Product Description
Castrol Transmax Z is a fully synthetic automatic transmission fluid with outstanding oxidation and friction stability. It is dyed green for easy identification.
Castrol Transmax Z is a DEXRON III type automatic transmission fluid intended to satisfy all DEXRON III, II E and D requirements.
It helps provide a smooth shift and long life in both passenger car and heavy duty automatic transmissions. Also recommended for power steering systems where automatic transmission fluids are recommended.
Product Application
Castrol Transmax Z is recommended where either DEXRON III, II E or II D fluids are specified.
Castrol Transmax Z has proved most suitable in severe service applications where high temperatures have reduced transmission life. Castrol Transmax Z has been shown to reduce automatic transmission fluid temperatures by up to 20°C in severe duty applications.
Typical applications include:
Heavy duty automatic transmissions with integral retarders.
Transmissions of vehicles used for towing.
Transmission retarders.
Racing application.
Long drain applications.
Ford A4 LD transmissions in taxis and transit vans.
Testing has been carried out in automatic transmissions of passenger cars and buses. Therefore, this product is suitable for both types of automatic transmissions, in particular in cold climates, to improve the
shiftability or under hot/severe conditions for bus transmissions to extend the oil drain interval.
Transmax Z
Extended drain interval in heavy duty automatic transmissions
City and Suburban service 100,000km or 2 years
On-Highway 300,000km or 2 years
For all long drain oil applications, Castrol Labcheck or other oil and wear metal monitoring is required to ensure optimum performance and durability.
NOTE: Castrol Transmax Z is NOT recommended where Ford
M2C-33F or G fluids are specified.
Also recommended for power steering systems and manual transmission applications where DEXRON III or II fluids are specified.
Although Castrol Transmax Z is compatible with conventional mineral DEXRON III or II fluids, its performance is maximised if it is not mixed with these other ATF's.
Very successfully used in drag racing applications in Australia, in
Powerglide to Lenco transmissions, for Super Street to Top Alcohol competitors.
Castrol Transmax Z is approved by Voith, Mercedes Benz and ZF for commercial vehicle applications.
Product Features & Benefits
Castrol Transmax Z shows excellent cold flow performance, very good anti-wear performance, outstanding friction durability and excellent oxidation stability.
Compared to typical mineral DEXRON III type ATF’s Castrol Transmax Z offers the following advantages:
Outstanding resistance to high temperature oxidation - suitable for severe service.
Longer oil drain intervals - lower service costs.
Viscosity stability, i.e. less noise when hot - maintains new oil feel and higher performance.
Better control of deposits - cleaner transmission - longer life.
Castrol Transmax Z shows outstanding friction durability compared to a wide range of mineral automatic transmission fluids and synthetic automatic transmission fluids.
