P OW E R SHIF T T R A N SMI S SION S The control of the powershift transmission is manual, allowing for a wide range of speed ratios with an almost instant shift from forward to reverse. Most powershift transmission fluids have evolved from motor oil to straight weight TO‑4 transmission fluids. Today's transmissions have highly sensitive friction‑based components that require "grabby," not slippery, fluid to achieve a tight lock up. A P R E MIUM TO ‑ 4 P OW E R S HIF T T R A N S MI S S ION F LUID S HOUL D: • Give control over the frictional elements in a powershift transmission • Eliminate brake noise • Reduce wear of elastomeric material • Prevent slippage • Encourage stable performance over the life of the fluid • Inhibit metal‑to‑metal contact while protecting pumps, gear sets, drive gears and bearings from early wear • Offer foam protection against fluid loss • Ensure low‑temperature performance for less start‑up wear • Control oxidation deposits that can restrict lubrication • Maintain excellent shear stability for consistent protection B A C K N E X T T4 L A B C H E C K E N G i N E T R A N S M i S S i O N A X L E F i F T H W H E E L & G R E A S E S S U P E R C L E A N H O M E H Y D R A U L i C F L U i D S D i A G N O S i N G A U T O M AT i C T R A N S M i S S i O N P R O P E R T i E S For further information and resources please click this link to Castrol Canada GPS guide – Transmissions
