Shell Tellus S2 MX 100 vs Shell Tellus S2 MX 22 — what is the difference?

Updated: 2026-08-12 · Gemlik Energy

Both products sit in the Hydraulic & Turbine Oils group and are regularly considered as alternatives to one another. The difference is mostly the viscosity grade, and therefore the load and speed profile of the equipment they suit.

Property	Shell Tellus S2 MX 100 / Shell Tellus S2 MX 22
Brand	Shell Marine / Shell Marine
Sub-category	Hydraulic & Turbine Oils
Viscosity grade	ISO VG 100 / ISO VG 22
Reference price	923 USD / 923 USD
Sales unit	per 100 L

Which one to choose

The viscosity window stated by the equipment builder decides. If both products fall inside it, favour the higher grade for high load and high ambient temperature, and the lower grade where cold starting and low friction matter more.

Where it is used

In a hydraulic system the oil is the power transmission itself: pump efficiency, valve response and system cleanliness follow directly from its viscosity and filterability. On vessels the typical applications are deck cranes, steering gear and hatch systems.

For turbine oils the priorities are oxidation stability, water separation and foam control. Those properties decide service life and bearing safety.
