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 approved for Eaton transmissions including Ultrashift Plus, Fuller Advantage, FR, and RT Series under the Eaton PS-386 specification (which replaces Eaton PS 164, Rev. 7). It also meets Con Met and Meritor Specification O-81 requirements. For a full listing of equipment approvals, consult your local Shell Technical Helpdesk.

  • EP stands for extreme pressure — some transmissions are specifically engineered to operate without EP additives, and using an EP-rated fluid in those units can cause damage to synchronizers or other internal components. This fluid is formulated as a non-EP lubricant, making it the correct choice for Eaton and similar heavy-duty commercial vehicle transmissions that explicitly require a non-EP product.

  • This fluid is designed for extended drain intervals, providing up to 500,000 miles of service life in Eaton transmissions. It achieves this through excellent thermal and oxidation stability that resists deposit and sludge formation, along with friction durability and shear stability maintained throughout the drain interval.

  • Beyond standard transmissions, this fluid is also suitable for transfer cases and wheel end hubs. Recommended commercial vehicle applications include line haul, vocational, off-road, pick-up and delivery, and bus operations.

  • Compared to the prior generation Spirax S6 GME 50, this fluid provides up to 1.5% fuel economy improvement, better shear stability, superior low-temperature flow, and improved high and low temperature performance overall — benefits attributed to its high viscosity index synthetic base fluids.

  • Yes, this fluid is specifically designed for severe service in heavy-duty commercial vehicle transmissions. Its high viscosity index synthetic base fluids deliver excellent performance across both high and low temperature extremes, and it is formulated to help reduce sump operating temperatures during demanding operation.
