The advanced Castrol TRANSMAX range features Smooth Drive Technology™ with active control molecules that automatically adjust their friction level with changing pressures and speed. This ensures the transmission is constantly served the right level of friction at any given moment – protecting the parts and delivering a smoother drive for longer. That’s why, 2 out of every 3 major vehicle manufacturers** choose Castrol transmission fluids as part of their factory fill.
Castrol TRANSMAX Manual VMX 80W is a manual transmission fluid designed to provide easier gear changes over a wide temperature range. It may be used in the manual transmissions of most car or light commercial vehicles requiring GL-4 performance and where improved low-temperature shifting is required.
It should be used in manual transmissions of most car and light commercial vehicles (LCV’s) requiring GL-4 performance, where improved low temperature shift performance is required.
Castrol TRANSMAX Manual Long Life 75W-85 is a full synthetic transmission fluid recommended for most commercial vehicle manual transmissions (truck, bus, light commercial vehicle) where API GL-4 lubricants are required. These transmissions are generally larger and subjected to higher loads and temperatures than those in passenger cars. TRANSMAX Manual Long Life 75W-85 was developed for these particular requirements and is approved by a number of manufacturers.
Castrol Transmax Manual FE 75W formulated with Smooth Drive Technology™ is a full synthetic transmission fluid recommended for most passenger car conventional manual and "dry clutch" transmissions where API GL-4 lubricants are required. Its superior technology enables longer transmission life. It is approved for use where Ford WSSM2C200-D2 is specified. Transmax Manual FE 75W’s low viscosity synthetic formulation offers the potential for fuel economy benefits while maintaining excellent wear protection.
Castrol TRANSMAX Universal 80W-90 is a multipurpose gear lubricant for use in both synchronised manual transmissions and final drives and differentials where either API GL-4 or API GL-5 are specified.
TRANSMAX Manual E Long Life 40 is a specially formulated synthetic lubricant designed for fuel efficiency, extended drain intervals and severe service in heavy duty commercial vehicle transmissions which require a non-EP transmission lubricant. It is specially formulated to protect higher torque transmissions coupled with increased horsepower engines. It is approved for use in Eaton transmissions such as Ultrashift Plus, Fuller Advantage, FR and RT Series transmissions.
