DescriptionCastrol GTX is one of the world’s most trusted motor oils. It’s more than just oil. It’s liquid engineering that protects against problems, like sludge, that your engine faces every day.

Severe driving conditions such as every day stop-and-go/stop-start traffic, harsh weather conditions and extended drain intervals, can all cause the build-up of a thick, tar-like substance called sludge. You can’t see this sludge build-up but it can damage your engine’s performance and cause premature engine failure.

Protect your car from harmful sludge build-up with Castrol GTX.

ApplicationCastrol GTX 20W-50 is suitable for automotive gasoline and diesel engines where the manufacturer recommends an API SL/CF or earlier specification 20W-50 lubricant.

AdvantagesCastrol GTX 20W-50• Contains anti-sludge formula that provides superior sludge protection.• Superior protection against viscosity and thermal breakdown.• Anti-wear additives that extend the life of your engine.

Radicool NFANTI-

DescriptionCastrol 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

ApplicationCastrol 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 SFANTI-

FREEZE

DescriptionCastrol 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.

• 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.

BRAKE FLUIDBRAKE FLUIDBRAKE FLUID

DescriptionCastrol 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.

ApplicationCastrol 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.

DescriptionCastrol 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.

ApplicationCastrol 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 UseCastrol 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, for which Castrol HSMO Plus is approved).

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.

DescriptionThis 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 clay-thickened 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.

Advantages / Features• 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 T Range

DescriptionThe Perfecto T Range of turbine oils are formulated from highly refined base stocks which exhibit excellent demulsibilty, anti-foam and air release properties.

Their oxidative stability and corrosion protection property are further enhanced by the inclusion of specially selected additives .

ApplicationPerfecto T oils are primarily intended for the lubrication of gas and steam turbines where the base oils used have been selected to give the requisite water separation characteristics as well as providing resistance to foaming and air entrainment, all essential properties for this demanding application.

Perfecto T 100 meets the requirements set by most manufacturers of marine steam turbine propulsion machinery. It passes the IP/ASTM rust prevention test and has good oxidation stability measured by the IP/ASTM turbine oxidation stability test (TOST).

Perfecto T 68 meets the lower viscosity requirement favoured by some manufacturers of marine turbine propulsion machinery and is predominantly used for the lubrication of turbine driven marine auxiliary equipment.

Perfecto T 32 is a light turbine oil for applications in small industrial gas turbines and LNG carriers. It is also used in various ancillary systems requiring rust and oxidation inhibited mineral oil to ISO VG 32.

Advantages• Excellent oxidation stabitity provides trouble free operation for extended periods in aggressive environments

where heat, air, moisture and metals can all contribute to oil degradation.• Good foam and air release properties means the product meets the requirements of most turbine builders.• Excellent water separation and corrosion inhibition means reduced down time through prolonged lubricant life

and increased equipment reliability.

Care and HandlingAvoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin. Wash thoroughly after handling.

Packaging and StorageAll packages should be stored under cover. Where outside storage is unavoidable drums should be laid horizontally to avoud the possible ingress of water and the obliteration of drum markings. Products should not be stored above 60 °C, exposed to hot sun or freezing conditions.

Perfecto HT 5

DescriptionCastrol 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.

ApplicationCastrol 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

Advantages / Features• 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

COMPRESSORCOMPRESSORCOMPRESSOROILSOILSOILSAirSteam Cylinder Oils

DescriptionAircol 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.

ApplicationsAircol 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.

Advantages / FeaturesAircol 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.

Cresta SHS

DescriptionCresta™ 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.

ApplicationsCresta™ 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• Extended equipment life.• 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.

ApplicationsThe 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.

GENERALAPPLICATION

DescriptionCastrol 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.

ApplicationsThe 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.

GeneralWater 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

DescriptionCastrol 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

ApplicationsTypical 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.

Additional InformationTribol 1100 gear oils are compatible with other petroleum gear oils. This means that traces of previous oil remaining in the gear case after draining should not pose problems. However, the beneficial effects of the TGOA additives are reduced when Tribol 1100 gear oils are mixed with other oils. A thorough cleaning of the gearbox is highly recommended to achieve the maximum benefits of Tribol 1100.

Molub-Alloy® 777-2 NG

DescriptionCASTROL 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

DescriptionCASTROL 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.

Tribol® 800/680

DescriptionCASTROL 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

DescriptionCastrol 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.

ApplicationsTribol 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.

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 PreventiveBrushing, spraying or by immersion.

Dilution Rations: v/v

LUBRICATING OILS AND FLUIDS, AND RELATED PRODUCTSThere 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 ALiquid 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 BPetroleum-based lubricants and related products containing significant proportions of lighter distillates.

Category CPetroleum- based lubricants and related products containing significant proportions of bitumen.

