Product Info - Shell Donax Oil

PRODUCT LINE

Shell Donax TX is a premium performance, semi-synthetic heavy-duty universal power shift and automatic transmission fluid approved and licensed for use in Allison transmissions. Field-testing has shown its capability of extended drain service even in severe operating conditions, rivaling the leading synthetic heavy-duty automatic transmission fluid.

PERFORMANCE BENEFITS

· Excellent thermal and oxidation stability: Donax TX resists formation of deposits to ensure longer fluid life and better fluid performance under arduous conditions

· High viscosity index: Donax TX incorporates latest synthetic-blend base oil technology, which provides superior high and low temperature performance. The physical characteristics provided by the additive technology and semi-synthetic base oils allows for extremely low temperature fluidity, further protecting the transmission components from premature wear under extreme operating conditions.

· Excellent shear stability, corrosion and foaming resistance: Donax TX retains its fluid characteristics even under high loads and shear conditions. The excellent wear protection, shear stability and frictional characteristics of the additive technology provides outstanding oil performance allowing the equipment operator to extend oil drain intervals while maximizing the life of the transmission.

· Compatible with most other automotive transmission fluids and seals: When changing to Donax TX Shell recommends that transmission system is appropriately drained and flushed in order to obtain all of the performance benefits that changing to this fluid will provide. Donax TX is, however, compatible with most other transmission fluids and seals.

· One fluid for year-round use in all geographic locations

· Oil Drain Interval Potential: This technology allows extended oil drain intervals up to 50,000 miles for severe service and 100,000 miles for regular service, and should be accompanied by an appropriate oil analysis program. Oil analysis should be conducted every 15,000 mile interval beyond the standard recommended drain interval.

· Shift Comfort and Maintenance Costs

The combination of these features and benefits translates into smooth shifting comfort, and lower maintenance costs due to extended drain intervals and longer transmission component life.
