Gear Lubricants Product Data castrol.com/GPS 800 255 4417 May 2025 GPS Castrol ® Alphasyn T™ e Castrol Alphasyn T gear oil range of synthetic lubricants is based on polyalpha-olefin (PAO) fluids and sulphur/phosphorus anti-wear additive technology providing outstanding thermal stability and good load carrying capacity. Application Alphasyn T is suitable for various applications where a lubricating oil is used under high temperatures, e.g. from hydraulic systems through to large, slow moving gears. All products in the Alphasyn T range have very low pour points and excellent viscosity and temperature characteristics, allowing their use in both low and high temperature applications. e Alphasyn T range is fully compatible with nitrile, silicone and fluropolymer seal materials. Alphasyn T is also suitable for bearings and circulatory systems operating at high temperatures. e Alphasyn T range has been formulated for use in most types of light to medium duty enclosed gear systems, but should not be used for heavy or shock loaded systems. Features and Benefits Castrol Alphasyn T is a PAO based lubricant that provides good compatibility with seals, paints and mineral oil based lubricant. Castrol AlphasynT offers the following benefits: • Good thermal and oxidative stability, providing reliable operation and extended operating life when com- pared to mineral oil based products. • Inherently high viscosity index (VI), making the product suitable for operations operating over a wide temperature range. • Good anti-wear and load carrying abilities, minimizing gear wear and prolongs gear tooth life. • Reduced down time through water separation and demulsification characteristics, resulting in prolonged lubricant life and increased equipment reliability. Classifications Alphasyn T is classified as follows: • DIN Classification is CL Industry Specifications and OEM Approvals Alphasyn T grades meet the requirements of: • DIN 51517 Parts 2 • David Brown Type A E17 I ecastrof
