Castrol TRANSMAX with Smooth Drive Technology™ has been designed to offer smoother driving enabling longer transmission life.
Castrol TRANSMAX with Smooth Drive Technology™ has 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.
During a typical 10 mile city journey to and from work, on average, a vehicle makes 88,000 gear changes and 18,000 stop-starts each year, placing huge demands on the transmission and transmission fluids. Under these conditions, ordinary transmission fluids can simply wear out, leading to shudder, gear stiffness, axle whining and ultimately, damaged parts.
To respond to these demanding conditions we have designed Castrol TRANSMAX with Smooth Drive Technology™. It has 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.
1 TRANSMAX ATF variants with Smooth Drive Technology™ and TRANSMAX CVT vs reference oil, based on LVFA industry standard test. For TRANSMAX CVT only: Applies to CVTs with Start-Up Clutch. TRANSMAX DUAL vs a genuine oil competitor fluid, based on GK1 friction tests per OEM specification.
2TRANSMAX MANUAL Multivehicle 75W-90, TRANSMAX MANUAL FE 75W, TRANSMAX MANUAL V 75W-80 vs a major competitor mineral API GL-4 SAE 80W-90 gear oil, based on tests run on a 6-speed gear box at -20oC in an independent lab.
3 TRANSMAX AXLE LONG LIFE 75W-90 vs a commercial competitor mineral API GL-5 SAE 80W-90 oil, in Castrol in-house axle shock test.
Castrol TRANSMAX with Smooth Drive Technology™ delivers enhanced protection to all moving parts of the transmission and smoother gear changes, enabling longer transmission life.
