Leroy Somer tell me that the MVA gearbox was originally filled with Shell Tivela A
Shell Tivela Compound A is a synthetic, semifluid gear lubricant. It was
developed in co-operation with major gear manufacturers to meet the demand
for high quality, long life gear lubricants.
Shell Tivela Compound A consists of a synthetic base oil blended with a
controlled quantity of highly stable lithium soap and special additives to give
outstanding lubrication performance According to the Shell website Tivela A has been replaced by shell gadus s5 v142w 00 which seems to have the same specification. These are both synthetic oils with lithium soap. Cheers Alan Elyse SM437 |
