Key specs
| Spec | Value | Method |
|---|---|---|
| KV40 | 68 cSt | ASTM D445 |
| KV100 | 10.5 cSt | ASTM D445 |
| Viscosity index | 142 | ASTM D2270 |
| Pour point | -30 °C | ASTM D97 |
| Flash point | 225 °C | ASTM D92 |
| Density at 15 °C | 0.877 g/cm³ | typical |
Grade checks
- KV40 is inside ISO VG 68 (61.2–74.8 cSt).
- Computed viscosity index is 142, within 2 points of the listed 142.
Viscosity and temperature
ASTM D341 (Walther) fitted to the published KV40 and KV100. It is an interpolation between those two points, and it is not meaningful below the pour point. Move the control to read a temperature.
Classification
- Category: Hydraulic
- Attribute: Anti-Wear
- Synthetic: Conventional

Questions
Is Shell Tellus S2 V 68 an ISO VG 68 oil?
Yes. The catalogue lists it as ISO VG 68, which is a kinematic viscosity of 68 cSt at 40 °C, plus or minus 10 percent (61.2 to 74.8 cSt). Confirm the current data sheet before you fill a machine.
What is a Shell Tellus S2 V 68 equivalent?
Published oils in the same application and grade include Castrol Dual Range HV 68, Mobil Univis 68, Chevron Rando HDZ 68. The match is from typical data-sheet values, not from an OEM approval. It is not an exact equivalent. Confirm the substitute with the machine builder.
Can Shell Tellus S2 V 68 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.
