Manufacturer's description

High-performance GL-5 axle oil for Scania and ZF. Shell Spirax S3 AS 80W-140 is designed for use in a wide range of automotive axle units subjected to arduous conditions. The use of high-performance additive systems and selected base oils allows extended oil drain intervals in some applications. In addition, Spirax S3 AS 80W-140 can also be used in heavy duty non-synchromesh gearboxes and in certain heavy duty synchromesh gearboxes where API GL-5 or MT-1 oils are specified.

Applications

• Automotive transmissionsShell Spirax S3 AS 80W-140 is suitable for most modern heavy duty axles using hypoid gears and offers extended oil drain intervals on certain equipment. Shell Spirax S3 AS 80W-140 is also recognised by certain manufacturers* as suitable for heavy duty manual gearboxes. S3 AS 80W-140 can be used for other automotive transmission units operating under high-speed/shock-load, high-speed/low-torque and low-speed/high-torque conditions. *Caution: As with other lubricants meeting API GL-5, do not use in manual transmissions where GL-4 oils are specified.
