TO KEEPING THE LIGHTS ON
SHELL TURBO MAKES IT POSSIBLE
Power companies are under immense pressure to

keep the lights on. As a result, modern turbine oils
must be able to cope with increased stress and
considerable design and operational challenges.
Although selecting an underperforming lubricant
rarely results in immediate failures, it can lead to
long-term increases in maintenance costs and heavy
power-outage penalties. In contrast, adopting a total-
cost-of-ownership1 approach with a high-performing
lubricant from the Shell Turbo range can help to
reduce costs by unlocking reliable efficiency. Ask
us how we can work with you to make it possible.

Total cost of ownership is defined by Shell Lubricants as
the total amount spent on industrial equipment, including the
cost of acquisition and operation over its entire working life
and the cost of lost production during equipment downtime.
