INDU S T RY T E S T R E SULT S PLE S SE Y‑SUNSTR A ND FOR D M 3C 13 4 ‑D TE ST The Plessey‑Sunstrand Ford M3C134‑D Test also measures the flow characteristics of a fluid when contaminated with water. Castrol UTF showed no flow rate degradation. Maximum allowable flow rate degradation is 5%. F OR D 3 0 0 0 A X L E T E S T The Ford 3000 Axle Test subjects gear tooth surfaces to pressures of 400,000 psi for 100 hours at almost 200°F. Gears protected with Castrol UTF showed practically no wear due to pitting, scoring, ridging or corrosion. B R A K E C H AT T E R T E S T To measure break chatter, Castrol UTF was compared with a competitive fluid on a Massey Ferguson 275 Agricultural Tractor. In all gears, it provided consistently quieter brake performance than the competitor.
