Shell Omala S4 GX 320 • Extra Life and Protection

• Special Applications
Advanced Synthetic Industrial Gear Oil
Shell Omala S4 GX is an advanced synthetic heavy duty industrial gear oil offering outstanding lubrication
performance under severe operating conditions, including reduced friction, long service life and high resistance to
micro-pitting for optimal gear protection.
Performance, Features & Benefits Main Applications
· Long oil life - maintenance saving

Shell Omala S4 GX is formulated using an advanced additive
system in combination with specially selected synthetic base
fluids to provide outstanding resistance to breakdown over
long duration and/or high temperature operation.
· Wind turbines and other inaccessible installations

· Maintaining system efficiency are recommended. For automotive hypoid gears, the
appropriate Shell Spirax Oil should be used.
Shell Omala S4 GX can help maintain or enhance the
efficiency of industrial gear systems through improved low
temperature performance and lower friction in comparison to
mineral oil-based products. This provides better lubrication at
low start-up temperatures.
