CASTROL BOT 130 M

DESCRIPTION:
Castrol BOT 130 M is a full synthetic SAE 75W-90 transmission fluid.

APPLICATION:
Castrol BOT 130 M can be recommended for most manual transmissions where API GL-1 to GL-4 oils are
required. BOT 130 M meets Ford's fill-for-life requirements mainly for use in their Fiesta and Escort (B 5 and iB
5) manual transmissions.

BENEFITS / FEATURES:

Longer oil and component life permit extended drain and decreased servicing.
Fuel Saving potential less fuel consumption means lower emission.
Reduced repair costs.
Better environmental compatible easier waste oil disposal and re-cyclability.
Suitable for use oil all Ford approved synchronizer material.
Improved shift comfort and prevention of synchronizer clash during gear at all ambient temperatures and
operating conditions.
Smoother gearshift at low temperatures due to reduced shifting forces.
Reduced torque loss increases efficiency over all transmission load ranges.
Increased wear protection of synchronizer and bearings during start-up phase.
Lower power input means fuel saving potential and reduced emissions.
Optimal lubrication of transmission component enhances performance and life.
Maintains noise reduction (e.g. in gear rattle; idling rattle), improving driver satisfaction.
Helps avoid oil leakages.
Excellent temperature reduction through reduced friction.
Free from chlorine and heavy metals.
Excellent synchronizer performance and maintained frictional properties during lifetime.
Excellent cold flow properties.
Excellent thermal and oxidative stability.
Good shear stability.
Good seal compatibility
