Shell Spirax – Transmission Oils
Shell Spirax oils are designed to help keep your transmission components protected so that they can go on working efficiently.
Why do transmission oils matter for your fleet’s bottom line?
Engine oil may get the spotlight, but transmission oil does the heavy lifting behind the scenes. Protect your entire powertrain with Shell Spirax transmission oils, because what’s inside the gearbox and axle can make or break your uptime.Power you can count on. Protection you can trust.
Power you can count on. Protection you can trust.

Title: Shell Spirax synthetic transmission fluid demo
Duration: 3:16 minutes
Description:
Shell used a specially designed transparent gearbox to demonstrate that, within the same timeframe, for both cold starts and fully warmed up conditions. Shell Spirax S6 synthetic oil lubricates all the critical parts of the gearbox while the mineral based oil lubricates the gearbox much less evenly.

[Spoken word]
Shell used a specially designed transparent gearbox to directly see the impact of differentlubricants on gearbox performance.
[Spoken word]
To demonstrate the effects of low temperatures on oil performance we have blended one gear oil to have the viscosity of a synthetic Spirax S6 lubricant and the other to have the viscosity of a typical mineral based oil.
[Spoken word]
Slow motion video shows that the synthetic based oil evenly lubricates all the critical
parts of the gearbox in less than 1 second.
[Spoken word]
Using the same slow motion video technology clearly shows that the mineral based oil lubricates the gearbox much less evenly.
[Spoken word]
Even after 2 and a half seconds there are still parts of the gear-tooth which are not
covered by an oil film.
[Spoken word]
These parts will be subject to higher friction and wear compared to a well-lubricated gearbox.
[Spoken word]
Here we see how a Spirax synthetic oil performs at ambient temperature.
[Spoken word]
Under these conditions, both in slow motion and in real-time motion video we clearly see the very rapid lubrication of the complete gearbox and a relatively constant oil level.
[Spoken word]
This film clearly demonstrates that for best performance, for both cold starts and fully
warmed up conditions, choose Shell Spirax synthetic lubricants.
