Typical characteristics

Manufacturer's description

Synthetic high quality axle oil. Shell Spirax S6 ADME 75W-90 is a fully synthetic axle oil designed to fulfil the latest Mercedes Benz and other heavy duty axle requirements.

Applications

• Heavy duty axlesIn particular those working under very heavy load and severe operation conditions as well as non synchronised transmissions where mineral and synthetic gear oils are recommended. This product is particularly designed to meet the latest Mercedes-Benz heavy duty transmission requirements and can be used where this manufacturer recommends an approved lubricant according to the Sheet DTFR 12B140.

Performance & benefits

• Longer oil drain potentialWorking temperature reduction behaviour ensures long- term protection of the gears and higher oxidation resistance so providing extended drain capability.
• Longer oil and equipment lifeExcellent protection against gear wear and pitting prevent premature failure. Excellent oxidation resistance and thermal stability extend components and lubricant life.
• High viscosity indexEnable minimum variation of oil viscosity with changes in ambient and operating temperatures.
