As trucks and buses become heavier and the need for durability increases, axle fluids are more and more critical for vehicle reliability. Getting the right oil for your vehicle is key to ensuring your rear axle operates as designed and gets the maximum protection under demanding conditions.
Castrol, with over 100 years of experience in developing axle fluids, and being the choice of many leading truck and transmissions manufacturers for factory-fill products, offers a range of axle and universal fluids for your vehicle requirements; providing you the peace of mind that you are getting the right oil for your vehicle and keeping your vehicle on the road longer.
Castrol AXLE EPX 80W-90
castrol AXLE EPX 80W-90
(REPLACES EPX 80W-90)
Multipurpose gearbox, steering gear and differential oil for passenger cars, light trucks, farm tractors and earthmoving equipment.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
Offers the benefits of multiplicity of applications across a wide range of automotive, heavy commercial, light commercial, 4WD’s and selected earthmoving equipment where premium mineral oil technology can be employed.
Provides high oil film and wear protection which ensures components are protected even under severe operating conditions and thus prolongs equipment life.
High quality, mineral oil based, multipurpose gear oil for use in most passenger car, light and heavy duty truck conventional differentials, final drives, non-synchronised manual transmissions, steering gears and other applications where API GL-5, API MT-1 or SAE J2360 performance is required.
It is not recommended for those manual transmission manufacturers who prefer non EP (Extreme Pressure) additive containing oils.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
Formulated to be particularly stable under high temperature operating conditions and resist degradation which can lead to deposits and reduced oil seal and overall equipment life
Provides high oil film and wear protection which ensures components are protected even under severe operating conditions and thus prolongs equipment life
Mineral based gear oil for use in limited differentials in cars and commercial vehicles where API GL-5 performance is required; also suitable for use in conventional differentials.
May be recommended for use in differentials, gear boxes, and steering gears of many cars, trucks, farm machinery, earthmoving and excavating machinery requiring a hypoid lubricant.
It is particularly recommended for conventional hypoid differentials where the differential is operating with very high loads.
The higher level of extreme pressure and limited slip additives give added wear protection in both conventional and limited slip hypoid differentials.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
Very good anti-wear and load carrying performance even under high load conditions prolongs component life.
High film strength – providing protection against wear.
Thermally stable additive chemistry – less sludge and cleaner gears.
A mineral-based gear oil which is suitable for use in limited slip differentials in cars and commercial vehicles where API GL-5 oils with specific limited slip friction performance is required; it can also be used in conventional differentials.
It is primarily recommended for use in the limited slip differentials for fitted to a wide range of Australian, American, Japanese, British and European vehicles. It is also recommended for certain tractor and construction equipment axles and final drives that use “wet brakes” and extreme pressure gear oils.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
Very good anti-wear and load carrying performance even under high load conditions prolongs component life.
High film strength – providing protection against wear.T
hermally stable additive chemistry – less sludge and cleaner gears.
Mineral based gear oil designed for use in axles and final drives operating under severe conditions and over a wide range of operating temperatures.
It is specifically approved for use in MB Actros, MAN, Scania and ZF axles and is also recommended for other applications where API GL-5 or SAE J2360 performance is required.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
Extended drain potential compared with conventional MB 235.0 fluids
Enhanced seal compatibility
Effective wear protection under severe load conditions, ensuring longer component life and allowing it to be used in the final drives of most vehicles in a wide range of operating temperatures
Synthetically fortified manual transmission and final drive lubricant. Suitable for use in highly loaded final drives and differentials of commercial vehicles in trucks, buses, vans and 4WD’s as well as synchronised manual transmissions requiring API GL-4 or GL-5.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
Significant extension in oil drain interval compared to standard API GL-5 SAE 85W-140 EP gear oils
Reduced operating temperatures and extending oil and component life in Rockwell-Meritor axles
Synthetically fortified for long drain performance and improved low temperature fluidity while maintaining high temperature viscosity
Excellent trouble shooting lubricant for problematic differentials operating in arduous conditions
SPECIFICATION/TECHNICAL DATA
SAE 80W-90
API GL-4, GL-5
ZF TE-ML 02 Page 02 for manual transmissions
ZF TE-ML 05 Page 02 for final drives without LSD’s
Fully synthetic rear axle oil for arduous service in rear axle (differential) and power dividers.
Recommended for use in Eaton and Rockwell rear axles operating where long oil drain periods and extended warranty conditions apply. Also recommended for use under severe conditions, particularly in B-double or road train applications.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
Thermally stable – provides protection at extremes of very low/high operating temperatures
Improved performance over conventional mineral API GL-5 85W-140 lubricants
Reduced wear, increased gear component life
Approved for extended warranty programmes for longer real axle drive life
Full synthetic multigrade final drive lubricant. It is Castrol’s prime recommendation for final drives in heavy commercial vehicles, and is approved by MAN, Scania and ZF. Specially designed and approved by BMW for use in all BMW final drives fitted with conventional (non limited slip) differentials. It is designed to provide superior protection at both high and low operating temperatures where conventional mineral oils prove unsatisfactory.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
Fuel savings and reduced emissions due balanced viscometrics and frictional characteristics.
Superior pumpability and protection of the complete differential at low temperatures.
Excellent thermal and oxidative stability provides final drive and differential cleanliness which permits extended drain and decreased servicing.
Optimal anti-wear, extreme pressure performance at all ambient temperatures and load conditions.
Excellent temperature reduction and shear stability enhance final drive performance and extends component life.
Full synthetic, multipurpose manual transmission and final drive lubricant.
Castrol Syntrax Universal Plus 75W-90 may be used in synchronized manual transmissions and final drives/differentials of a wide range of vehicles (commercial vehicle, construction equipment, passenger cars) where API GL-4 or GL-5 are required. The product also carries a number of European HD approvals.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
A single product for transmission and final drive.
Excellent low temperature fluidity provides improved cold shift quality in cold conditions and fuel efficiency.
Superior high temperature stability and excellent wear protection even in the most arduous conditions prolongs equipment life and allows for extended oil drain intervals.
Full compatibility with conventional mineral oils and seals allows this product to be used in a wide range of applications.
