Manufacturer's description

High-performance transmission oil for off-road equipment. Shell Spirax S4 CX 10W is formulated to give operators trouble-free equipment operation and maximum reliability throughout its service life. Spirax S4 CX 10W meets the oil requirements for use in the modern transmissions, oil-immersed brakes and hydraulic systems fitted to heavy off-road equipment.

Applications

  • Shell Spirax S4 CX 10W is recommended for use in heavy off-road equipment produced by the world's leading manufacturers, including Caterpillar, Komatsu and Komatsu-Dresser, and in transmissions produced by Eaton, Eaton Fuller, ZF, Dana and Rockwell, in:

Performance & benefits

  • Frictional performance and material compatibilityConsistent, highly reliable performance when used with the metallic and non-metallic materials found in modern systems. Minimal clutch slip, smooth and quiet brake operation, and trouble-free transmission operation.
  • Anti-wear protectionThe shear stability of the SAE 10W viscosity grade, which contains no viscosity index improvers in its formulation, provides the best protection for heavily loaded components.
  • Low-temperature characteristicsThe product has been formulated to meet low-temperature viscosity and fluidity requirements, thereby providing superior component protection both at start-up and during operation at low temperatures.
  • Optimum mechanical performance and long service lifeThe product provides broad protection for critical components, such as the bronze friction discs in power transmissions and heavily loaded hydraulic pumps.
  • Vickers 35V25 test (hydraulic pump)The product achieved excellent performance in this test.
  • Oxidation stabilityContains inhibitors that control oxidation and deposit formation. Protects both ferrous and non-ferrous metals against corrosion. Suppresses foam formation. Has improved low-temperature flow properties that increase efficiency.
  • Suitable for applications requiring Allison C-4 type fluids
  • Shell Spirax S4 CX 10W is suitable* for use in many power shift or manual transmissions, wet brake systems, and many off-road hydraulic systems, including those from Komatsu and Caterpillar
