Through VanTran’s collaboration with Shell Lubricant Solutions, we deliver superior reliability and performance with Shell Diala S4 ZX-IG — insulating fluid based on advanced Shell gas-to-liquids (GTL) technology. Engineered for excellent low-temperature viscosity, this oil ensures efficient heat transfer inside transformers, even in extreme cold conditions. Compared to traditional naphthenic oils, Shell Diala S4 ZX-IG offers enhanced thermal stability that slows the aging of both oil and insulating paper, extending transformer life. Trust VanTran and Shell to help protect your transformers and maintain optimal performance in all conditions.

VanTran, in collaboration with Shell Lubricant Solutions, is redefining transformer performance. Shell Diala S4 ZX-IG, derived from purified natural gas, features a consistent iso-paraffinic molecular structure for reliable performance—unlike naphthenic oils, which can vary by source and refining method. Its superior gas-absorbing properties make it ideal for high dielectric stress environments where safe operation is critical. Trust VanTran and Shell to deliver performance and protection when it matters most.

A huge thank you to Shepherd's Heart in for all that you do for our Waco community!

VanTran has supported Shepherd's Heart in its mission to eliminate food insecurity in the Waco Area, and has helped feed hundreds of children during the summer months for the Hunger Heroes Challenge. Last week, we were recognized by Shepherd's Heart for our efforts to support the community for the 3rd consecutive year! Thanks to all who donated this year to help feed over 120,000 families in the Waco area!

Shepherd’s Heart provided food for close to 100,000 families last year, and this year they’re looking to surpass that — one of their main priorities is making sure children are fed during the summer.
