Radicool NF
Description
Castrol Radicool NF is an antifreeze concentrate formulated using monoethylene glycol and selected additives,
free from nitrite, amine and phosphate inhibitors. It uses hybrid technology for the modern performance engines
of cars and trucks.
This coolant should be used at concentrations of between 33% and 50% dilution with purified water to give
optimum corrosion protection and freezing protection between -18°C and -36 °C
Application
Castrol Radicool NF has been developed to meet the growing demand from engine and vehicle manufacturers
for a higher performance coolant that minimises environmental impact. It provides excellent protection against
corrosion, and because it contains no phosphate, the problems of deposits in some modern performance
engines are eliminated. In addition to providing excellent corrosion and low temperature protection, the use of
the recommended level of antifreeze will significantly reduce the likelihood of wet cylinder liner pitting due to
“cavitation erosion”. Cavitation erosion is caused by the implosion of air bubbles present in the coolant and which
are attracted to the liner outer surface. These bubbles implode, resulting in the removal of minute amounts of liner
material - this, if allowed to continue unchecked, will result in liner porosity and severe engine damage.
• Protects for up to 3 years.
• Excellent low temperature protection.
• Provides excellent protection against corrosion.
• Efficient lubrication of water pumps.
• Compatible with conventional seal and hose materials used in engine cooling systems.
• Contains bittering agent.
• Has many OEM approvals.
• Also recommended against the following specifications: BMW N 600 69.0, Opel/Vauxhall B040 0240, Volvo
1286083 Issue 002, Jenbacher TA-NR1000-0201.
In the majority of cases, coolants are not compatible and should not be mixed with other coolants unless directed
by the equipment manufacturer. If using Castrol Radicool NF for the first time, ensure that the cooling system has
been adequately flushed with clean water.

Radicool SF
Description
Castrol Radicool SF mixed with the appropriate amount of water is used as a heat transferring liquid in combustion
engines. The heat of the internal combustion is transferred to the radiator where the mixture is cooled by means of
airflow. Castrol Radicool SF provides maintenance free freezing and corrosion protection throughout the life of the
engine or vehicle. Using silicate free aliphatic acid technology, Castrol Radicool SF provides long life
corrosion protection for aluminium and ferrous alloys. The synergistic combination of mono and di-carboxylic acids
has been proved to provide superior protection for up to 700 000 km on-road, or as long as 8 000 hours off-road.
Application
• Castrol Radicool SF provides long-life frost and corrosion protection. To ensure good corrosion protection it
is recommended to use at least 33% volume of Castrol Radicool SF in the coolant solution. This provides frost
protection to -20°C. Concentrations higher than 70% volume are not recommended.
• Castrol Radicool SF may be used with confidence in engines manufactured from cast iron, aluminium or
combinations of the two metals, and in cooling systems made of aluminium or copper alloys.
• Castrol Radicool SF is particularly recommended for advanced engines, where high temperature aluminium
protection is important.
Advantages
• Castrol Radicool SF provides long life corrosion protection through the use of optimised organic corrosion
inhibitors against all forms of corrosion. Excellent and lasting high temperature corrosion protection is
provided for the aluminium heat transfer surfaces found in modern engines. Castrol Radicool SF offers excellent
cavitation protection without nitrite.
• The carboxylic acids found in Castrol Radicool SF form a single layer of protective molecules and compared with
the traditional silicate layers this provides a much more efficient heat transfer.
• The inhibitors contained in Castrol Radicool SF have very low depletion rates unlike the traditional nitrite and
silicate technologies. Castrol Radicool SF provides protection against localised corrosion and cylinder liner
cavitation without the use of supplement coolant additives. Extended coolant life, often for the life of the engine
or vehicle is obtained through the use of virtually non-depleting corrosion inhibitor.
• The outstanding corrosion protection and the low depletion of the inhibitors result in less refilling and lower
maintenance costs. Fleet tests have demonstrated that the average pump life increased by 50%.
• Traditionally, coolant formulations have included silicates for high temperature corrosion protection of
aluminium heat transfer surfaces. However, silicates can cause stability problems and are subject to rapid
depletion in service and are therefore not readily acceptable for inclusion in fill-for-life cooling systems.
Because of the nature of the inhibitors, Castrol Radicool SF demonstrates outstanding stability, even in the
most demanding circumstances.
Antifreeze
Radicool SF
• Castrol Radicool SF is a modern engine coolant concentrate based on ethylene glycol. A 50% solution of Castrol
Radicool SF will give frost protection to -40°C.
• Castrol Radicool SF minimises coolant boiling by increasing the boiling point and providing extra protection
during hot summer periods or during severe vehicle operation, such as mountain driving or caravan towing.
• Castrol Radicool SF is compatible with other coolants based on ethylene glycol. Exclusive use of the product is
recommended for optimum corrosion protection and sludge control.
• Castrol Radicool SF provides excellent seal compatibility. The coolant has no adverse effects on rubber hoses
and gasket materials.
• Free of silicates, Castrol Radicool SF satisfies all major standards and requirements of the major European car
and truck manufacturers.
Castrol Radicool SF is based on non-toxic inhibitors and is fully biodegradable. The extended life of the product
contributes to the protection of the environment.

Radicool SF Premix
Description
Castrol Radicool SF Premix is premixed with the appropriate amount of water and is ready for use as a heat
transferring liquid in combustion engines. The heat of the internal combustion is transferred to the radiator where
the mixture is cooled by means of airflow. Castrol Radicool SF Premix provides maintenance free freezing and
corrosion protection throughout the life of the engine or vehicle. Using silicate free aliphatic acid technology,
Castrol Radicool SF Premix provides long life corrosion protection for aluminium and ferrous alloys. The
synergistic combination of mono and di-carboxylic acids has been proved to provide superior protection for up to
700 000 km on-road, or as long as 8 000 hours off-road.
Application
• Castrol Radicool SF Premix is a premixed antifreeze and does not require further dilution with water – product
is designed as “ready to use”.
• Castrol Radicool SF Premix provides long-life frost and corrosion protection.
• Castrol Radicool SF Premix may be used with confidence in engines manufactured from cast iron, aluminium or

React SRF Racing
Description
Castrol React SRF Racing is a high performance brake fluid of special value in competitive motor sport where
extreme braking conditions are encountered. It is an exclusive Castrol product registered under patents in many
countries. Castrol React SRF Racing exceeds US Federal Standards FMVSS 116 DOT 3 and DOT 4, ISO 4925, JIS
K2233 and current SAE J 1703 specifications.
Application
Castrol React SRF Racing has an exceptionally high dry boiling point ( typically 320°C ) making it ideal for use
under arduous braking conditions such as racing or rallying.
Castrol React SRF Racing has a very high vapour lock point (the more important measure of high temperature
performance under actual braking conditions), and has the additional advantage of sustaining high vapour lock
point characteristics during its service life.
In order to achieve the optimum benefits in such applications, advanced materials have been employed in a unique
and patented Castrol formulation. The properties of this formulation are such that in order to derive maximum
benefit the use of Castrol React SRF Racing should be restricted to not more than eighteen months before draining
and refilling.
Castrol React SRF Racing is suitable for all disc and drum brake systems with the exception of those for which
mineral oil is prescribed. It is miscible with all conventional fluids meeting US Federal Standards FMVSS 116 DOT
3 and DOT 4, ISO 4925 and current SAE J 1703 and J1704. However, mixing with conventional brake fluids will
merely reduce the higher quality of Castrol React SRF Racing and therefore recommended that conventional brake
fluids be drained from the system before flushing and re refilling.
It is recommended that this fluid is changed every 18 months to maintain it’s exceptionally high vapour lock
performance.

