Shell Spirax S4 CX 30 is a High Performance Off-Highway Transmission and Hydraulic Oil used for Many Applications Spirax S4 CX meets the demanding requirements of modern transmission, final drive, oil immersed brake and hydraulic systems fitted to heavy-duty off-highway. Highly consistent and reliable friction performance when used with the advanced metallic and non-metallic materials found in modern systems. Minimal clutch slippage, smooth and quiet brake operation, and trouble-free transmission operation. Contains inhibitors to control oxidation and deposit formation. Protects both ferrous and non-ferrous metals from corrosion. Suppresses foaming with improved flow properties at low temperatures enhances efficiency.

Frictional performance and material compatibility Highly consistent and reliable friction performance when used with the advanced metallic and non-metallic materials found in modern systems. Minimal clutch slippage, smooth and quiet brake operation, and trouble-free transmission operation. Anti-wear protection The shear-stable SAE 30 viscosity grade is free from viscosity index (VI) improvers and thickeners and give the best protection of heavily loaded components. Low temperature characteristics Formulated to meet low temperature viscosity and fluidity requirements, providing superior protection during start-up and low operating temperature conditions. Optimum mechanical performance and long oil life Wide-ranging protection for critical components, such as bronze friction discs in powershift transmissions and gears in final drives and differential units. Vickers 35V25 hydraulic pump test Excellent performance in this demanding test. Oxidation stability Contains inhibitors to control oxidation and deposit formation. Protects both ferrous and non-ferrous metals from corrosion. Suppresses foaming with improved flow properties at low temperatures enhances efficiency.

Frequently asked questions

Find answers to common questions about our products and services
  • This oil is designed for powershift transmissions, final drives, oil immersed brakes, and hydraulic systems on heavy-duty off-highway equipment. It is recommended for equipment from manufacturers including Caterpillar, Komatsu, and Komatsu-Dresser, as well as transmissions manufactured by Eaton, Eaton Fuller, ZF, Dana, and Rockwell, among others.

  • The SAE 30 viscosity grade used in this oil is shear-stable and free from viscosity index (VI) improvers and thickeners, meaning it maintains consistent viscosity under heavy mechanical stress. This delivers the best protection for heavily loaded components such as bronze friction discs in powershift transmissions and gears in final drives and differential units.

  • Yes, Shell Spirax S4 CX 30 meets the Caterpillar Tractor TO-4 specification and the ZF TE-ML 03C and 07F specifications. It is also suitable for use in applications where Allison C-4 type fluids are required.

  • Yes, Shell Spirax S4 CX 30 is formulated to handle powershift transmissions, final drives, oil immersed brakes, and hydraulic systems — including Komatsu hydraulic systems — making it suitable as a multi-system fluid on compatible heavy-duty off-highway equipment.

  • Shell Spirax S4 CX 30 is formulated to meet low-temperature viscosity and fluidity requirements, providing superior protection during start-up and at low operating temperatures. It also suppresses foaming and delivers improved flow properties at low temperatures to enhance overall efficiency.

  • This oil contains inhibitors that control oxidation and deposit formation, and it protects both ferrous and non-ferrous metals from corrosion. It also delivers highly consistent and reliable friction performance with minimal clutch slippage and smooth, quiet brake operation, while demonstrating excellent results in the demanding Vickers 35V25 hydraulic pump test.
