Spirax S4 CX 50 meets the demanding requirements of modern transmission, final drive, and oil immersed brakes fitted to heavy-duty off-highway equipment. It has 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 50 viscosity grade gives the best protection of heavily loaded components particularly in highly loaded final drive systems. 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. 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
    • Shell Spirax S4 CX 50 is designed for heavy-duty off-highway equipment and is specifically recommended for use in powershift transmissions, final drives, and oil-immersed brake systems. It is suitable for equipment from leading manufacturers including Caterpillar, Komatsu, and Komatsu-Dresser, as well as transmissions built by Eaton, Eaton Fuller, ZF, Dana, and Rockwell, among others.

    • The shear-stable SAE 50 viscosity grade is chosen to deliver the best protection for heavily loaded components, particularly in highly loaded final drive systems. This heavier viscosity helps maintain a robust oil film under the extreme pressure and load conditions typical of heavy-duty off-highway operation.

    • Shell Spirax S4 CX 50 is formulated to meet low-temperature viscosity and fluidity requirements, providing superior protection during start-up and throughout low operating temperature conditions. Its improved flow properties at low temperatures also contribute to enhanced overall system efficiency.

    • Yes, Shell Spirax S4 CX 50 delivers highly consistent and reliable friction performance with the advanced metallic and non-metallic materials found in modern systems. This compatibility helps ensure minimal clutch slippage, smooth and quiet brake operation, and trouble-free transmission operation.

    • Shell Spirax S4 CX 50 contains inhibitors specifically formulated to control oxidation and deposit formation, and it protects both ferrous and non-ferrous metals from corrosion. It also suppresses foaming and provides wide-ranging protection for critical components such as bronze friction discs in powershift transmissions and gears in final drives and differential units.

    • Shell Spirax S4 CX 50 is designed for equipment from manufacturers including Caterpillar, Komatsu, and Komatsu-Dresser, but for a full and current listing of equipment approvals and recommendations, you should consult your local Shell Technical Helpdesk or the OEM Approvals website. The Technical Data Sheet available for this product can also help confirm whether it meets the specifications required by your specific equipment.