Fluid
Description
Castrol React DOT4 Low Temp is a high performing synthetic brake fluid based on glycol ethers and borate esters.
It is suitable for use in modern braking systems incorporating electronic stability control systems. It’s excellent
low temperature viscosity characteristics help ensure smooth and controlled brake operation particularly in
extreme conditions.
Application
Castrol React DOT4 Low Temp brake fluid not only exhibits excellent high temperature performance but is also
formulated to provide improved low temperature perfomance. It has been specially designed to have lower
viscosity at low temperatures, recommended by a number of vehicle manufacturers to assist with the speed and
control of their electronic stability control systems (ESP and ABS).
Hydraulic pressure generated in the brake system is used to apply the wheel brakes. Higher viscosity fluid results
in slower pressure transmission and slower brake application. This new lower viscosity type fluid will therefore
result in faster brake response times providing increased safety in icy conditions.
Castrol React DOT4 Low Temp brake fluid meets the new ISO 4925 Class 6 specification recommend by many
vehicle manufacturers including VW, BMW and GM Europe.
Castrol React DOT4 Low Temp is fully compatible with other fluids meeting FMVSS 116 DOT 3, DOT 4 and DOT 5.1.
However, in order to maintain the superior performance characteristics of this fluid, avoid mixing with other brake
fluid products.
All conventional brake fluids deteriorate during use. It is strongly recommended that Castrol React DOT4 Low
Temp should be changed according to the vehicle manufacturers advice. In the absence of such advice, a 2 year
change period is recommended.
Conditions of Use
Castrol React DOT4 Low Temp brake fluid should not be used in braking systems for which a mineral oil based fluid
is recommended (for example, some Citroen systems, for which Castrol LHM is suitable and Rolls Royce systems,

Description
Castrol Brake Fluid DOT 4 is a high boiling synthetic brake fluid which far exceeds the requirements of the
SAE J1703,SAE J1704, FMVSS 116 DOT 4, ISO 4925 and JIS K2233 specifications.
Castrol Brake Fluid DOT 4 is designed for use in brake systems particularly those which are exposed to extreme
conditions.
Application
This product has been formulated from mixed polyalkylene glycol ethers and borate esters together with other
high performance additives and inhibitors which give ultimate system protection against the effects of corrosion
and high temperature vapour lock.
The formulation has been developed such that the vapour lock point can be sustained at a higher level than
conventional glycol ether based fluids during the service life of the product.
Castrol Brake Fluid DOT 4 is fully compatible with other fluids meeting FMVSS 116 DOT 3 and DOT 4 however, in
order to maintain the superior performance characteristics of Castrol Brake Fluid DOT 4, avoid mixing with other
brake fluid products.
All conventional brake fluids deteriorate during use. It is strongly recommended that Castrol Brake Fluid DOT 4
should be changed according to the vehicle manufacturers advice. In the absence of such advice, a 2 year change
period is recommended.
As with all brake fluids which contain glycol ethers, care should be taken to avoid spilling this product on
paintwork as it may have a damaging effect. In case of spillage rinse the affected area with water immediately . Do
not wipe.
Conditions of Use
Castrol Brake Fluid DOT 4 should not be used in braking systems for which a mineral oil based fluid is
recommended (for example some Citroen systems for which Castrol LHM+ is suitable and Rolls Royce vehicles for
which Castrol CHSMO Plus is approved.)

LMX Grease
Description
This is a multi-purpose high performance grease, based on mineral oil and thickened with lithium-complex soap. It
is formulated to provide excellent high-temperature lubrication performance. It possesses EP (extreme- pressure)
load-carrying properties, and contains additives selected to enhance resistance to oxidation, corrosion and wear.
Application
• Castrol LMX is formulated for use in grease-lubricated plain or rolling bearings operating at temperatures from
–30 °C to 150 °C (continuous rating).
• It may also be used for short periods at temperatures of up to 180 °C in bearings designed to operate under
such conditions. In such cases, the frequency of re-lubrication should be increased, operators should contact
equipment manufacturers for guidance.
• Examples of applications include automotive wheel bearings, all types of general industrial machinery,
electric motors and machine tools, as well as applications involving higher temperatures such as are found in
papermaking machinery and oven fans.
• In addition, its good EP characteristics and low slumpability are advantageous in bearings involving both
high loaded applications and vibratory conditions, such as in steel mills, railway axle-boxes and construction
equipment.
• High Drop Point and excellent stability at high operating temperatures make this a good alternative to claythickened high-temperature greases, the long service-life potential of Castrol LMX at temperatures over 100
°C makes it ideally suited to machines in which poor accessibility makes frequent re-lubrication difficult, whilst
the longer permissible lubrication intervals maintenance costs.
• Multi-purpose application in both industrial and automotive fields.
• High Drop Point and high operating-temperature capability.
• Long life relative to conventional lithium grease.
• Excellent EP and anti-wear properties.
• Low oil-separation characteristics.
• Excellent corrosion resistance.
• Very good pumpability for this grade of grease, especially at low temperatures.

Perfecto HT 5
Description
Castrol Perfecto HT 5 is a heat transfer oil based upon highly refined mineral oil, selected for its high thermal
stability, resistance to oxidation and low volatility.
Application
Castrol Perfect HT 5 is primarily intended for use in enclosed and sealed systems where oxidation of the oil cannot
take place as contact with air has been prevented. In such systems maximum bulk temperatures of 300 ºC (film
temperatures up to 320°C) are permissible. Systems are normally designed so that the only contact between
the oil and air is an header tank where the oil is relatively cool and the area of the exposed oil surface is limited.
Although the inherent oxidation stability of this oil is high, it should be realised that the working life of the oil
depends to a considerable extent on the effectiveness of the measures taken to exclude air. In open baths the oil
will oxidise rapidly at temperatures much in excess of 100 ºC.
Castrol Perfect HT 5 is a low viscosity oil for high velocity circulating systems - high flow rates allow high heat rates.
• Before commissioning the plant, the system should be pressure tested for leaks and then thoroughly flushed
with Perfecto HT 5. Water should never be used. Having been flushed and drained, the system should be filled
with fresh Perfecto HT 5. Filling is complete when the oil level in the expansion chamber is at 30-45% of the
level expected at operating temperature.
• All air must be completely evacuated from the system before the temeperature is raised to operation level.
• Since mineral oils expand when heated, an expansion chamber must be incorporated in the system. This is the
only location where the oil is llikely to be in contact with the atmosphere.
• Despite the excellent oxidation stability of Perfecto HT5, various precautions must be taken to minimize
exposure to air, especially if the temperatures of the fluid in the expansion chamber exceed 50 deg C.
• A floating cover can be used, or the oil can be blanketed with inert gas.
NOTE: The terms ‘Flash and Fire’ in the typical characteristics table are purely technical names covering specific
tests: they are not directly to any hazard from spontaneous combustionor explosion. In a heat transfer system it is
quite normal for the oil temeprature to be higher than its flash and fire paint
• Inherent oxidation resistance.
• Improved oil life.
Excellent heat-transfer properties and consistently high heat-transfer perfomance.
Ease of circulation even when a system is started from cold.
Extended and troubled free service due to excellent oxidation resistance

