Shell Spirax

The Shell Spirax range of axle, gear and automatic transmission fluids has been developed to assist drivers, fleet owners and owner operators to select the oil that will deliver optimum value to their operations through enhanced wear protection, long oil life and efficiency.

Why Shell Spirax?

Proven wear protection

Protecting axles and gears from wear can help to reduce maintenance costs, extend vehicle life and maximise your return on investment. The Shell Spirax range of axle and gear oils offers proven protection, including the latest synthetic oils that deliver exceptional wear, pitting, bearing-failure and corrosion protection for heavy-duty axles, transmissions and gears operating under highly stressed conditions. This can help to reduce your costs.

Longer oil and component life

The longer an oil goes on protecting its components, the less maintenance your vehicle requires, so it can continue to operate without interruption, which can help reduce your maintenance costs. The Shell Spirax range contains oils that are designed to offer you value through exceptional oil life and protection that enable oil drain intervals and component life to be extended. For example, in industry-standard oxidation tests, Shell Spirax S6 AXME axle oil remains in specification after four times the normal duration of the test, which means that it can go on protecting your vehicle components.

Efficiency

Shell Spirax oils are designed to keep your transmission components protected so that they go on working efficiently. For instance, Shell Spirax S6 AXME and Shell Spirax S6 GME have special frictional properties and high fluidity that reduce power loss, lower the operating temperature and offer higher mechanical efficiency. These properties can help to deliver fuel efficiency and savings.
