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.
