CASTROL TRANSMAX
Driveline fluids
As vehicles are required to carry heavier loads and the need for durability increases, driveline fluids are more and more critical for vehicle reliability. Getting the right oil for your vehicle is key to ensuring your gearboxes and axles operate as they are designed to, and get the maximum protection under demanding conditions.
Castrol, with over 100 years of experience in developing gearbox oils and, being the choice of many leading vehicle and equipment manufacturers for factory-fill products, offers a range of gear oils for your vehicle’s requirements; providing you the peace of mind that you are getting the right oil for your vehicle and keeping your vehicle in operation longer.

Castrol Axle limited Slip 85W-140
(Replaces LSX 85W-140)
Mineral based gear oil for use in limited differentials in cars and commercial vehicles where API GL-5 performance is required; also suitable for use in conventional differentials.
May be recommended for use in differentials, gear boxes, and steering gears of many cars, trucks, farm machinery, earthmoving and excavating machinery requiring a hypoid lubricant.
It is particularly recommended for conventional hypoid differentials where the differential is operating with very high loads.
The higher level of extreme pressure and limited slip additives give added wear protection in both conventional and limited slip hypoid differentials.
