It is intended for enclosed industrial gearboxes, geared motors and circulating or splash-lubricated systems where the equipment manufacturer requires ISO VG 150 gear oil.

Can ISO VG 150 be replaced with ISO VG 220 or ISO VG 320?

Viscosity grades should not be changed without checking the machine documentation. ISO VG 150, ISO VG 220 and ISO VG 320 have different viscosities, and incorrect oil selection may affect gearbox temperature, gear protection and system efficiency.

Does the 20L packaging require special delivery?

The 20L version should follow the store’s shipping configuration for industrial oils. If 20L containers are handled as non-standard shipments, this product should be set up in the same way.
