Featuring high film and shear strength, Shell Spirax S6 AXME 80W-140 is a fully synthetic, multipurpose gear lubricant formulated for API GL-G type heavy duty differentials. Ideal for fleets commonly operating in extreme weather, the Shell axle, 5 gallon, lubricant's synthetic formula provides maximum protection in a wide range of temperatures, and its low temperature properties provide oil fluidity, even at sub-zero conditions. The Shell Spirax Synthetic 80W-140 lubricant also separates easily from water and is compatible with other MIL-L-2105D or MIL- PRF-2105E lubricants. Synthetic formula provides maximum protection over a wide range of temperatures. Separates readily from water.

Outstanding thermal stability especially in applications where heat, wear and extended drain intervals contribute to severe service. High film strength and excellent shear stability. Excellent low temperature properties promote oil flow to help protect gears and bearings even at sub-zero temperatures. Synthetic formula provides maximum protection over a wide range of temperatures. Separates readily from water. Compatible with other MIL-L-2105D or MIL- PRF-2105E quality gear lubricants.

Shell Spirax S6 AXME 80W-140 is a fully synthetic, multipurpose, heavy-duty gear lubricant specifically designed for heavy duty differentials that call for an API GL-5 type

Main Applications Heavy duty differentials.
All applications normally lubricated by automotive gear oil such as rear wheel bearings, manual steering gears and universal joints calling for an SAE 80W-140 grade.
Transfer cases for automobiles, light and heavy-duty trucks, farm equipment and heavy construction equipment calling for SAE 80W-140 or 85W-140 grades.
Industrial gear applications where extreme pressure oils with excellent low and high temperature properties are required.
Differentials used in conjunction with Eaton and Meritor extended warranties calling for an SAE 80W-140 grade.
Manual transmissions where the manufacturer specifies a GL-5 oil of SAE 80W-140 or 85W-140 grades.

Frequently asked questions

Find answers to common questions about our products and services

  • This lubricant is designed primarily for heavy duty differentials but also covers rear wheel bearings, manual steering gears, universal joints, transfer cases, and manual transmissions across automobiles, light and heavy-duty trucks, farm equipment, and heavy construction equipment. It is also suitable for industrial gear applications that require extreme pressure oils with strong performance across a wide temperature range.

  • Yes. This oil is listed as suitable for transfer cases and manual transmissions calling for either SAE 80W-140 or SAE 85W-140 grades, making it a versatile option where either viscosity grade is acceptable per the manufacturer's recommendation.

  • The fully synthetic formula delivers excellent low temperature properties that maintain oil fluidity and promote flow to gears and bearings even at sub-zero conditions, providing protection during cold startups that is harder to achieve with conventional gear oils.

  • It is compatible with other gear lubricants meeting MIL-L-2105D or MIL-PRF-2105E quality standards, so residual fluid remaining in a system after a drain-and-fill is generally acceptable. For a full flush or changeover, draining as thoroughly as possible is always the best practice.

  • Yes. The synthetic formula is specifically noted for outstanding thermal stability in severe service conditions, including applications where heat, wear, and extended drain intervals are factors. It is also suitable for differentials used with Eaton and Meritor extended warranties that specify an SAE 80W-140 grade.

  • In differentials and gear systems, water can enter through vents, seals, or condensation. An oil that readily separates from water rather than emulsifying with it helps prevent the formation of sludge and corrosive mixtures that can degrade lubrication performance and accelerate wear on gear surfaces and bearings.

Key Features

  • Fully synthetic formula provides maximum protection across a wide temperature range, including sub-zero conditions where excellent low-temperature properties promote oil flow to protect gears and bearings.

  • High film strength and excellent shear stability deliver reliable performance in heavy-duty differentials and other demanding gear applications.

  • Outstanding thermal stability supports severe service conditions including heat, wear, and extended drain intervals.

  • Separates readily from water and is compatible with other MIL-L-2105D or MIL-PRF-2105E quality gear lubricants.

  • Meets API GL-5 and MT-1 classifications and carries numerous OEM approvals including ArvinMeritor O76-B/Q/R, Dana SHAES 429 Rev. A, Mack GO-J, SAE J2360, and US Military MIL-PRF-2105E.
