Shell streamlines lubricant range

The range has been restructured to help customers select the right level of protection for their equipment.  

“Research into the way our customers choose and use lubricants revealed that they often find the array of choice confusing and complex,” said Trace Baker, general manager at Shell Lubricants. “Whilst recognising the importance of correct lubricant choice and application, they also welcomed changes that would make the process simpler. With this in mind, we have redesigned the Shell Lubricants range, removing products with overlapping applications, or whose technology had been replaced by more advanced formulas, whilst improving choice by selectively adding speciality and synthetic products.”  

The new range is accompanied by ‘old to new’ conversion tools and features new pack labels and product guides. It is based around different levels, each offering increasingly efficient levels of protection, including entry, mainline, premium and advanced. The sets of products include Shell Tellus (hydraulic oils), Shell Omala (gear oils), Shell Corena (compressor oils), Shell Gadus (a complete range of greases), Shell Tonna (slideway oils).