Aircol PG 185
Description
Aircol PG 185 is a high performance synthetic gas compressor oil based on poly-alkylene glycol, for the lubrication
of compressor handling hydrocarbon chemical gases.
The lubricant contains oxidation and corrosion inhibitors, providing excellent thermal and oxidation stability,
together with the necessary corrosion protection for the compressor.
Applications
Aircol PG 185 has good lubricity characteristics and a very high viscosity index which benefits high temperature
operations. It is for use in the working sumps of both rotary and reciprocating compressors where the lubricant
is in continuous contact with the gas being compressed. If mineral oils were used in these applications, the gas
would dissolve and cause a drastic reduction in oil viscosity, which could in turn lead to compressor failure.
Hydrocarbon gases dissolve to a much lesser extent in Aircol PG 185 ensuring longer working life and adequate
lubrication performance.
Aircol PG 185 may be used with a wide range of gases, including:
• Liquified natural gases such as methane and ethane.
• Liquified petroleum gases such as propane and butane.
• Hydrocarbon chemical gases such as ethylene, propylene and butylene.
• Chemical gases such as ammonia, vinyl chloride and butadiene.
Aircol PG 185 has low solvency properties with the hydrocarbon and chemical gases, which can enter the
crankcases of gas compressors, consequently avoiding a significant fall in viscosity and lubricant performance.
Being totally synthetic, this product does not suffer the tendency of mineral oils to break down or polymerise to
form gums, resins and carbon. It has a high viscosity index which benefit extreme temperature operations.
Finally, Aircol PG 185 can be employed in the widest range of LPG, LNG hydrocarbon and chemical gases including
Butadiene, Methane, Ethane and Propane.

compressors, as defined by ISO 6743.
Normal duty is described as:
• discharge temperatures =/< 165°C
• differential pressures =/< 2.5 MPa (25 bar)
• discharge pressures =/< 7.0 MPa (70 bar)
Severe Duty is described as:
• discharge temperatures > 165°C
• differential pressures > 2.5 MPa (25 bar)
• discharge pressures > 7.0 MPa (70 bar)
Aircol PD compressor oils exhibit low carbon forming tendencies and meet the requirements of the DIN 51506
VD-l classification for reciprocating compressors having air discharge temperatures up to 220°C.
Selection of the required viscosty grade should be based upon the compressor manufacturers’ recommendation
however as a general guide Aircol PD 32 and 46 are suitable for oil flooded rotary compressors, whereas Airool PD
68 and 100 would be seIected for lubricating the crankcase and cylinders of reciprocating compressors Aircol PD

Cresta SHS
Description
Cresta™ SHS range of lubricants can be divided into two separate compound divisions: pure mineral oils and
compound type oils. Pure mineral oils are prepared from selected base cylinder stocks to achieve the desirable
characteristics of high flash point, oxidation stability and good demulsibility . Compounded type oils contain a
percentage of compounding which imparts added lubricity and allows emulsification to take place with condensed
water from the use of wet steam.
Applications
Cresta™ SHS pure mineral oils are designed for steam engine cylinder and valve lubrication and are suitable for
heavily loaded slow moving bearings and gears, where a demulsifiable oil is required. Cresta™ SHS compounded
oils have been designed for the lubrication of steam engine cylinders where condensed water from wet steam
may be present. However, they must not be used for the lubrication of high-speed, totally enclosed steam engines
where contamination of the crankcase lubricant may occur and severely reduce demulsibility.
Advantages
• Higher profitability.
• The products may operate in high temperature applications due to the high quality base stock.
• Extended oil life due to the oxidation stability of the mineral oil range.
• The emulsifiers in the compounded type oils provide excellent lubricity in wet steam cylinders.
• The demulsibility characteristics in the pure mineral oil allows for outstanding lubrication.
• High temperature application.
• The pure mineral oils exhibit a high flash point, oxidation stability and excellent demulsibility.
• The compounded oils have exceptional emulsification characteristics.

The Castrol Carelube™ HES hydraulic oil range are based on carefully selected synthetic esters, which are highly
biodegradable and recommended for use in situations where leakage or spillage may present a risk of harm to the
environment.
Applications
The Carelube HES range is used as a hydraulic oil for applications in environmentally sensitive areas such as; near
or on waterways, and in the agriculture, forestry, mining and construction industries.
The range may also be used for machine tool hydraulic systems where ester based soluble cutting fluids are being
utilised and minimisation of impact of contamination is required.
Carelube HES range is miscible with conventional mineral oil-based hydraulic fluids and products based on natural
esters but, in order to maximise the performance benefits of these products - both physically and environmentally,
either through draining or flushing to minimise residues of other lubricants is recommended.
This range is fully compatible with the elastomer materials commonly used for static and dynamic seals, such as
nitrile, silicone and fluorinated (e.g. Viton) polymers.
Advantages
• Inherently biodegradable so ideally suited for minimising the impact to the environment should leakage occur
(note: local legislation/regulations regarding the clean up of oil leakage/spills should always be followed).
• Environmentally friendly with low aquatic toxicity – rated WGK 1.
• Very high viscosity index gives reliable operation and consistent response across wide temperature ranges.
Maximum component protection at cold start-up and at elevated temperatures.
• Excellent anti-wear performance and lubricity maximises component life and ensures system reliability.
• Seal, diaphragm and hose material compatibility similar to that of mineral oil, allowing easy changeover without
component modification.

Anvol WG 46
Description
Castrol Anvol WG is a range of fire resistant fluids, consisting of blends of water, glycol and polymeric lubricity
together with thickening agents and additives. These fluids offer corrosion protection and are true solutions,
which are therefore inherently stable.
Applications
The Castrol Anvol WG lubricants are high performance hydraulic fluids and circulating oils for use where potential
fire risks exists, for instance:
• in die casting machines;
• hydraulic forging presses;
• hydraulic systems on smelting furnaces; and
• hydraulic systems in mining applications.
General
Water can be lost from fluids by evaporation, especially where bulk fluid temperatures are high. This water must be
replaced to maintain the correct viscosity and optimum resistance.
In addition to water content, the pH of the fluid should be checked occasionally since this gives an indication of
he level of certain additives. This can be conveniently carried out by the use of universal pH indicator papers in
the absence of a suitable instrument. Fresh Castrol Anvol WG fluids are normally around 9.0 on a pH scale. This
will fall with use, and when below 8.0, a representative sample should be sent to the nearest Castrol laboratory for
examination.
Viscosity checks on Castrol Anvol WG fluids should initially be made every two to four weeks. Normally it is found
that water losses are negligible and subsequent checks can be made at less frequent intervals. Samples should be
taken from the full flow part of the system, such as the return of the reservoir. For adjustments to water content in
the fluid, please refer to your nearest Castrol Technical Department.
NOTE
• Refer to product data sheet for information on compatibility and changeover procedures to water glycol.
• Use only condensate distilled or de-ionized water for make-up.

