Urgent Request

I am in France and we have a request, does anyone know the part number or specification for Tellus oil?. We need some urgently and cannot find a stockist for Tellus oil as such despite asking many stockists.

Re: Urgent Request

Type in "Shell Tellus 23" on your search engine. First response should be the shell industrial lubes site, there's a PDF file to download (Acrobat) which has everything you need.

My bus number (if any): RM531

Re: Urgent Request

Hi Steve
Maybe its a French location thing, but we tried google.com and got nowhere, I also tried Google.co.uk and that does not produce a list of stockists either, can you post a link? What do you or others use? Can you still get Tellus 23, some Shell lists do not include it like this one "Fluide Hydraulique Nouvelle Génération, ISO-L-HM, Grades: 22.32.46.68.100."

My bus number (if any): RTL 960, RML 2667, RM 1585, RMC 1458 and 14 RTs

Re: Urgent Request

Tried that Steve, its a PDf no links and doesn't even mention Tellus 23. It seems that Shell do not have a big presence in France and so its hard to find any Tellus products, however with three RMs now we need to find a suitable hydraulic fluid, or get it from the UK, Anyone know any stockists?

Re: Urgent Request

Having some luck with a bit of research and found out that Shell Tellus 23 is now called Tellus 22 which explians why Tellus 23 cannot be found. An equivelent is Morris Liquidmatic 3. Now to find some stockists in France!!

Re: Urgent Request

Hi Brian - you probably already know there is a contact page for Morris's @ http://www.morrislubricants.co.uk/

My bus number (if any): RML2302

Re: Urgent Request

Thanks Brian , but we are really looking for a French based supplier I don't think Morris sell in France, finding Shell was hard enough.

We have now got the details of the main Shell supplier in France and another RM owner has offered to get us some if we need it. Thanks for all the help and suggestions.
