Synthetic Transmission Fluid


Spirax S6 GME 40 Synthetic transmission fluid is a specially formulated synthetic lubricant designed for extended drain intervals and severe service in heavy duty commercial vehicle transmissions which require a non-EP transmission lubricant. It is specially formulated to protect higher torque transmissions coupled with increased
horsepower engines. It is approved for use in Eaton transmissions such as Ultrashift Plus, Fuller Advantage, FR and RT Series transmissions.

Performance, Features & Benefits Spirax S6 GME 40 is uniquely formulated to provide up to 1.5 % fuel economy improvement while maintaining excellent shear stability compared to the prior generation Spirax S6 GME 50.

· Spirax S6 GME 40 provides high performance and extended drain capabilities in transmissions up to 500,000 miles in Eaton transmissions.

· Spirax S6 GME 40 has excellent thermal and oxidation stability which resists deposit and sludge formation.

· The advanced additive system in Spirax S6 GME 40 provides excellent protection from corrosion, foaming, rust, and wear.

· The use of high viscosity index synthetic base fluids allows Spirax S6 GME 40 to provide excellent high and low temperature performance and superior low temperature flow compared to the prior generation Spirax S6 GME 50.

· Spirax S6 GME 40 provides friction retention, friction durability, and excellent shear stability to help ensure and maintain smooth transmission operations throughout the extended drain interval.

· Spirax S6 GME 40 is formulated to help reduce sump operating temperatures.

 

Main Applications Spirax S6 GME 40 Synthetic transmission fluid is recommended where wear, low temperatures or heat present major problems and a non-EP lubricant is required. Typical usage includes transmissions, transfer cases, and wheel end hubs. Recommended commercial vehicle applications include line haul, vocational, off-road, pick-up and delivery, and buses.

Frequently asked questions

Find answers to common questions about our products and services
  • This fluid is formulated for heavy duty commercial vehicle transmissions where wear, low temperatures, or heat are major concerns and a non-EP lubricant is required. Recommended vehicle applications include line haul, vocational, off-road, pick-up and delivery, and buses. Beyond transmissions, it is also suited for transfer cases and wheel end hubs.

  • EP stands for extreme pressure. Certain heavy duty transmissions — including Eaton Ultrashift Plus, Fuller Advantage, FR, and RT Series — are specifically engineered to require a non-EP lubricant rather than an EP-type gear oil. Spirax S6 GME 40 is specially formulated to meet this non-EP requirement while still providing comprehensive protection from wear, corrosion, rust, and foaming.

  • Spirax S6 GME 40 provides up to 1.5% fuel economy improvement while maintaining excellent shear stability compared to the prior generation Spirax S6 GME 50. It also delivers superior low temperature flow, making it better suited for cold-weather operation.

  • This fluid is engineered for extended drain intervals and supports drain capabilities of up to 500,000 miles in Eaton transmissions. Its friction retention and shear stability are specifically designed to maintain smooth transmission operation throughout that extended interval.

  • Yes, typical usage for Spirax S6 GME 40 includes transmissions, transfer cases, and wheel end hubs — anywhere a non-EP lubricant is called for and where wear, low temperatures, or heat present major challenges.

  • Spirax S6 GME 40 features excellent thermal and oxidation stability to resist deposit and sludge formation, and is formulated to help reduce sump operating temperatures. Its advanced additive system provides protection from corrosion, foaming, rust, and wear, while the high viscosity index synthetic base fluids ensure strong performance across a wide temperature range.
