Recommendations:

Data for the modern equivalent, Shell Gadus S2 V100 3, includes: Lithium Hydroxystearate [7, 9]. NLGI Consistency: Grade 3 (Medium-hard consistency) [15]. Base Oil Type: Mineral oil [9]. Operating Temperature Range: Effective from approximately -20∘Cnegative 20 raised to the composed with power C +130∘Cpositive 130 raised to the composed with power C +140∘Cpositive 140 raised to the composed with power C shell alvania g3 data sheet

Moderate EP (Extreme Pressure) characteristics. The 4-ball weld load of 250 kg indicates suitability for normal to heavy loads, but not for severe shock-loading conditions (for which a grease with higher EP additives like Alvania EP(LF) would be required). | Parameter | Typical Value | Test Method
