Questions
Is Shell Morlina S2 BL 5 an ISO VG 5 oil?
Yes. The catalogue lists it as ISO VG 5, which is a kinematic viscosity of 5 cSt at 40 °C, plus or minus 10 percent (4.5 to 5.5 cSt). Confirm the current data sheet before you fill a machine.
What is a Shell Morlina S2 BL 5 equivalent?
No other brand in this catalogue clears the equivalents bar for this oil yet (same application, same grade, compatible base oil, and a score of 60 or more). That is not proof that nothing else works. Check the machine manual.
Can Shell Morlina S2 BL 5 be mixed with another oil?
Mixing two oils that share a base family is sometimes done and sometimes a mistake. Do not mix this oil with a PAG. For any other mix, follow the maker's change-over guidance and the machine manual.
