Shell Spirax - Axle and Transmission Oils Product Portfolio
"Dependability, Performance and Optimum Value for High-Demand Heavy Duty Applications”
The Shell Spirax range of axle, gear, and automatic transmission lubricants is engineered to help fleet owners and operators select optimal fluids for their vehicles. These products are formulated to deliver cost savings and boost productivity by providing superior wear protection, extended fluid life, and improved energy efficiency.
Given that every vehicle component is precisely engineered, it is essential to choose a lubricant specifically designed to safeguard equipment and maintain operational efficiency. Shell Spirax oils are developed to ensure transmission components remain well-protected, enabling them to perform reliably over time.
Shell Spirax is a product family of axle, gear and transmission oils formulated for heavy-duty and on-road/off-road driveline applications. The range includes mineral and synthetic technologies designed for long life, anti-wear/pitting protection, corrosion control, hypoid gear protection (GL-4/GL-5), and OEM-specific ATF approvals.
(To meet the challenges of a wide range of Axles, Gearboxes and Manual Transmissions, Heavy Duty Automatic Transmissions, Mining applications and Tractor Transmissions, Shell has designed a portfolio that enables you to choose a fluid to match your needs).

FEATURES:
-
Extreme-pressure (EP) and anti-wear protection (EP additives protect hypoid gears, bearings and splines from pitting, scuffing and micro-spalling under heavy shock loads)
(Meets API GL-4/GL-5, MT-1 for heavy-duty axle/transmission protection) -
Thermal / oxidation stability & extended oil life (Synthetic variants (S4, S6) have high thermal & oxidation stability → longer drain intervals, less varnish/sludge)
(Resistance to shear breakdown maintains viscosity over service life) -
Temperature range performance (Excellent low-temp fluidity ensures smooth gear engagement in cold starts)
(High-temp stability prevents oil film breakdown in long-haul and heavy-load conditions) -
Improved fuel efficiency (Low-friction synthetic base stocks reduce churning losses in axles & gearboxes → measurable fuel economy gains in fleet trials)
-
Optimised friction characteristics (ATF-specific) (Balanced friction modifiers for smooth shifting, clutch engagement, and elimination of shudder in automatic transmissions)
-
OEM-approved compatibility (Wide coverage of Allison TES-295/TES-668, ZF, Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, etc., reducing inventory complexity in mixed fleets)
