As vehicles are required to carry heavier loads and the need for durability increases, driveline fluids are more and more critical for vehicle reliability. Getting the right oil for your vehicle is key to ensuring your gearboxes and axles operate as they are designed to, and get the maximum protection under demanding conditions.
Castrol, with over 100 years of experience in developing gearbox oils and, being the choice of many leading vehicle and equipment manufacturers for factory-fill products, offers a range of gear oils for your vehicle’s requirements; providing you the peace of mind that you are getting the right oil for your vehicle and keeping your vehicle in operation longer.
As part of a global simplification program, Castrol’s entire driveline range is now unified under the Castrol TRANSMAX brand.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 Limited Slip 85W-140 is a mineral based gear oil that is suitable for use in limited slip differentials in cars and commercial vehicles where API GL-5 performance is required. It is also suitable for use in conventional differentials.
Castrol TRANSMAX Dynadrive Long Life 80W-90 is a part-synthetic SAE 80W-90 gear oil specifically developed to meet all the gear oil requirements for both manual transmissions and final drives. The unique additive system provides the extreme pressure protection needed in heavy-duty differentials, as well as the frictional properties required for smooth shifting synchromesh manual transmissions.
The excellent viscosity/temperature characteristics of Castrol TRANSMAX Dynadrive Long Life 80W-90 overcome gear change baulking at low temperatures, whilst the outstanding thermal stability of the semi-synthetic base oil minimises deposit formation and allows oil drain intervals to be extended when appropriate.
Castrol Transmax Universal 85W-140 is a multipurpose gear lubricant developed for use in synchronised manual transmissions, final drives and differentials where API GL-5 is specified.
Castrol TRANSMAX Manual Heavy Duty 75W-90 is a full synthetic manual transmission lubricant developed for use in synchronised and non-synchronised transmissions in long haul trucks, b-double road trains and other heavy-duty applications. TRANSMAX Manual Heavy Duty 75W-90 is approved against Volvo's most demanding Heavy Duty Manual Transmission specification, enabling extended oil drain intervals (400,000 kms) in severe duty manual and automated manual (i-Shift) transmission applications. It is also suitable for use in manual transmissions of cars or light commercial vehicles where GL-4 oils are recommended.
Castrol Syntrax E 80W-140 is a full synthetic rear axle fluid designed for use in Eaton and Rockwell, Dana and Meritor rear axle drives where long drain periods and extended warranty conditions apply.
Castrol TRANSMAX Axle Long Life 75W-90, formulated with Smooth Drive Technology™ , is a full synthetic rear axle fluid. It provides superior protection, especially when driving under stop-start or extreme conditions e.g. towing. This enables smoother axle operation and noise reduction, resulting in a more comfortable drive throughout the lifetime of the vehicle.
Specially designed and approved by BMW for use in all BMW final drives fitted with conventional (non limited slip) differentials. TRANSMAX AXLE LONG LIFE 75W-90 is Castrol's prime recommendation for final drives in heavy commercial vehicles, and is approved by MAN and ZF.
Castrol TRANSMAX Universal LL 75W-90 formulated with Smooth Drive Technology™ is a full synthetic multipurpose manual transmission and final drive lubricant. It may be used in synchronised manual transmissions and final drives/differentials of a wide range of vehicles (commercial vehicle, construction equipment) where API GL-4 or API GL-5 fluids are required. It carries a number of OEM approvals.
For synchronized manual transmissions and final drives/differentials of a wide range of vehicles (commercial vehicles, construction equipment, passenger cars) where API GL-4 or GL-5 are required.
Premium synthetic universal powershift and automatic transmission fluid. Extends oil change guidelines for Allison transmissions to 160,000 km/48 months for general duty and, 80,000km/24 months for severe duty. Product sold exclusively through Allison Transmission Distributor Network, i.e. Heavy Automatics, MTU Detroit Diesel &Transdiesel in Australia.
Castrol TRANSMAX Offroad 10W is designed for use in powershift transmissions, direct drive transmissions, wet disc brakes, final drives and differentials in off road machinery where Caterpillar TO-4 is required. It is approved against ZF TE ML 03C and is recommended for use in Komatsu off road machinery drivetrain and hydraulics.
Castrol TRANSMAX OFFROAD 30 is designed for use in powershift transmissions, direct drive transmissions, wet disc brakes, final drives and differentials in off road machinery where Caterpillar TO-4 is required.