Category DPetroleum oil/water emulsions.

Category ESynthetic –based, non-petroleum lubricants and related products.

HEALTH ASPECTS AND EMERGENCY TREATMENT

www.castrol.co.za

CATEGORY A HEALTH ASPECTSIngestionNeat, 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.

InhalationThe 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.

AspirationThe 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 ContactFrequent 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 TREATMENTIngestionNo special treatment is required. Vomiting should not be induced because of the risk of aspiration.

AspirationIf there is any suspicion of aspiration into the lungs (for example, during vomiting), obtain medical advise urgently.

EyesIrrigate the eyes with copious quantities of water.

IF IN DOUBT PLEASE CONSULT YOUR MEDICAL PRACTITIONER


www.castrol.co.za

CATEGORY B HEALTH ASPECTSIngestionThese products are believed to be only moderately toxic: Any additives incorporated are not thought to affect this toxicity appreciably.

InhalationThere 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.

AspirationThe 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.

Skin and Eye ContactThese 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 TREATMENTIngestionDo not induce vomiting because of risk of aspiration. Give 250 ml of milk to drink.

AspirationIf there is any suspicion of aspiration into the lungs (for example, during vomiting), obtain medical advice urgently.




www.castrol.co.za

CATEGORY C HEALTH ASPECTS The properties of the lubricants in this Category are similar to those in Categories A or B.

CATEGORY D HEALTH ASPECTSThese oil water emulsions are believed to present no serious hazards under all normal conditions of use. However, their low toxicity and irritancy may be significantly increased if they become contaminated during service.

EMERGENCY TREATMENTIngestionNo special treatment is required. Vomiting should not be induced because of risk of aspiration.

AspirationIf there is any suspicion of aspiration into the lungs (for example, during vomiting), obtain medical advice urgently.




www.castrol.co.za

CATEGORY E HEALTH ASPECTSThese synthetic products contain a wide range of different chemical compounds and for that reason this Category can be discussed only in very general terms. Information concerning individual formulations is available if required.

IngestionIn general, these products are believed to posses low to moderate acute oral toxicity.

InhalationWhen used under the circumstances for which they are recommended, these products are unlikely to give rise to harmful concentrations of vapours.

Skin and Eye ContactIrritation is unlikely if these products are used correctly, and many have been shown to be non-irritant.

EMERGENCY TREATMENTIngestionVomiting should not be induced because of risk of aspiration.

AspirationIf there is any suspicion of aspiration into the lungs (For example, during vomiting), obtain medical advice urgently.

JASO ENGINE SERVICE CLASSIFICATIONSEngine oils subject to the Automotive Diesel Engine Oil Standard JASO M 355: 2005 shall be classified into DH-1, DH-2 and DL-1, all of which apply to four-cycle diesel engines.

DH-1 Classification DH-1 classification has been developed for the diesel engines which are subjected to long-term exhaust emission regulations, and stipulate requirements for performance in such conditions as wear prevention, corrosion prevention, high-temperature oxidation stability, and soot control. Further, oils piston detergency, formation of deposits at high temperature, foaming, oil consumption due to evaporative loss, viscosity decrease by shear, deterioration of oil seals, etc. 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 OILSTwo-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 enginesAPI 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 SPECIFICATIONJapanese 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 enginesPerformance 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 SPECIFICATIONModern 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 non-friction modified.

JASO MB MB grade oils are classified as the lowest friction oils among motorcycle four-cycle oils. Not to be used where a JASO MA grade oil is required.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUIDSAutomatic 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.”

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONFLUIDS

AUTOMOTIVE GEAR LUBRICANTSGear 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-L-2105D) 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.

AUTOMATIVEGEAR LUBRICANTS

API Caregory MT-1Numerous 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 limited-slip 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 FLUIDSFarm 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 PRODUCTSIndustrial lubricants include hydraulic fluids, gear oils, turbine oils, metalworking fluids and greases. In general, original equipment suppliers and standards organizations set specification for these products.

Antiwear Hydraulic FluidsWorldwide performance standards for antiwear hydraulic oils are set by original equipment manufacturers, government agencies and standards organizations. In the U.S, specifications are established primarily by OEM product requirements. In Europe, major country standards organizations set the requirements.

INDUSTRIAL GEAR OILSIndustrial 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 OilsR&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.

GREASESGrease 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.

Grease consists of three main components: thickener, base oil and additives. Their thickeners identify most grease. The most widely used thickeners and their properties are listed below.

The base oil is generally selected for its low temperature characteristics, oxidation stability and elastomeric compatibility. Additives used in greases compensate for thickener deficiencies, enhance performance and provide extreme pressure properties. Typical additives include antioxidants, rust inhibitors, extreme pressure agents, anti wear agents, polymers and solids.