Tribol 1100 Range
Description
Castrol Tribol™ 1100 gear oils with the TGOA (Tribol Gear Oil Additive) additive system represent a significant
advancement in gear oil technology. Developed for service in enclosed gear drives, journals, and antifriction
bearings, Tribol 1100 gear oils are typically used where heavy and shock load conditions prevail.
Tribol 1100 gear oils are manufactured from the highest quality petroleum base oils. Blended into this oil is the
latest development in the field of surface improving additives designated TGOA. TGOA is an oil soluble additive
package designed to reduce friction while providing surface protection and improvement. The TGOA additive
package offers superior performance because of its unique action on frictional surfaces.
The TGOA additive package is activated by high specific loads and corresponding temperatures causing a
chemicalphysical reaction. This results in an equalization of surface roughness without creating abrasion.
Therefore, surface roughness is reduced without the loss of surface material.
The results of the TGOA additives can be compared with a rolling process in the micro-range. The surface
roughness is gradually levelled and smoothed. Through smoothing of the working surfaces, the loads are
distributed over increasing areas and the actual load carrying area is enlarged.
If surface roughness peaks redevelop because of shock loads or stop-and-go operation, the TGOA additive
package is automatically reactivated. Surface roughness is again smoothed and lubrication optimized.
Tribol 1100 range has passed the Cincinnati Milacron Thermal Stability Test. This test evaluates copper and steel
corrosion and oxidation stability. Tribol 1100 gear oils are approved as P 74, P 59, and P 35 for the ISO 220, 320,
and 460 grades respectively. These oils exceed minimum requirements according to DIN 51517 Part. 3 for CLP
gear oils
Applications
Typical applications are spur, helical, herringbone, bevel, and planetary gears. They are also used in general
couplings and where fine filtration is required. Tribol 1100 gear oils may be used in antifriction and journal
bearings and applied by oil mist systems.
Tribol 1100 gear oils with the TGOA additive package are most effective when used from the initial fill of the
equipment. It has also proven to be effective in applications where surfaces have previously been damaged in
service.

Molub-Alloy® 860/220-2
Description
CASTROL MOLUB-ALLOY® 860/220-2 greases are designed to extend the service life of rolling and sliding
bearings subjected to heavy loads and to elevated temperatures. CASTROL MOLUB-ALLOY® 860 greases are
intended to provide a stable oil film for applications at lower speeds, higher loads, and/or higher temperatures
sustained for longer periods of time.
• CASTROL MOLUB-ALLOY® 860/220-2 greases feature a lithium-complex soap as thickener and a mineral paraffinbase oil.
• Corrosion inhibitors and anti-oxidant agents have been added to the base oil.
• EP additives and solid lubricants evenly distributed in the grease increase the load carrying capacity and wear
protection.
Applications
• CASTROL MOLUB-ALLOY® 860/220-2 greases are recommended for rolling and sliding bearings at high loads
and normal to elevated temperatures.
• They could be used at permanent temperatures up to + 140 °C
• Peak temperatures up to + 150 °C are possible. Lubrication intervals should be tuned carefully at high temperatures.
• CASTROL MOLUB-ALLOY® 860/220-2 greases are available in the NLGI grades 1 and 2 as well as with base oil
viscosities of ISO VG 220 and 460.
Advantages
• The lithium-complex soap guarantees an excellent worked penetration as well as a high dropping point.
• Reduced friction, due to the CASTROL MOLUB-ALLOY® solid lubricants, is most evident under boundary and
mixed friction conditions. This benefit is most pronounced where frequent start-up, slow speeds, or high and
unexpected loads are encountered.
• Overall savings are derived from the above and result from less labor and downtime, smoother, more efficient
operation with longer parts life, and extended lubrication intervals.

Molub-Alloy® 777-2 NG
Description
CASTROL MOLUB-ALLOY® 777-2 NG greases were designed for very heavy-duty service under severe ambient
conditions. They are blended and compounded to withstand shock loads as well as heavy loads, conditions
commonly found in the steel and construction industries, in mining and forestry.
• CASTROL MOLUB-ALLOY® 777-2 NG greases are made with a blend of high-viscosity mineral oils and polymers
which produce a tough lubricating film capable of withstanding shock loads and vibrations.
• The shear-stable thickener provides an excellent sealing effect against contamination from the atmosphere,
even if mechanical seals are damaged or missing (grease collar in the bearing).
• The lubricating greases contain solid lubricants whose structure is best suited for the rugged conditions in
heavy industry. The solids are treated to increase their natural affinity to metal surfaces
• Corrosion and oxidation inhibitors maximize the corrosion protection and aging stability of the base oil.
• 777 NG greases are free of antimony, lead, zinc and other heavy metals.
Applications
• Typical applications are in all types of rolling and sliding bearings, spindles, joint couplings (except for high-speed
precision couplings), running gears, cams and general grease lubricating points, especially where heavy loads
and low speeds prevail.
• CASTROL MOLUB-ALLOY® 777-2 NG greases are especially suited for the lubrication of heavy machines
e.g. forging presses or hauling machines. Due to the extremely stable lubricating film, supported by the solid
lubricant combination in the mixed friction area as well as the excellent sealing effect, a quantity reduction and
an improved lubricating condition ca be ensured.
Advantages
• Due to their good adhesion these greases provide an optimum sealing effect.
• The CASTROL MOLUB-ALLOY® solid lubricants achieve reduced friction in the boundary and mixed friction
areas. This is most evident during frequent start-ups, low speeds and/or high loads as well as shock loads.
• Overall savings are derived from the above which in turn result in less repair work and downtime, longer service
life of components and extended lubrication intervals.

Molub-Alloy® 936 SF Heavy
Description
CASTROL MOLUB-ALLOY® 936 SF HEAVY is a uniquely compounded open gear lubricant developed specifically
for use on heavy-duty equipment in mining and industrial service. It forms a tough lubricating film on the friction
surfaces which is resistant to pressure and shock loads as well as unfavorable ambient conditions.
The structural integrity and strength of the lubricating film is particularly valuable in the critical process of running
in new gears because of the natural occurrence of high spots (asperities) in newly machined surfaces. The
lubricating film must separate the mating surfaces sufficiently to cushion the effect of the impact of asperities,
and thus minimize initial pitting which could lead to progressive and destructive pitting later.
• A highly refined, viscous, paraffinic petroleum derivative is the foundation of a blended base fluid with excellent
natural chemical and thermal stability. CASTROL MOLUB-ALLOY® 936 SF HEAVY is compounded to flow readily
in the film-forming process, yet it resists “squeeze-out” and clings tenaciously even to gear teeth in vertical
orientation.
• A proprietary blend of CASTROL MOLUB-ALLOY® lubricating solids is included in particle sized suitable for open
gears to promote antiwear properties.
• Rust and oxidation inhibitors are included in the formulation to protect the equipment and the lubricating film
against the elements in severe climates.
Applications
• All types of open gears, rails and rollers, racks and pinions, dipper sticks and other slides an shovels and
draglines.
• CASTROL MOLUB-ALLOY® 936 SF HEAVY may be applied via automatic lubricating systems. With the adequate
equipment CASTROL MOLUB-ALLOY® 936 SF HEAVY can be pumped at temperatures down to 0 °C. In case no
automatic systems are available CASTROL MOLUB-ALLOY® 936 SF HEAVY can also be applied manually.
Advantages
• CASTROL MOLUB-ALLOY® 936 SF forms a tough, durable lubricating film with a “cushioning” effect, even
under extreme pressure and at very low speeds.
• Resistant lubricating film to resist weather in severe climates.
• Easy and economic application of an adhesive lubricating film via automatic dispensing equipment over a wide
temperature range.
• CASTROL MOLUB-ALLOY® 936 SF HEAVY was formulated as solvent-free lubricant and is also free of lead,
antimony and bariumCASTROL TRIBOL® 800 is classified according to API GL5 with regards to seizure.

