Purpose and Specifications

Shell Spirax S5 ATE 75W-90 is a premium synthetic transmission oil designed for heavily loaded transaxle systems in sports cars and high-performance passenger vehicles. This 20-liter pail (EAN 5011987188884) meets tough specs like API GL-4, GL-5, MT-1, and Mercedes-Benz MB 236.26, plus approvals from Ferrari and Getrag.

Advanced additives shield gears from wear and pitting, extend seal life to prevent leaks, and resist breakdown for longer equipment durability.
