KLÜBER to Shell Open Gear Lubricant Cross-Reference Table
| KLÜBER Product | Equivalent Product | Compatibility & Notes |
| GRAFLOSCON A-G Ultra | Shell Gadus S3 OG | Semi-fluid adhesive grease with graphite. GRAFLOSCON uses synthetic base with graphite and MoS₂ solid lubricants. |
| GRAFLOSCON C-SG Ultra | Shell Gadus S3 OG | Synthetic sprayable grease. GRAFLOSCON C-SG Ultra has special solid lubricant package for highest demands. |
| Klüberfluid C-F 3 Ultra | Shell Gadus S3 OG | High-viscosity synthetic with MoS₂ and graphite. Klüberfluid C-F is solvent-free for automatic spray systems. |
| Klüberfluid D-F 1 Ultra | Shell Gadus S2 OG | Lower viscosity sprayable fluid for medium/small open gears. Verify coverage and adhesion requirements. |

⚠ Important Disclaimer
This cross-reference is provided for informational purposes only. Equivalent does not mean identical — differences in thickener type, base oil viscosity, additive packages, and NLGI grade can affect performance. Always verify technical compatibility by consulting both manufacturers' datasheets and obtaining OEM approval before substituting lubricants. Contact KOEED for verified KLÜBER product recommendations matched to your specific application requirements.
> Tip
When cross-referencing, always verify: (1) thickener compatibility — mixing incompatible thickeners can cause grease to soften or harden, (2) base oil viscosity at operating temperature, (3) NLGI grade for proper consistency, (4) certification status (NSF H1, ISO 21469) for food-grade applications. If in doubt, contact KOEED for a verified recommendation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I switch open gear lubricants without cleaning the gear?
It depends on product compatibility. Asphaltic (bitumen-based) open gear lubricants may not be compatible with synthetic products. Before switching from a Shell to KLÜBER open gear lubricant (or vice versa), inspect the gear condition and consult both manufacturers about product compatibility. In some cases, a thorough cleaning of the gear set is recommended before the product change.
