Automotive
Gear Oils - EP 80
DESCRIPTION
Castrol EP 80 is a mineral based extreme pressure multi-purpose
gear oil containing anti-oxidant, anti-corrosion and
anti-foam additives to protect against
problems due to oil oxidation, gear tooth corrosion
and oil foam. It also contains a special E.P. additive
to cope with the conditions of high rubbing pressures.
APPLICATION
Castrol EP 80 is primarily recommended for the lubrication
of spur and helical gears, such as used in automotive
manual gearboxes, where the manufacturer
specifies the use of an EP oil. Leading British and
International motor manufacturers approve the use of
Castrol EP 80 for passenger cars and commercial
vehicle gearboxes, steering boxes and idlers. Castrol
EP 80 can also be used in hypoid gears requiring API
GL-4 performance.
