Application:

Shell Spirax S3 TLV is a specially friction-modified universal tractor transmission oil (UTTO) formulated for use in agricultural tractors and off-road machinery. It is designed for combined use in transmission, differential, hydraulic, and oil-immersed brake systems as well as power take-off (PTO) mechanisms. Formerly known as Shell Donax TD Low Viscosity, this SAE 5W-20 oil is ideal for applications requiring smooth brake performance and reliable multi-functional lubrication.

Performance Features & Benefits:

  • Quiet, Smooth Brake Operation: Friction-modified additives reduce noise and enhance braking smoothness, especially in wet brake systems with sintered bronze or graphitic linings.
  • Reliable Multi-Function Lubrication: Ensures dependable performance in transmissions, differentials, hydraulics, and PTO units.
  • Wide Equipment Compatibility: Suitable for use in tractors and mobile equipment using a common fluid system.
  • Temperature Resilience: Performs well across a broad range of operating temperatures including cold starts.
  • High-Quality Additive System: Utilizes proven additives widely used in agricultural equipment for robustness and longevity.

Main Application Areas:

  • Agricultural tractors and implements with combined transmission and hydraulic systems
  • Off-road machinery requiring low-viscosity UTTO fluids
  • Mobile equipment with Sundstrand hydrostatic transmissions
  • Caterpillar powershift transmissions requiring TO-2 fluid
  • Mobile and industrial hydraulic systems working across wide temperature ranges

Specifications & Approvals:

  • API GL-4
  • John Deere JDM J20D
  • Massey Ferguson M1141
  • DANA-OHTM-UTTO-LV 20B-0002
  • ZF: 03F
  • Obsolete (USA): Caterpillar TO-2, Massey Ferguson M1135, Case New Holland MS-1204, MS-1206, MS-1207, MS-1209, MS-1210

Usage Instructions:

  • Ensure compatibility with manufacturer specifications before use.
  • Consult application lists or Shell representatives for specific vehicle recommendations.
