Explanation
CASTROL OPTITEMP ™ XBT 1 LF is a lubricant designed for overloads in all types of constant speed connections. Completely
the synthetic product has excellent high and low temperature properties. Thanks to special additives
reduced friction coefficient saves fuel. The product further lowers the temperature at the joint and
improves noise and vibration behavior (NVH). Compatibility with traditional boot materials is excellent.
Application
Application in homokinetic ball and tripod joints (MoS2 free)
Suitable for connections in side shafts and high-speed connections in propeller shafts.
All kinds of vehicles where” fuel economy " is required.
Vehicles where periodic axial forces in the Joint have a direct effect on driving comfort.
The joints are subjected to high mechanical and thermal loads.
Application at extreme temperatures:
-40 ° C low temperature
Constant temperature of 160 ° C (in CV joints)
Maximum temperature of 180 ° C (in CV joints)
In high slip friction components.
Advantages
Wide range of application
Extremely wide temperature range
High service life, excellent wear behavior
Very low friction coefficients
Excessive reduction in axial forces at the joint
Good oxidation stability
Optimal boot compatibility with CR and Hytrel
"Fuel economy "” up to 0.05 l / 100 km in some cases)
Significant drop in operating temperatures
Low evaporation losses
