  • General gear setsAuxiliary gear sets and some industrial equipment.

Performance & benefits

  • Multiple applicationsA high-performance fluid for API GL-5 applications that may call for SAE 80W-90, 90 or 80W fluids. May be used in some SAE 75W-90 applications where low-temperature performance is not required.
  • Longer oil drain intervalThe high additive reserve provides long-lasting gear protection and high oxidation resistance, thereby offering extended oil drain intervals.
  • Longer transmission lifeExceptional protection against corrosion and wear.
  • Spirax S3 AX 80W-90 meets the Mercedes-Benz 235.0 requirements