Description
CASTROL MOLUB-ALLOY® 936 SF NG is a uniquely compounded open gear lubricant developed specifically for use
on heavy duty mining equipment. It is compounded to give maximum protection to gears and slides on draglines
and shovels minimising potential pollution to the environment.
Formulated to address environmental concerns, CASTROL MOLUB-ALLOY® 936 SF NG is free of lead, antimony,
barium and chlorinated solvents. No solvents of any kind are used.
• A highly refined, viscous, paraffinic petroleum derivative is the foundation of a blended base fluid with excellent
natural chemical and thermal stability. CASTROL MOLUB-ALLOY® 936 SF NG is compounded to flow readily in the
film-forming process, yet it resists “squeeze-out” and clings tenaciously to gear teeth even in vertical position.
• A proprietary blend of CASTROL MOLUB-ALLOY® lubricating solids is included to promote antiwear and
load carrying properties beyond those of conventional lubricants. The selected lubricating solids work
synergistically with chemical antiwear and EP additives, to reduce friction.
• Rust and oxidation inhibitors are included in the formulation to protect the equipment and the lubricating film
against the elements in severe climates.
Applications
• Mining applications include all types of open gears, rails and rollers, racks and pinions, dipper sticks, saddle
blocks and other slides on draglines and shovels.
Advantages
• CASTROL MOLUB-ALLOY® 936 SF NG is free of solvents and materials considered to be hazardous to the
environment
• CASTROL MOLUB-ALLOY® 936 SF forms a tough, durable lubricating film with a “cushioning” effect, even
under extreme pressure and at low speeds. The film resists erosion from rain or sleet and resists peeling in
dusty environment

Tribol® 800/680
Description
CASTROL TRIBOL® 800/680 gear oils were developed for application in highly loaded gears and bearings even
when subjected to high operating conditions.
They differ from mineral oil-based gear oils in the following characteristics:
• They feature an excellent oxidation stability (even at high temperatures).
• Outstanding viscosity-temperature stability and extremely high viscosity-index without using VI improvers .
• They are manufactured from high-quality polyglycol base oils.
Applications
• The excellent properties of CASTROL TRIBOL® 800/680 synthetic gear oils are especially evident in the
lubrication of mechanically and/or thermally highly loaded friction surfaces.
• They are especially suited for service in highly loaded enclosed gear drives (spur, helical, bevel and worm gears),
the lubrication of rolling and sliding bearings in paper machines, PVC calanders, kneaders, extruders and mills.
• Temperature Range: Sustained oil reservoir temperatures up to +140 °C / 285 °F, with short-time exposure to
peak temperatures up to 200 °C / 390 °F.
Advantages
• Considerable decrease in maintenance costs due to a prolonged service life of lubricant and machine parts
(owing to the high oxidation resistance an extremely extended service life of mineral oils is guaranteed)
• The good viscosity-temperature behavior ensures the formation of a load-resistant lubricating film on the
friction surfaces over a wide temperature range thus offering an optimum wear protection.
• Critical mixed-friction areas are easily coped with due to the efficiency of EP additives. These operating
conditions prevail under extremely high loads (e.g. shock loads), “stop-and-go” operations as well as at slow
rolling and sliding speeds under high loads.
• Excellent corrosion protection and good foaming behavior.
• Compatibility with non-ferrous metals is guaranteed by appropriate additives.
• CASTROL TRIBOL® 800/680 is classified according to API GL5 with regards to seizure.
Note for use
• CASTROL TRIBOL® 800 synthetic gear oils are not compatible with mineral oils. Therefore a thorough cleaning
of gearboxes, bearing and oil reservatoirs are recommended.
• Condensation water may be absorbed without the danger of corrision or a change in viscosity.
• CASTROL TRIBOL® 800 synthetic gear oils are compatible with seals, e.g. NBR, FPM (other materials on request).
• They are compatible with nearly all conventional one-component and two-component lacquers.
• Quality standard: CASTROL TRIBOL® 800 synthetic gear oils are

Tribol 4020/220-2
Description
Castrol Tribol™ 4020/220-2 greases are formulated from highly refined petroleum base oils, a lithium complex
thickener, and Tribol Grease Oil Additive (TGOA), the latest advancement in the field of friction reducing and
surface improving additive technology. These multi-service greases are designed to extend the service life of
bearings in heavy duty and elevated temperature applications.
The load-carrying, anti-wear, and friction reducing capabilities of Tribol 4020/220-2 greases exceed conventional
complex greases due to the advanced TGOA additive technology. Under relatively high specific loads and related
temperatures, this technology promotes a non-destructive smoothing of surface roughness in the micro-range.
This smoothing effect reduces friction and leads to an increase of the actual load-bearing surface.
If surface roughness peaks redevelop because of shock loads or stop-and-go operation, the TGOA additive
package automatically reactivates. Surface roughness is again smoothed and lubrication optimised.
Applications
Tribol 4020/220-2 greases were formulated as multi-service lubricants for heavy duty applications of plain
and anti-friction bearings under medium to high loads. The TGOA additives are very effective in protecting the
machined surfaces of bearings during the critical ‘running-in’ period. Good bearing surfaces are essential for long
bearing life. Tribol 4020/220-2 is commonly used as a plant wide lubricant in the automotive industry as well as
industries where the preference is for a high performance non-dark grease.
Advantages
• Advanced TGOA additive technology – multiple benefits including reduced friction, temperatures and noise,
increased load carrying ability, and superior surface protection.
• Excellent water resistance – the coating film stays on the surface even in the presence of water.
• Excellent mechanical stability and adhesion – the grease keeps its consistency in service ensuring long term
protection and reduced consumption as film stays between lubricated surfaces.
• Superior oxidation resistance – prevents corrosive activity on bearings in aggressive environments.
• Formulated to address environmental concerns – it is free of antimony, barium, lead, and zinc.

Tribol 1060/68
Description
• Castrol Tribol™ 1060 way oils were designed specifically to lubricate the slides and ways of machines tools of
all sizes. They also demonstrate the performance necessary to operate as gear and hydraulic oils, thus making
them the lubricant of choice for the total machine tool.
• Reciprocating way tables and machine tools must stop and start again at each change of direction. The oil
film at standstill is squeezed to a minimum thickness, allowing metal asperities (microscopic high spots)
an opposing surfaces to interlock, even if the oil film is not broken. If microscopic welds occur an impact,
then erratic motion called “stick-slip” occurs at the breakaway as the table reverses. This action, also called
“chatter”, manifests itself in poor finish and even in loss of tolerance of the parts being machined. Castrol Tribol
1060 way oils demonstrate outstanding resistance to stick-slip, showing excellent results in three different
test procedures.
• Equally important is the way oil’s ability to separate from cutting fluid emulsions. The formation of stable
emulsions of the way oil in the cutting fluid compromises the film of lubricant and the slideway and also leads
to contamination of the cutting fluid in the tank and circulating system. Castrol Tribol 1060 way oils show
excellent demulsification characteristics, as demonstrated by the Schmidt demulsification test with 12
different, commercial cutting fluid emulsions.
• The high quality base oils in Castrol Tribol 1060 way oils have been selected for their ability to maintain strong
film integrity even under great pressure.
• Additional compounding adds both adhesive and cohesive characteristics to these products.
• Wear protection and resistance to stick-slip are provided by a carefully developed package of Performance
additives.
• Castrol Tribol 1060 way oils are not corrosive to ferrous or non-ferrous metals. Rust and oxidation inhibiting
additives are present to afford rust protection and long life of the oil.
Application
• Intended applications of Castrol Tribol 1060 way oils are in machine tools, including circulation systems
primarily for the lubrication of ways and slides.
• Castrol Tribol 1060 way oils are also qualified for the lubrication of other machine tool components, including
plain and antifriction bearings, translating screws, gears such as are used in head stocks and speed change
units, as well as hydraulic systems.
• Castrol Tribol 1060 way oils are widely used in general applications where a non-drip characteristic is desirable
to reduce oil loss or “fly-off” from cams, eccentrics, conveyors, press shaft bearings, or from machines, which
from long use or earlier wear conditions, have expanded clearances.
• Application of Castrol Tribol 1060 way oils may be by oil can, oil cup, reservoir, or by circulation or dispensing
systems designed for way oils.

