Description

Castrol TRANSMAX Axle Long Life 75W-140 is a fully synthetic oil from the TRANSMAX line for final drives, differentials and drive axles in cars and commercial vehicles. It is most often used in Scania axles.

The oil is rated API GL-5 and holds the official Scania STO 2:0 A approval; Scania includes it in its list of oils for extended drain intervals.

Typical figures: 25 mm²/s at 100 °C and 182 mm²/s at 40 °C, viscosity index 170, pour point -54 °C, flash point 234 °C.

An extended drain interval applies only where the vehicle manufacturer allows it.

Application

Differentials and drive axles in cars and commercial vehicles, above all Scania axles that require an oil approved to Scania STO 2:0 A for extended drain intervals.

Worth knowing

Scania codes for gear oils are tied to the unit: since 2017 the letter A has marked oils for drive axles and the letter G oils for gearboxes. This oil’s entry has the axle code Scania STO 2:0 A and no code with the letter G. On Castrol’s Australian page it is named as the replacement for Syntrax Long Life 75W-140.

Among TRANSMAX oils only this one has the line “Scania STO 2:0 A”. Universal LL 75W-90 carries a similar but different code, “Scania STO 2:0 A FS”, and is a 75W-90, so it is not a direct replacement for an axle that requires 75W-140. Limited Slip LL 75W-140 matches it in SAE grade and API GL-5, but instead of Scania it has MB 235.61 and four ZF TE-ML classes. A table of axle and gearbox codes from Scania, MAN, Volvo and Mercedes-Benz is in the article on gear oil approvals.
