Shell Omala S4 GXV Plus 460 20L synthetic gear oil ISO VG 460

Shell Omala S4 GXV Plus 460 20L – synthetic gear oil ISO VG 460

Shell Omala S4 GXV Plus 460 20L is a synthetic gear oil in ISO VG 460 viscosity grade, intended for enclosed industrial gearboxes, geared motors and circulating or splash-lubricated systems. It belongs to the Shell Omala S4 GXV Plus range, designed for gear systems where high oil viscosity, a stable lubricating film and protection of loaded components are required.

The 20L packaging is practical for service teams, maintenance departments and production facilities that need gear oil for top-ups, periodic oil changes or servicing individual gearboxes without purchasing a 209L drum. The ISO VG 460 grade is more viscous than ISO VG 150, 220 or 320 variants, so it should be selected only according to the equipment manufacturer’s documentation.

Name and product code update

This product was previously listed under item code 550070633. The current manufacturer code for Shell Omala S4 GXV Plus 460 20L is 550074159. 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 460

Shell Omala S4 GXV Plus 460 is intended for industrial gear systems requiring a synthetic gear oil in ISO VG 460 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 the gearbox requires high-viscosity oil and where maintaining a lubricating film, reducing wear of cooperating components and stable operation under demanding conditions are important. Before use, always confirm the required viscosity grade in the equipment manufacturer’s documentation.

Typical uses of Shell Omala S4 GXV Plus 460 20L

• enclosed industrial gearboxes requiring ISO VG 460 oil,
• geared motors and industrial gear units,
• circulating or splash-lubricated systems, if approved by the equipment manufacturer,
• gearboxes operating under load and requiring high-viscosity oil,
• industrial maintenance and machine service applications,
• periodic oil changes and top-ups in gear systems.

What distinguishes Shell Omala S4 GXV Plus 460

Shell Omala S4 GXV Plus 460 is a synthetic gear oil intended for industrial gear systems requiring ISO VG 460 viscosity grade. In practice, this means use in gearboxes where the equipment manufacturer requires a thicker oil film than with ISO VG 150, 220 or 320 oils.

For the user, the 20L version is practical: it makes it easier to perform service work, top up a system or handle an individual gearbox without purchasing a drum. It is a sensible packaging size where demand for ISO VG 460 oil does not justify a 209L drum.

When to choose Shell Omala S4 GXV Plus 460

This product should be selected when the machine documentation specifies a synthetic gear oil in ISO VG 460 viscosity grade or when the previous product record used Shell Omala S4 GXV Plus 460 20L under code 550070633 and the current manufacturer code 550074159 must now be used.

ISO VG 460 should not be automatically replaced with ISO VG 150, 220, 320 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 460 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 container 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 460 20L?

The current manufacturer code for Shell Omala S4 GXV Plus 460 20L is 550074159. The previous item code was 550070633.

Is Shell Omala S4 GXV Plus 460 a hydraulic oil?

No. Shell Omala S4 GXV Plus 460 is a gear oil intended for industrial gearboxes and gear systems, not a hydraulic oil.

What gearboxes is Shell Omala S4 GXV Plus 460 used for?

It is intended for enclosed industrial gearboxes, geared motors and circulating or splash-lubricated systems where the equipment manufacturer requires ISO VG 460 gear oil.

Can ISO VG 460 be replaced with ISO VG 320 or ISO VG 680?

Viscosity grades should not be changed without checking the machine documentation. ISO VG 320, ISO VG 460 and ISO VG 680 have different viscosities, and incorrect oil selection may affect gearbox temperature, gear component 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.
