Typical characteristics

Manufacturer's description

High-performance GL-5 axle differential oil for general applications. Shell Spirax S3 AX 80W-90 is a high-performance API GL-5 gear and axle oil for moderately or heavily loaded applications and for off-road applications requiring an SAE 80W-90 oil.

Applications

• Automotive differentialsAutomotive gearboxes, differentials and hypoid gears for motorcycles, passenger cars, commercial vehicles, off-road construction vehicles and agricultural equipment.
• General gear setsAuxiliary gear sets and some industrial equipment.

Performance & benefits

• Multiple applicationsA high-performance fluid for API GL-5 applications that may call for SAE 80W-90, 90 or 80W fluids. May be used in some SAE 75W-90 applications where low-temperature performance is not required.
• Longer oil drain intervalThe high additive reserve provides long-lasting gear protection and high oxidation resistance, thereby offering extended oil drain intervals.
• Longer transmission lifeExceptional protection against corrosion and wear.
• Spirax S3 AX 80W-90 meets the Mercedes-Benz 235.0 requirements
