Shell Tellus Zinc Free S3 MX 32 20L zinc-free hydraulic oil ISO VG 32

Shell Tellus Zinc Free S3 MX 32 20L – zinc-free hydraulic oil ISO VG 32

Shell Tellus Zinc Free S3 MX 32 20L is a zinc-free hydraulic oil in ISO VG 32 viscosity grade, designed for hydraulic systems in industrial machinery, agricultural machines, road equipment and units requiring stable lubrication and protection of hydraulic components. The product replaces the previous designation Shell Tellus S3 M 32, so product records, orders and descriptions should now use the current name and manufacturer code.

Shell Tellus Zinc Free S3 MX 32 is suitable for systems where the machine manufacturer requires a zinc-free hydraulic oil in ISO VG 32 viscosity grade. It is intended for installations where reliable operation of pumps, valves and actuators, wear protection and stable hydraulic performance are important in daily operation.

Name and product code change

This product was previously available as Shell Tellus S3 M 32 20L under product code 550027112. The current product name is Shell Tellus Zinc Free S3 MX 32 20L, and the current manufacturer code is 550076449. The change concerns the product series name and catalogue number, so when ordering, verify the current code, packaging size and ISO VG 32 viscosity grade.

Application of Shell Tellus Zinc Free S3 MX 32

Shell Tellus Zinc Free S3 MX 32 is intended for hydraulic systems requiring a zinc-free hydraulic oil in ISO VG 32 viscosity grade. It can be used in industrial machinery, production equipment, agricultural machines, road machinery and power hydraulic systems, provided that this oil type and viscosity class are specified in the equipment documentation.

The 20L packaging is practical for service teams, maintenance departments and machine users who need oil for topping up, service replacement or regular hydraulic system maintenance without purchasing a large drum.

Typical uses of Shell Tellus Zinc Free S3 MX 32 20L

• industrial hydraulic systems requiring ISO VG 32 oil,
• agricultural and road machinery where this viscosity grade is recommended by the equipment manufacturer,
• pumps, valves, distributors, actuators and hydraulic power units,
• power hydraulic systems used in daily operation,
• service and maintenance applications where Shell Tellus S3 M 32 was previously used,
• applications requiring a zinc-free hydraulic oil.

What distinguishes Shell Tellus Zinc Free S3 MX 32

The most important information for customers ordering according to older product records is the change from Shell Tellus S3 M 32 to Shell Tellus Zinc Free S3 MX 32. This helps users who previously purchased the oil under code 550027112 identify the current equivalent under code 550076449.

The product is a zinc-free hydraulic oil, which is important in systems where this additive technology is required. The oil supports protection of hydraulic components against wear and corrosion and helps maintain stable system operation in conditions typical for industry, service and maintenance.

The ISO VG 32 viscosity grade means that the product should be used only where this viscosity is specified by the machine manufacturer. It should not be automatically replaced with ISO VG 46 or ISO VG 68 variants, because oil viscosity affects pump operation, working temperature, filtration and overall hydraulic system efficiency.

When to choose Shell Tellus Zinc Free S3 MX 32

This product should be selected when the machine documentation, purchase history or previous product record refers to Shell Tellus S3 M 32, and the current equivalent from the Shell Tellus Zinc Free S3 MX series is required. It is also the right choice when the hydraulic system requires a zinc-free hydraulic oil in ISO VG 32 viscosity grade.

Before use, check the equipment documentation and confirm the required viscosity grade. Hydraulic oil selection should always follow the machine manufacturer’s requirements, not only a similar product name or previous purchase history.

Important points before use

Before filling the system, make sure the machine requires hydraulic oil in ISO VG 32 viscosity grade and that a zinc-free oil is approved. When updating from the previous Shell Tellus S3 M 32 product, keep the same viscosity grade and correct packaging size.

Do not mix different types of hydraulic oils without confirming compatibility. During oil replacement, it is recommended to check filter condition, system cleanliness, water content and contamination level, as these factors directly affect the durability of pumps, valves and other hydraulic components.

Storage

Store in the original, tightly closed and properly labelled container, in a dry place, away from direct sunlight, heat sources and contamination. Protect the container from water, dust and dirt, as hydraulic oil cleanliness directly affects filters, pumps, valves and other hydraulic system components.

FAQ

Does Shell Tellus Zinc Free S3 MX 32 replace Shell Tellus S3 M 32?

Yes. The product was previously available as Shell Tellus S3 M 32. The current series name is Shell Tellus Zinc Free S3 MX, and the current manufacturer code for the 20L packaging is 550076449.

What was the old code for Shell Tellus S3 M 32 20L?

The previous product code was 550027112. When updating the product record, it should be changed to 550076449 and the name Shell Tellus Zinc Free S3 MX 32 20L should be used.

What is Shell Tellus Zinc Free S3 MX 32 used for?

It is a zinc-free hydraulic oil for systems requiring ISO VG 32 viscosity grade. It can be used in industrial, agricultural and road machinery if the equipment manufacturer’s requirements match this oil type.

Can ISO VG 32 be replaced with ISO VG 46?

Viscosity grades should not be changed without checking the machine documentation. ISO VG 32 and ISO VG 46 have different viscosities, so the correct oil must be selected according to the hydraulic system manufacturer’s requirements.

What is the difference between the old and current name?

The former name was Shell Tellus S3 M 32, while the current name is Shell Tellus Zinc Free S3 MX 32. For users, the most important points are the correct ISO VG 32 viscosity grade, 20L packaging and current code 550076449.

Is this oil suitable for maintenance departments?

Yes. It can be used by maintenance teams as a hydraulic oil for systems requiring ISO VG 32. Before use, machine requirements and hydraulic system condition should always be checked.
