Name and product code update

This product was previously listed under item code 550046690. The current manufacturer code for Shell Omala S4 GXV Plus 220 209L is 550074145. 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 220

Shell Omala S4 GXV Plus 220 is intended for industrial gear systems requiring a synthetic gear oil in ISO VG 220 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 stable gearbox operation, correct oil film, protection of cooperating components and lubrication standardisation in the facility are 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 220 209L

• enclosed industrial gearboxes requiring ISO VG 220 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,
• planned oil changes in larger industrial gear systems.

What distinguishes Shell Omala S4 GXV Plus 220

Shell Omala S4 GXV Plus 220 is a synthetic gear oil intended for modern industrial gear systems. In practice, the key value is the combination of ISO VG 220 viscosity grade, stable oil film and gear component protection in daily industrial operation.

For the user, the 209L version is important from an operational and purchasing perspective: it helps plan stock, service larger systems and standardise gear oil used in the facility. It is intended for companies that regularly use this viscosity grade rather than for single top-ups.

When to choose Shell Omala S4 GXV Plus 220

This product should be selected when the machine documentation specifies a synthetic gear oil in ISO VG 220 viscosity grade or when the previous product record used Shell Omala S4 GXV Plus 220 209L under code 550046690 and the current manufacturer code 550074145 must now be used.

ISO VG 220 should not be automatically replaced with ISO VG 150, 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 220 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.

Storage

Store in the original, tightly closed and properly labelled container, in a dry place, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, water and contamination. The drum should be protected from damage, as gear oil cleanliness is important for the durability of gears, bearings and cooperating components.

FAQ

What is the current code for Shell Omala S4 GXV Plus 220 209L?

The current manufacturer code for Shell Omala S4 GXV Plus 220 209L is 550074145. The previous item code was 550046690.

Is Shell Omala S4 GXV Plus 220 a hydraulic oil?

No. Shell Omala S4 GXV Plus 220 is a gear oil intended for industrial gearboxes and gear systems, not a hydraulic oil.

What gearboxes is Shell Omala S4 GXV Plus 220 used for?

It is intended for enclosed industrial gearboxes, geared motors and circulating or splash-lubricated systems where the equipment manufacturer requires ISO VG 220 gear oil.

Can ISO VG 220 be replaced with ISO VG 150 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 component protection and system efficiency.

Does the 209L packaging require special delivery?

Yes. The 209L packaging should be treated as an oversized product and set up for pallet or non-standard delivery according to the store’s shipping configuration.
