coverage
Viscosity @-40 C0
mPa s ASTM D2983 12000
These characteristics are typical of current production. Whilst future production will conform to Shell's specification, variations in
these characteristics may occur.
Shell Spirax S5 ATF X is suitable in many Kia, pre-2003 VW/Audi, Mazda, Subaru, Suzuki, Isuzu, Hyundai, Daewoo
transmissions where a DEXRON/MERCON/MERCON V fluid is allowed.
Application Exceptions
1) Shell Spirax S5 ATF X should not be used where Type F fluids are recommended; check application manual if the vehicle is one
of the following: Datsun/Nissan pre 1971, Lincoln pre 1978, Ford/Mercury pre 1981, Toyota pre 1983, Volvo pre 1985, Mazda
pre 1986, Saab pre 1993.
2) Shell Spirax S5 ATF X should not be used in Continuous Variable Transmissions (CVTs) or Double Clutch Transmissions (DCTs).
3) Shell Spirax S5 ATF X does not meet the low viscosity requirements of 2006 and later GM vehicles requiring DEXRON-VI,
Ford applications requiring Ford MERCON LV or Mercon SP, Shell 1375.4, Toyota WS, Hyundai SP-IV or SPH-IVRR, Nissan
Matic-S, Honda ATF DW-1, Chrysler ZF 8 and 9 speed ATF, other ZF 8 and 9-speed ATFs (in a number of European cars), newer
Daimler transmissions (ATF 134 or later MB Approval 236.12, 236.14, 236.15 or 236.16) and other specialty transmissions
where a low viscosity ATF is recommended.
Where applications allow use of an alternate fluid of a higher viscosity (example Nissan Matic-J when Nissan Matic-S is not
available) to one of the above fluid specifications, Pennzoil PlatinumTM High Mileage & Import MV ATF is an excellent
recommendation.
Shell Spirax S5 ATF X is unlikely to present any significant health or safety hazard when properly used in the recommended
application and good standards of personal hygiene are maintained.
Avoid contact with skin. Use impervious gloves with used oil. After skin contact, wash immediately with soap and water.
