Manufacturer's description

High performance, GL-4/5 Universal Gear Oil for MAN, ZF, MACK and Scania. Shell Spirax S3 AM 80W-90 is a true universal driveline oil designed for use in modern heavy duty axles and gearboxes offering the convenience of one transmission oil for the whole driveline. Specially optimised mineral base oils and new additive technology improve lubrication of the drive train and potentially extend oil drain intervals. For e.g. MAN, ZF, MACK and Scania.

Applications

  • HD automotive transmissions and axlesHeavily loaded axle drives, synchronised and non- synchronised heavy duty gearboxes.
  • Universal driveline applicationsShell Spirax S3 AM 80W-90 has been developed to exceed the latest API oil specifications making it suitable for application in a wide range of heavy duty and passenger car applications.

Performance & benefits

  • Universal gear oil formulationThe special formulation of Spirax S3 AM 80W-90 offers the convenience of one oil for both gearbox and axle application.
  • Longer oil drain capabilityThe advanced additive system in Spirax S3 AM 80W-90 has been recognised as being capable of extended oil drain intervals.