Rustilo AQUA PR
Description
Castrol Rustilo Aqua PR may be used as either a white spirits or water-borne corrosion preventive/pressing
lubricant, being a slightly turbid brown liquid in the neat state. The protective film is oily and slightly greasy.
Applications
• Castrol Rustilo Aqua PR has been specifically formulated to meet the body/panel pressing and corrosionprotection requirements of the motor vehicle manufacturing industry.
• Castrol Rustilo Aqua PR represents a major breakthrough in the drawing/rust preventive market, being used
neat as a drawing lubricant on deep drawing or as an emulsion for operations of lesser drawing severity.
Method Of Application
When used as a drawing compound Castrol Rustilo Aqua PR may be applied neat or as an emulsion, (depending
on the severity of the draw). Means of application is by roller, wipe application, etc. Successful deep drawing
operations include box sections, wheel wells, petrol tanks, etc
As A Water-Borne Rust Preventive
Conventional rust preventives work by the process of placing a physical barrier between the metal surface being protected
and the outside environment. With these products, the film-forming material is deposited by evaporation of a volatile
petroleum solvent, the solvent content being as high as 70% - 80%. With Castrol Rustilo Aqua PR, however, the
film-forming material may be deposited in the form of an emulsion with water. On application the emulsion breaks, the
water evaporates and the rust-preventive film is left behind. This is an irreversible process and film will not re-emulsify.
NOTE: Castrol Rustilo Aqua PR may also be mixed with white spirits in place of water, upon which it behaves as a
conventional temporary corrosion preventive.
Methods Of Application As A Corrosion Preventive
Brushing, spraying or by immersion.

LUBRICATING OILS AND FLUIDS,
AND RELATED PRODUCTS
There are many uses of lubricants, thus many types of lubricating oils and fluids are
produced, each type posses special properties. From a compositional viewpoint, these
products may conveniently be divided into the following categories:
Category A
Liquid products derived from high –boiling fractions of petroleum and having applications such as automotive,
industrial, marine and process oils. Most of these products contain special additives.
Category B
Petroleum-based lubricants and related products containing significant proportions of lighter distillates.
Category C
Petroleum- based lubricants and related products containing significant proportions of bitumen.
Category D
Petroleum oil/water emulsions.
Category E
Synthetic –based, non-petroleum lubricants and related products.
HEALTH ASPECTS
AND EMERGENCY
TREATMENT
www.castrol.co.za
CATEGORY A
HEALTH ASPECTS
Ingestion
Neat, highly refined lubricating oils exhibit only slight acute oral toxicity. The additives incorporated into these formulated
products are not thought to affect this toxicity appreciably.
Inhalation
The low volality of these products does not give rise to harmful concentrations of vapour except with open systems
at elevated temperatures. However, precautions should be taken to avoid build- up of oil-mist (from rotating machinery, for
example) in the working environment; the Threshold Limit Value for mineral oil mist is mg/m3.
Aspiration
The aspiration hazard associated with lubricating oils is very dependent upon viscosity, which determines both the likelihood
of entry into the respiratory system and the extent of subsequent penetration. Aspiration of oils with viscosities below
7 mm2/s at 40 ºC is highly hazardous and may give rise to rapidly developing severe pneumonitis, whereas the probability
of aspiration of oils with viscosities greater then 15cSt at 40 ºC is slight and the risk to health less.
Skin and Eye Contact
Frequent or prolonged skin contact may give rise to dermatitis. Gross and prolonged contact, especially with relatively
unrefined oils, may cause keratosis and even skin cancer. However, the use of modern highly refined oils, coupled with a high
standard of personal hygiene, minimises these risks. Some of these products may be slightly irritating if splashed in the eye.
Contamination during service may significantly increase the irritancy of these products.
EMERGENCY TREATMENT
Ingestion
No special treatment is required. Vomiting should not be induced because of the risk of aspiration.
Aspiration
If there is any suspicion of aspiration into the lungs (for example, during vomiting), obtain medical advise urgently.
Eyes
Irrigate the eyes with copious quantities of water.
IF IN DOUBT PLEASE CONSULT YOUR MEDICAL PRACTITIONER
HEALTH ASPECTS

CATEGORY B
HEALTH ASPECTS
Ingestion
These products are believed to be only moderately toxic:
Any additives incorporated are not thought to affect this toxicity appreciably.
Inhalation
There may be some irritation of the mouth and gastro intestinal tract. These products are more volatile than lubricants
listed in category A and therefore care should be taken to prevent undue heating during use. However, except when these
products are grossly misused, exposure to harmful concentrations of vapour is unlikely.
Aspiration
The aspiration hazard associated with lubricating oils is very dependent upon viscosity, which determines both the likelihood
of entry into the respiratory system and the extent of subsequent penetration.
These products are slightly to moderate irritating, and frequent or prolonged contact may cause dermatitis. They may be
slightly irritating if splashed into the eye.
EMERGENCY TREATMENT
Ingestion
Do not induce vomiting because of risk of aspiration. Give 250 ml of milk to drink.

The DH-1 Oils are also applicable to engines which were predating the long-term exhaust emission regulations. Based
on the premise that the drain intervals recommendation specified by engine manufacturers are observed, application
of a DH-1 Oil is also allowed to cases where diesel fuel having more than 0.05 % sulphur content is used. DH-2 and DL-1
classifications have been developed for the engines which are equipped with after-treatment devices such as Diesel
Particulate Filter (DPF) and catalyst in compliance with exhaust emission regulations subsequent to the new short-term
regulations. Oils conforming to these an excellent applicability to DPF and catalyst while keeping the same performance
level as required for DH-1 classification. Note that because required levels of engine oil are different between for truck/bus
and for passenger car class in engine durability, oil change distance, fuel economy, etc., DH-2 classification is adopted for
heavy-duty use by trucks/buses and DL-1 classification is adopted for light-duty use by passenger car classes. DH-2 Oils
and DL-1 Oils can be used only in the environment where low-sulphur diesel fuel having not more than 0.005 % sulphur
content is used. Based on the premises that low-sulphur diesel fuel having not more than 0.005 % sulphur content is used
and that the user complies with oil change distance recommended by the engine manufacturer, application of a DH-2 Oil
is also allowed to engines predating the new short-term exhaust emission regulations.

TWO STROKE ENGINE OILS
Two-stroke-cycle engines find application in:
• Outboard marine engines
• Personal water craft and jet skis
• Scooters, mopeds and all-terrain vehicles
• Chain saws, lawn mowers and other portable implements
Water cooling is widely used in outboards. Most engines in other applications are air-cooled or liquid – cooled. The engines
have various preferences for oil performance, depending upon the degree of cooling, engine design, and type of service.
Major performance requirements for two-stroke engine includes:
• Protection against piston and cylinder scuffing
• Protection against ring sticking and exhaust blocking
• Smoke reduction
• Protection against deposit-induced Pre- ignition
• Rust prevention
For air –cooled two – stroke engines, lubricating oil performance is classified according to API, JASO, ISO and TISI (Thai
Industrial Standards Institute). For outboard engines, oil performance is classified according to NMMA.
Air cooled engines
API TA, TB and TC are the oldest performance categories for two-stroke air cooled engines, although API TC has been the
most prevalent and demanded category. Because one of the engines required for API TC testing is unavailable, oils can no
longer be tested for this performance category.
In 1994, the Japanese Automobile Standards Organization (JASO) defined a specification that describes three quality
levels for low-ash air-cooled two-cycle engine oils: FA, FB, and FC. Lubricant performance is assessed according to four
performance criteria: detergency, lubricity, exhaust blocking and smoke. Performance of candidate oil is rated against
that of reference oil.
The difference between the JASO and ISO specifications is the inclusion of a performance category higher then JASO FC
and an additional requirement to evaluate piston varnish. These oils will be required to provide higher detergency and
ring-stick protection that the JASO oils.

