Typical characteristics

Manufacturer's description

High performance, GL-4/5 Universal Gear Oil for MAN, ZF, MACK and Scania. Shell Spirax S3 AM 80W-90 is a true universal driveline oil designed for use in modern heavy duty axles and gearboxes offering the convenience of one transmission oil for the whole driveline. Specially optimised mineral base oils and new additive technology improve lubrication of the drive train and potentially extend oil drain intervals. For e.g. MAN, ZF, MACK and Scania.

Applications

• HD automotive transmissions and axlesHeavily loaded axle drives, synchronised and non- synchronised heavy duty gearboxes.
• Universal driveline applicationsShell Spirax S3 AM 80W-90 has been developed to exceed the latest API oil specifications making it suitable for application in a wide range of heavy duty and passenger car applications.

Performance & benefits

• Universal gear oil formulationThe special formulation of Spirax S3 AM 80W-90 offers the convenience of one oil for both gearbox and axle application.
• Longer oil drain capabilityThe advanced additive system in Spirax S3 AM 80W-90 has been recognised as being capable of extended oil drain intervals.
• Longer gear lifeClear improvements in protection against wear helps prevent premature failures. High oxidation resistance also prevents damaging deposit formation in gearboxes & axles.
• Low Chlorine formulationShell Spirax S3 AM 80W-90 uses a modern low chlorine formulation resulting in improved recyclability.

• MIL-PRF-2105E

  MIL-PRF-2105E — EP gear and axle oil

  The revised issue of the US military EP gear oil specification, which added seal compatibility requirements. Superseded by SAE J2360.

  Gear oil, API GL-4 service level

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

• API GL-5

  Gear oil, API GL-5 service level
