Top 5 Benefits of High-Performance Hydraulic Oils
Why Shell Tellus is the Smart Choice for Industrial Uptime
When it comes to keeping your heavy-duty machinery running smoothly and efficiently, hydraulic oil isn't just a lubricant — it's a key performance factor. Choosing a high-performance hydraulic oil like Shell Tellus can dramatically reduce operational costs, extend equipment life, and enhance system performance.
Here are the top five reasons why switching to Shell Tellus Hydraulic Oil is a smart business decision:
1
Wear and tear are inevitable in hydraulic systems — but Shell Tellus helps minimize that impact. With advanced anti-wear additives and ashless technology (in Shell Tellus S4 ME and S3 M), Shell Tellus offers up to 82% less wear compared to conventional oils.
2
Shell Tellus S4 ME has been proven to last up to four times longer than standard hydraulic oils, helping you extend oil drain intervals significantly.
Why it matters:Longer oil life reduces maintenance frequency, cuts disposal costs, and lowers the total cost of ownership.