2T SPECIFICATION
Japanese motorcycle manufacturers found the limits demanded by the API TC specifications too loose. Oils meeting the
API TC standard still produced excessive smoke and could not prevent exhaust blocking. Therefore the Japanese Engine
Oil Standards Implementation Panel (JASO) introduced the following specifications:
JASO FA
Original spec established regulating lubricity, detergency, initial torque, exhaust
smoke and exhaust system blocking.
JASO FB
Increased lubricity, detergency, exhaust smoke and exhaust system blocking
requirements over FA.
JASO FC
Lubricity and initial torque requirements same as FB, however far higher
detergency, exhaust smoke and exhaust system blocking requirements over FB.
JASO FD
Same as FC with far higher detergency requirement.
During the mid-90s it became clear that the JASO Specifications cannot satisfy the requirements of the modern European
two-stroke engines. The ISO standards listed below were developed to address this shortcoming. Their basis is the
relevant JASO standard + they require an additional 3h Honda test to be run to quantify piston cleanliness and detergent
effect.
ISO-L-EGB
Same requirements as JASO FB + test for piston cleanliness.
ISO-L-EGC
Same requirements as JASO FC + test for piston cleanliness.
ISO-L-EGD
Same requirements as JASO FD + test for piston cleanliness + detergent effect.
Water cooled engines
Performance requirements for outboard engine oils are defined by NMMA. They include:
• NMMA (BIA) TC – Now obsolete
• NMMA TC-WII – Now obsolete
• NMMA TC – W3 – Now obsolete
• NMMA Re-certificate TC – W3
In 1994, the industry decided that all existing TC-W3 certified passing two consecutive Mercury Marine 15-hp engine
tests must recertify oils. In addition, some base oil/bright stock read-across provisions were allowed. Tests required for
obtaining a recertified TC-W3 qualification for totally new oil are outlined in the table.
NMMA will grant reblending/rebranding licenses for only the recertified TC-W3 category. All other previous categories
are considered obsolete. The NMMA license number for TC-W3 began with a 3, whereas that for recertified TC-W3 begins
with R.

4T SPECIFICATION
Modern passenger car engine oils contain more and more friction modifiers. While this is the good thing for those
segments (reduces wear and fuel consumption) it’s bad for the motorcycles. At least for those motorcycles which use
engine oil to lubricate their transmission and wet clutch. JASO introduced the MA and MB specification to distinguish
between friction modified and non friction modified engine oils. Most four-stroke motorcycles with wet clutches need a
JASO MA oil.
JASO MA
Japanese standard for special oil which can be used in 4-stroke motorcycle
engine with one oilsystem for engine, gearbox and wet clutchsystem. Fluid is nonfriction modified.
JASO MB
MB grade oils are classified as the lowest friction oils among motorcycle fourcycle oils. Not to be used where a JASO MA grade oil is required.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUIDS
Automatic transmission fluids (ATFs) are among the most complex multifunctional fluids
available because they serve many purposes in the transmission, including;
•
•
•
•
•
Heat dissipation
Wear protection
Lubrication
Foam inhibition
Shift quality
In addition, ATFs must be compatible with all transmission components, operate at both low and high temperature
extremes, and maintain constant performance for extended periods.
Automatic transmission fluids typically contain antioxidants, antifoam agents, viscosity modifiers, antiwear additives,
friction modifiers, and seal swell modifiers, They are dyed red or identification purposes.
In general, ATF performance is defined by the service-fill specifications of passenger car and commercial vehicle
transmission manufacturers. These specifications establish both testing procedures and pass/fail criteria for
the performance parameters listed above. Measuring the frictional characteristics of the fluid in contact with the
transmission’s frictional elements is especially critical in ensuring acceptable drive-ability for a particular vehicle.
Typically, OEMs require that all test work be performed at independent laboratories.
ATF specifications also establish the procedure for obtaining a license from the OEM for use of trademarked terms
associated with their approval and for receiving a unique identifying number for that marketer and formulation. Frequently,
annual fees are established to fund the OEM’s cost of demonstrating the system and for field surveillance to ensure its
integrity.
Since January 1, 1994, General Motors has required the use of fluids certified as meeting its DEXRON®– II specification
in its passenger and commercial vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions. Fluids that have not been formally
approved against these requirements should not use the DEXRON® term. These fluids are ‘back serviceable,” or suitable
for older GM transmissions. Each DEXRON®- III fluid marketed has a unique “F-number” designation.
Ford Motor Co. requires the use of fluids meeting the MERCON® specification for most pre-1996 vehicles. The
specification has undergone significant revisions since its original release. In January 1996, Ford released the MERCON®
V specification. Intended for use in certain 1996 and later vehicles, fluids meeting these requirements exhibit superior
shear and oxidative stability, and low temperature performance. However the fluid has limited back-serviceability for
older vehicles.
MERCON® fluids are back serviceable to Ford vehicles produces since 1981. Generally, vehicles produced prior to that
model year require a different type of fluid, Ford Type F. The use of Type F fluids in transmissions designed for MERCON®,
or vice versa, could result in poor shift quality.
The Allison Transmission Div, of General Motors specifies fluids meeting the requirements of the Allison C-4 specification
for their heavy-duty transmissions used in commercial and off-highway vehicles. This approval can be obtained on a
variety of lubricant types, including ATFs. Fluids formally approved against C-4 requirements will display a ‘C-number.”

AUTOMOTIVE GEAR LUBRICANTS
Gear lubricants must meet a number of requirements, which can be supplied only by
specially formulated products. Most hears need oil with some degree of extreme pressure
(EP) protection to prevent wear, pitting, spalling, scoring and eventual tooth breakage.
Depending on the application, , protection against oxidation, thermal degradation, rust,
copper corrosion, water emulsification and foaming must also be provided. Viscosities must
be tailored to ambient temperature conditions.
Automotive gear oils are used in most final drives, manual transmissions and transaxles of trucks, buses and passenger
cars. To completely specify a gear lubricant, both the API service designation and SAE viscosity grade are required. With
the possible exception of API GL-1, lubricant for each API designations are formulated with performance additives. The
amount and type of additive used depends on the performance required by a particular application.
Axle and transmission lubricant viscosities are defined in SAE J306 recommended practise. Viscosity should be selected
based on minimum and maximum service temperatures. Multigrade fluids are normally used and each viscosity grade has
distinct criteria for low and high temperature performance.
The most widely used automotive gear lubricants in North America are of API Gl-5 quality (near equivalent to MIL-L2105D) for axles and API GL-4 for manual transmissions. However, the requirements of many equipment builders exceed
these specifications. As a result, SAE and ASTM have proposed updated GL categories to reflect present and future needs.
This action has promoted the development of a new gear lubricant category, API MT-1. This category contains upgraded
performance requirements for oils intended for heavy-duty truck and bus manual transmission used primarily in North
America.
SAE J306
Automotive gear lubricant viscosities are defined in SAE J306. This standard was updated in July 1998 and incorporates
several changes compared to previous versions. One change was the addition of two new viscosity grade designations,
SAE 80 and SAE 85. These designations are frequently used in Europe, most commonly to specify the viscometrics for
manual transmission lubricants.
A second addition was the requirement that the lubricant remain in its viscosity grade following a 20-hour shear stability
test, the CEC L-45-T-93 Method. The need for the shear stability requirement is due to the increasing use of wide span
multigrades, which may contain significant amounts of polymers. If these polymers shear in service, a decrease in
viscosity and subsequent decrease in fluid film protection may ultimately lead to equipment failure. The shear stability
requirement ensures that the lubricant will maintain sufficient oil film thickness during operation to protect equipment
against premature wear and other types of distress.
The final addition was a set of standard viscosity identification and labelling guidelines. The benefit of these guidelines is
that they provide a standard worldwide vocabulary to identify automotive gear lubricants. This should make it easier for
consumers to select the proper lubricant viscosity grade without confusion.

