Manufacturer's description

High-performance API GL-5 axle oil for Mercedes-Benz, MAN and ZF applications. Shell Spirax S3 AD 80W-90 is an extreme-pressure lubricant containing multifunctional additives that give it good anti-wear and anti-rust characteristics and oxidation stability. It is suitable for transmission applications presenting load-speed conditions of extreme severity, such as helical or spur gear drives at medium and low speeds, bevel gears and hypoid axle units, as well as offering extended oil drain capability.

Applications

  • Axles and differentialsA heavy duty SAE 80W-90 axle oil meeting the stringent Mercedes-Benz, MAN and ZF requirements for extended oil drain capability.

Performance & benefits

  • Extended oil drain intervalsLarger additive reserves provide long-term gear protection. Longer oil life, resulting from higher oxidation stability and lower operating temperatures, also leads to extended oil drain intervals.
  • Longer gear lifeOutstanding wear protection helps prevent premature failures. High oxidation resistance also prevents the formation of deposits inside axles.
  • Broad range of componentsSpecially selected additives provide good anti-wear protection, particularly under high-temperature conditions, oxidation stability, anti-rust characteristics and compatibility with yellow metals.
  • ZF TE-ML: 05A, 12L, 12M, 16B, 17B, 19B, 21A

Standards & approvals

  • Daimler Truck hypoid axle oil, extended level

    Daimler Truck's requirement for hypoid axle oil above the 12B100 level, for trucks and buses.Source

  • MAN 342 type M3 — synthetic axle oil

    Type M3 of the MAN 342 list: synthetic axle oils with extended drain intervals.

  • Gear oil, API GL-5 service level

    API's service designation for axle and manual transmission oils.

  • Gear oil, API MT-1 service level

    API's service designation for axle and manual transmission oils.

  • SAE J2360

    SAE J2360 — registered EP axle oil

    The standard that took over the MIL-PRF-2105E military specification. Unlike API GL-5 it requires product registration and axle rig testing, which makes it the harder level to hold.

  • Construction machinery axle oil (ZF class 05A)

    ZF's list of admitted lubricants for ZF axles for construction machinery; class 05A is the specific lubricant level a given unit in this family requires.Source
