Typical characteristics

Manufacturer's description

Premium synthetic technology manual transmission and gear oil for fuel economy. Shell Spirax S6 GXME 75W-80 is a long-life, fuel-efficient transmission oil designed to deliver high performance and protection to meet the requirements of current and future heavy duty gearboxes. The special formulation based on synthetic base oils, combined with Shell's unique additive technology, gives transmissions superior lubrication and a long service life.

Applications

• Automotive transmissionsLubrication of synchromesh gearboxes, including those fitted with retarders, and of medium-loaded differentials for which mineral or synthetic oils are recommended.

Performance & benefits

• Reduced power loss – improved efficiencyThe special frictional properties and high fluidity combine to deliver reduced power loss, lower operating temperatures and higher mechanical efficiency. The long additive life and excellent viscosity control maintain the oil's performance level throughout its service life and ensure easy gear changes under all operating conditions.
• Extended oil drain intervalsThe long additive life ensures long-term transmission protection and excellent oxidation resistance, thereby providing extended oil change intervals.
• Longer transmission lifeThe oil provides excellent protection against wear and pitting. Excellent compatibility with synchromesh gearboxes — exceeds the specifications of the leading OEMs.
• Low environmental pollutionReduced environmental damage and improved recyclability are the result of the significantly reduced chlorine content. Proven compatibility with seals prevents oil leaks into the environment, thereby reducing pollution.
• Recognised by the leading equipment manufacturersA number of equipment manufacturers recognise the benefits of synthetic lubricants and are currently evaluating Spirax S6 GXME 75W-80.
• Shell synthetic lubricantsUse together with other Shell synthetic lubricants for maximum benefit.
