Product Information
Full details
The Shell Gadus S3 V220C 2 is a high-performance, multi-purpose grease designed for professional mechanics and industrial maintenance technicians who require reliable lubrication under demanding conditions. Its primary benefit is a sophisticated lithium complex soap thickener that ensures superior stability and water resistance across a wide range of temperatures; however, users should note that its specialized formulation is intended for heavy-duty mechanical applications rather than light, low-friction household chores.

FAQs
Can I use this for high-speed bearings?
This grease is optimized for slow-to-medium speed applications. It is not recommended for high-speed, precision, or electric motor bearings.
Is this grease compatible with NLGI 2 standards?
Yes, Shell Gadus S3 V220C 2 is an NLGI 2 grade grease, which is the industry standard consistency for most multi-purpose applications.
How do I know if this is the right grease for my machine?
Check your equipment's service manual for the required NLGI grade and thickener type. This lithium complex grease is a standard for heavy-duty multi-purpose requirements.
Can this be used on plastic parts?
It is formulated for metal-to-metal contact. Compatibility with specific plastics should be verified as mineral oils can degrade certain types of polymers.
Does this product contain molybdenum disulfide?
No, this specific product (S3 V220C) is a lithium complex grease and does not contain solid additives like molybdenum disulfide.
Troubleshooting
Grease gun will not dispense lubricant
Check for an air lock inside the grease gun barrel; bleed the air valve or loosen the head slightly to release trapped air.
Grease is bleeding or separating
Ensure the product has not been stored in extreme heat or exposed to direct sunlight, which can compromise the thickener structure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use this 400g cartridge, insert it into a standard pneumatic or manual grease gun. Always ensure the grease gun plunger is retracted fully before inserting the new cartridge to avoid air pockets.
Compatibility Note: While this grease is compatible with many other lithium-based lubricants, it is recommended to purge the old grease completely if the previous product used a different thickener type (such as calcium or clay-based greases) to avoid chemical incompatibility issues. Store the cartridges in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the base oil and additives. Always wipe away excess grease from the exterior of fittings to minimize the accumulation of dust or debris.
