Application:

Shell Spirax S6 TXME is the latest generation of universal tractor transmission oil (UTTO), formulated using Shell’s XHVI synthetic base fluids and next-gen additive technology. It is suitable for use in transmissions, hydraulics, power take-off systems, and oil-immersed brakes in modern agricultural tractors and off-road vehicles, especially those operating under sustained high-temperature and heavy-duty conditions. Formerly known as Shell Donax TDS, this product delivers superior performance across a wide range of equipment.

Performance Features & Benefits:

  • Superior Brake Noise Suppression: Friction-modified formula reduces wet brake noise without compromising braking or clutch capacity, improving operator comfort.
  • Uncompromised Hardware Protection: Advanced anti-wear and EP additives protect vital hydraulic and transmission components from wear and seizure.
  • Enhanced Oxidation and Thermal Stability: Synthetic formulation resists oxidation, sludge, and varnish buildup, even at sustained high fluid temperatures.
  • Longer Equipment Life & Reduced Downtime: Robust filterability and corrosion protection contribute to prolonged component reliability and extended oil change intervals.
  • Multi-functional Application: Consolidates lubrication requirements into one product for transmissions, hydraulics, wet brakes, and PTOs.

Main Application Areas:

  • Agricultural tractors requiring UTTOs
  • Off-road and construction machinery with shared hydraulic/transmission systems
  • Equipment exposed to high load and high heat operations
  • Systems with sintered bronze or graphitic brake linings requiring low brake noise
