Shell Spirax GX
High performance long life gearbox oils
Spirax GX are long life gearbox oils designed to give new benefits based on improved levels of performance to meet the future requirements of gearboxes.
Specially optimised mineral base oils and new additive technology improve lubrication of the drive train and potentially extend oil drain intervals.
Applications
• Automotive transmissions
Synchromesh gearboxes and medium loaded axle drives.
Performance Features and Benefits
• Longer oil drain capability
Higher reserves of additives ensure long-term protection of the gears. Longer oil life as a result
of higher oxidation stability also improves oil drain intervals.
• Longer gear life
Clear improvement in protection against wear prevents premature failure. High oxidation resistance also prevents damaging deposit
formation in the gears.
• Greater efficiency
Ideal shear-stable formulations give improved flow properties and shiftability at low temperatures.
Optimised friction properties minimises power losses and wear, thereby also improving efficiency.
• Less environmental pollution
Reduced environmental damage and improved recyclability result from the significantly lower
chlorine content. Markedly improved seal compatibility for increased protection against leaks.
