DESCRIPTION / APPLICATION:
- Castrol BOT 402 is a fully synthetic SAE 75W-85 manual transmission fluid.
Castrol BOT 402 can be recommended for most manual transmissions where API GL-4 lubricants are required.
Castrol BOT 402 meets Opel's requirements for use in the manual transmission of all front wheel drive (FWD) and rear wheel drive (RWD) passenger cars worldwide.
BENEFITS:
- Smoother and easier gear shift due to a combination of reduced shifting forces and optimal synchronisation.
- Reduced torque loss increases efficiency over all transmission load ranges.
- Increased wear protection of synchronizer and bearings during startup phase.
- Fuel saving potential “ less fuel consumption means lower emissions.
- Improved shift comfort and prevention of œsynchroniser clash during gear change at a wide range of ambient temperatures and operating conditions.
- Extended synchroniser life reduces warranty and maintenance costs.
- Optimal lubrication of transmission components enhances performance and life.
- Maintains noise reduction (eg : in-gear rattle; idling rattle), improved driver satisfaction.
- Excellent transmission cleanliness and longer oil life permit decreased servicing.
- Longer oil and component life permit extended drain and decreased servicing.
- Helps protect surface of moving parts, extending transmission life.
- Helps avoid oil leakages, reducing repair costs.
- Better environmental compatibility “ easier waste oil disposal and recyclability.
FEATURES:
- Excellent cold flow properties combined with balanced frictional characteristics.
- Excellent synchroniser performance and maintained frictional properties during lifetime.
- High shear stability.
- Excellent thermal and oxidative stability.
- Temperature reduction through reduced friction.
- Good anti-pitting behaviour
- Good seal compatibility.
- Free from chlorine and heavy metals.
