Shell Greases specified in workshop manual - list of modern Shell equivalents

Having finally got a garage I was looking to get the relevant greases to hand for working on my S2R 1000.

The workshop manual (WSM A2-page 6) lists various (mostly Shell) greases for different servicing tasks, but googling soon makes clear the various grease names given in the manual are obsolete.

Cue some research of what to get and in case useful to anyone else, here’s my findings.

Short version, this what I got:

1. SHELL GADUS S2 V100 2 [GREASE A]
2. SHELL GADUS S2 V220AD 2 [GREASE B]*
3. SHELL GADUS S3 V220C 2 [GREASE C]
4. SHELL GADUS S2 V220AC 2 [GREASE D]*

*The last number (“2”) relates to consistency of the grease and there can be different consistency options for the same grease. For the greases with “*” ( B and D) I could not find info on what consistency to get so went with “2” as was specified for grease A and C.

Longer version

What WSM says and what current equivalent is:

Grease A SHELL Alvania R3 Multipurpose, medium fibre, lithium grease. [NOW OBSOLETE RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT IS SHELL GADUS S2 V100 2]

Grease B SHELL Retinax HDX2 Molybdenum disulphide grease, high mechanical stress and high temperature resistant. NOW OBSOLETE RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT IS SHELL GADUS S2 V220AD] MAYBE CASTROL MS Can be used?

Grease C SHELL Retinax LX2 Bearing/joint grease for parts subject to prolonged mechanical stress. Temperature range: -10 to 110°C. [NOW OBSOLETE RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT IS SHELL GADUS S3 V220C 2]

Grease D SHELL Retinax HD2 Protective grease, with anti-corrosive and waterproofing properties [NOW OBSOLETE RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT IS SHELL GADUS S2 V220AC]

Not got these yet as no immediate need:

Grease E PANKL - PLB 05 [STILL EXISTS I THINK]

Grease F OPTIMOL PASTE WHITE T. [THIS IS A HIGH PERFORMANCE WHITE ASSEMBLY PASTE. CASTROL VERSION CHANGED NAME FROM THIS TO “Molub-Alloy Paste White T”]
