Description:

Petro-Canada's TRAXON XL Synthetic Blend 80W-140 is a premium multi-grade gear oil formulated for use in extreme high temperature operating conditions, where a GL-5 SAE 140 oil is called for, to provide excellent long-lasting wear protection to extend equipment life and reduce downtime and maintenance costs. TRAXON XL Synthetic Blend provides excellent year-round performance, particularly for colder weather conditions, for superior lubrication of gear drives found in manual transmissions and rear axles. TRAXON XL Synthetic Blend starts with the HT purity process to produce a 99.9% pure, crystal clear base oil. By removing the impurities that can hinder the performance of competitive conventional oils, and blending in specialty additives, TRAXON gear oil delivers maximum performance.

Features & Benefits:

Excellent wear protection

• Excellent shear stability and anti-wear EP additives protects equipment in tough, high-load, extreme high operating conditions for extended equipment life and reduced maintenance costs

• Shear stability ensures retention of viscosity which protects equipment components against metal-to-metal contact and wear, especially in high temperatures

• Anti-wear additives provide superior protection against gear tooth spalling (where flakes of metal break away from the surface of a gear tooth after repeated stress)

Longer Life

• TRAXON XL Synthetic Blend performs better than a GL-5 85W-140 as measured by the DKA oxidation test. Ultimately this translates into helping to reduce maintenance costs and increase uptime.

• Recommend extending intervals between changeouts up to 400,000 km (250,000 miles) for maximized oil life

• Minimizes sludge, varnish or hard carbon deposits for better protection against wear

Applications:

Petro-Canada TRAXON XL Synthetic Blend is recommended for year-round use particularly for cold temperature conditions in most manual transmissions, differentials, power take off units and final drives found on passenger cars, trucks, and off-highway vehicles used in construction, farm, forestry and mining operations. Consult owners manual for type and grade needed.

TRAXON XL Synthetic Blend exceeds API Gear Lubricant Service GL-5 and meets API MT-1 Gear Lubricant standard for heavy duty manual transmissions. TRAXON XL Synthetic Blend is recommended for most oil lubricated universal joints, wheel bearings, planetary gear sets, steering gears and certain industrial gear reducers requiring GL-3, GL- 4, or GL-5 oils.

Due to specific lubrication requirements TRAXON XL Synthetic Blend must not be used in:

• Automatic Transmissions

• Powershift Transmissions

• Hydrostatic drives and systems that include the lubrication of wet clutches and brakes

• Manual Transaxles on front wheel drive vehicles where an automatic transmission fluid or engine oil is specified

• Spicer Manual Transmissions where single grade engine oils are specified
