VISCOSITY - ISO 38

Castrol TranSynd Fully Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid

DESCRIPTION

Castrol TranSynd can be recommended for all vehicles calling for Dexron III/Mercon or Allison TES 295 and TES 468 ATF’s suitable for bus and refuse vehicles with automatic transmissions.

APPLICATIONS

ADVANTAGES

Castrol TranSynd Fully Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid Product Advantages:

Excellent thermal and oxidative stability means that the viscosity remains almost constant helping prevent deposits and oil thickening – this extends transmission life and avoids incorrect gear changing.
Excellent transmission cleanliness under all conditions permits extended oil drain and decreased servicing.
Excellent temperature reduction through reduced friction leads to longer oil and component life and permits extended drain and decreased servicing.
Lower power input means fuel savings potential and reduced emissions.
Optimised frictional characteristics give smoother gear changing at all ambient temperatures and load conditions.
Constant frictional properties improve driving comfort.
Outstanding cold flow properties enable faster oil flow to all critical components (eg torque converter, friction plates, planetary wheels and brake bands) particularly during cold starts.
More responsive and comfortable gear change. Minimises ‘shift stock’ when changing gear.
Excellent shear stability properties help retain full transmission performance over the whole oil drain period.
Optimal lubrication ensures a constant level of comfort during gear changing.
Good extreme pressure (EP) and anti-wear performance give better transmission component protection leading to longer life.
Very good seal performance helps avoid oil leakages, reducing repair costs.
Free from chlorine and heavy metals for better environmental compatibility – easier waste oil disposal and recyclability.