API Caregory MT-1
Numerous performance specifications can be used to identify the level of protection that will be provided by an automotive
gear lubricant. In the past, API Category GL-4 was commonly used to describe the type of lubricants that would provide
acceptable performance in manual transmissions and lightly loaded final drive axles. API Category GL-5 described
lubricants that were generally used in final drive axles operating in moderate to severe service. However, several new
performance specifications are becoming the benchmark for describing lubricant quality.
API Category MT-1, which was issued in 1995, described the performance requirements of lubricants intended for use
in non0-synchronized manual transmissions, such as those found in heavy-duty trucks and buses. Lubricants meeting
the requirements of API Category MT-1 provide protection against the combination of thermal degradation, component
wear, and oil seal deterioration, which is not provided by lubricants meeting only the requirements of API GL-1 through GL-5.
Many automobile manufacturers have proprietary test requirements for their factory fill gear lubricants. As such, factory
fill oils provide unique performance characteristic that are critical for the satisfactory operation of a particular OEM’s
drivetrain. Their performance characteristics may include break-in, bearing pre-load, and limited-slip durability. However,
API GL-5 lubricants are often recommended for service fill applications.
The quality of European gear oils is influenced primarily by the requirements of the major commercial vehicle and
passenger car manufacturers. APIL GL-5 and MIL-L-3205D establish the minimum performance level for European
commercial vehicles. Equipment builders then impose additional requirements to meet their specific needs for improved
surface fatigue, component, cleanliness, synchromesh durability and viscometrics.
The majority of passenger car now use a transaxle drive train arrangement, reducing the need for rear axle lubricants.
These vehicles are filled for life at the factory. More specialised manual transmission fluids are replacing conventional
API Gl-4 lubricants. These fluids have excellent thermal stability and carefully tailored frictional characteristics to provide
smooth synchronisation and good shift quality. Non-conventional base stocks are being used increasingly to help meet
more stringent viscometrics requirements.
In Japan, recommendations for manual transaxle lubricants are similar to those in North America. API GL-5 gear oils are
generally recommended for hypoid and spiral bevel axles in cars and light duty trucks and for heavy-duty truck axles and
transmissions. GL-3 and GL-4 quality oils are used in manual transmissions in cars and light duty trucks.
A performance not addressed by specifications is limited slip. Because of hardware differences among the various limitedslip differentials, no standard industry-wide test is available to evaluate a lubricants ability to prevent chatter in this
application. Lubricant requirements, therefore, are based on performance in an individual manufactures test rig or vehicle.

Service Designations in Current Use
API GL-1
Denotes lubricants intended for manual transmissions operating under such
mild conditions that straight petroleum or refined petroleum oil may be used
satisfactorily. Oxidation and rust inhibitors, deformers and pour depressants may
be added to improve the characteristics of these lubricants. Friction modifiers and
extreme pressure additives shall not be used.
API GL-4
Denotes lubricants intended for axles with spiral bevel gears operating under
moderate to severe conditions of speed and load or axles with hypoid gears operating
under moderate speeds and loads. These oils may be used in selected manual
transmissions and transaxle applications where API MT-1 lubricants are unsuitable.
API GL-5
Denotes lubricants intended for gears, particularly hypoid gears, in axles operating
under various combinations of high-speed shock loads and low speed, high torque
conditions. Lubricants qualified under MIL-L-2105D satisfy the requirements of the
API GL-5 specification, although the API designation does not require military approval.
API MT-1
Denotes lubricants intended for non-synchronised manual transmissions used
in buses and heavy-duty trucks. Lubricants meeting the requirements of API
MT-1 provide protection against the combination of the thermal degradation,
component wear and oil seal deterioration. API MT-1 does not address the
performance requirements of synchronized transmissions and transaxles in
passenger car and heavy- duty applications.

TRACTOR FLUIDS
Farm tractors, off-highway machinery, industrial tractors and related equipment require a
variety of lubricants, ranging from engine oil to hydraulic fluids and transmission oils to wet
brake fluids. Except for engine oils, worldwide performance standards for tractor lubricants
are set by original equipment manufacturers. The most common standards are summarized
on the following pages.
Today’s tractor fluids lubricate transmissions, final drives, wet brakes and clutches and hydraulic systems, typically from
a common fluid reservoir on the tractor. These unique performance characteristics make tractor fluids acceptable for
use in both on and off-highway commercial transmissions and high-pressure hydraulic systems. They can also be used in
mining equipment. Because of this versatility, these fluids are often called universal tractor transmissions oils (UTTOs)
in North America. In Europe and some other areas of the world, farmers have accepted the concept of super tractor oil
universal (STOU). STOU oils are formulated to be used in the engine, wet brakes, hydraulic systems, and transmissions of
many farm tractors currently in service.

INDUSTRIAL GEAR OILS
Industrial gear oils are used under diverse operating conditions and a variety of end users
from primary metal manufacturing to mining, construction and other off-highway equipment.
The minimum performance requirement for industrial gear oils are heavy-duty extreme pressure (EP), performance and
rust, corrosion and oxidation resistance in the presence of water contaminates and high temperature. Premium industrial
oil also provides superior thermal stability cleanliness. Such top-tier performance will ensure long-term equipment
protection through high temperature EP performance, longer oil demulsibility and extended foam inhibition in the
presence of water and contaminants. Compatibility with a variety of mineral and synthetic base fluids is also important in
the development and use of industrial gear oils.
Industrial gear oils must remain functional in the presence of high amounts of water, such a experienced in steel mills.
Water in the oil can cause rust, corrosion and a rapid loss of gear protection. Industrial gear oils are also used in highly
contaminated areas such as mines and quarries, where they must operate under high loads and speeds at high operating
temperatures. Higher loads, speeds and temperature are also the result of gearboxes being continuously downsized. For
a gear oil to survive these challenging conditions, it must meet many stringent requirements.
The United States Steel (USS) 224 specification for non-lead EP industrial gear oils is one of the world’s most widely
recognized specifications. It was released in the early 1980s to address the use of sulphur-phosphorous industrial gear
oil formulations. The American Gear Manufacturer’s Association (AGMA) has upgraded its AGMA 250.04 enclosed gear
oil specification to more closely reflect USS 224 performance. Cincinnati Milacron also has lubricant specifications that
emphasize oil’s need for thermal stability and antirust protection. In addition to these platform specifications, a number
of supplementary tests can be conducted to assess performance in applications where premium performance is required.
R&O Turbine Oils
R&O turbine oils inhibit rust and oxidation in high –speed turbine applications. These oils are also use din light-duty or
non-antiwear industrial hydraulic and gear system. Equipment builders, users, military and technical societies, have
issued several specifications covering R&O oils.

Grease is sued in applications where liquid lubricants cannot provide the required protection.
It is easy to apply and requires little maintenance. The main properties of grease are that it
stays in place, provides sealing action, and provides extra film thickness.
