Premium, Synthetic Technology, Fuel Economy Manual Transmission and Gearbox Oil. Shell Spirax S6 GVME 75W-80 is a unique fuel-efficient, long-life gear oil designed to give the ultimate in performance and protection to meet the requirements of Volvo heavy duty gearboxes. Specially formulated fully synthetic base oils plus a unique new additive technology give improved lubrication and longer life for your equipment.
Applications
Automotive transmissionsSynchromesh gearboxes, including those with integrated retarders, and medium loaded axle drives where mineral or synthetic gear oils are required.
Performance & benefits
Low power loss - improved efficiencySpecial frictional properties and high fluidity combine to give lower power loss, lower operating temperature and higher mechanical efficiency. Long additive life and excellent viscosity control maintains performance over the oil’s lifetime and provides smooth shifting under all conditions.
Longer oil drain capabilityLong life additives ensure long-term protection of the gears and high oxidation resistance so providing extended drain capability.
Longer transmission lifeOutstanding pitting, scoring and wear protection. Excellent synchromesh compatibility - exceeds requirements of leading OEMs.
Less environmental pollutionReduced environmental damage and improved recyclability result from the significantly lower chlorine content. Markedly improved seal compatibility for increased protection against leaks.
