Manufacturer's description

High-performance API GL-5 axle oil for Mercedes-Benz, MAN and ZF applications. Shell Spirax S3 AD 80W-90 is an extreme-pressure lubricant containing multifunctional additives that give it good anti-wear and anti-rust characteristics and oxidation stability. It is suitable for transmission applications presenting load-speed conditions of extreme severity, such as helical or spur gear drives at medium and low speeds, bevel gears and hypoid axle units, as well as offering extended oil drain capability.

Applications

• Axles and differentialsA heavy duty SAE 80W-90 axle oil meeting the stringent Mercedes-Benz, MAN and ZF requirements for extended oil drain capability.

Performance & benefits

• Extended oil drain intervalsLarger additive reserves provide long-term gear protection. Longer oil life, resulting from higher oxidation stability and lower operating temperatures, also leads to extended oil drain intervals.
• Longer gear lifeOutstanding wear protection helps prevent premature failures. High oxidation resistance also prevents the formation of deposits inside axles.
• Broad range of componentsSpecially selected additives provide good anti-wear protection, particularly under high-temperature conditions, oxidation stability, anti-rust characteristics and compatibility with yellow metals.
• ZF TE-ML: 05A, 12L, 12M, 16B, 17B, 19B, 21A
