Typical characteristics

Manufacturer's description

Superior-performance GL-5 synthetic axle oil for many premium applications. Shell Spirax S6 AXME 75W-90 is a long-life, fuel-efficient transmission and axle oil designed to deliver the best protection for the latest generation of high-output manual transmissions and axles. The special formulation based on synthetic oils, combined with additive technology unique to Shell, delivers superior driveline lubrication, lower operating temperatures and extended equipment life. Shell Spirax S6 AXME 75W-90 also offers extended oil drain capability, approved by some OEMs for their extended oil drain specifications.

Applications

• Transmissions and axlesThe oil is intended for heavily loaded axles and non-synchromesh transmissions for which GL-5/MT-1 mineral or synthetic oils are recommended.

Performance & benefits

• High efficiency and low fuel consumptionFriction properties tailored to the duty cycle result in low power loss and low operating temperature, helping to deliver high mechanical efficiency.
• Longer oil drain intervalsThe high-performance additives used have excellent resistance to oxidation and to low-temperature operation, providing protection and durability for gears and sealing elements and an extended oil service life.
• Longer equipment lifeExcellent protection against wear and corrosion helps prevent premature failures. Excellent oxidation resistance also prevents seal damage caused by deposit formation.
• Reduced lubricant usageExcellent static and dynamic seal compatibility, exceeding OEM requirements, helps minimise seal leaks. The extended drain intervals help maximise oil change intervals, leading to lower overall lubricant consumption over the equipment's service life.
• Recognised by the leading equipment manufacturersA number of major equipment manufacturers recognise the benefits of Spirax S6 AXME 75W-90 oil.
• ZF TE-ML 05A, 12L, 12N, 16F, 17B, 19C, 21A
• Meets the Iveco 18-1805 requirements for a longer drain interval

Standards & approvals

• 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.

• Volvo 97312

  Volvo 97312 — transmission oil

  The Volvo number for the oil in one of its own transmissions, used when ordering and in the service schedule.

• MAN 342 Typ S1

  MAN 342 Typ S1 — hypoid axle gear oil

  MAN's approval class S1 for hypoid gear oils in truck axle final drives.Source

• MAN 341 Typ GA2

  MAN 341 Typ GA2 — manual gearbox/axle gear oil

  MAN's approval class GA2 for gear oils in manual and automated-manual truck gearboxes and axle drives.

• Arvin Meritor 0-76-N

  Meritor O-76-N — axle lubricant

  The Meritor specification for axle lubricants in the O-76 series; the trailing letter gives the performance level and base oil, N being one of the synthetic extended-drain levels.

• Scania STO 2:0 G

  Scania STO 2:0 G — manual gearbox oil

  Scania Transmission Oil specification for its manual/automated-manual gearboxes ("G" = gearbox), distinct from the 2:0 A axle specification.Source

• Scania STO 2:0 A FS

  Scania STO 2:0 A FS — fuel-saving axle oil

  Scania's axle oil standard; the FS suffix marks the low-friction level that delivers fuel savings.

• Mack GO-J

  Mack GO-J — axle/hypoid gear oil

  Mack's specification for hypoid gear oils used in truck axles and heavily-loaded manual transmissions.Source

• API GL-5

  Gear oil, API GL-5 service level

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

• API MT-1

  Gear oil, API MT-1 service level

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

• 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.

• ZF TE-ML 05A

  Construction machinery axle oil (ZF class 05A)
