carlosbeldia Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Hi there. I'm working in a Castrol import company, so I have the option for buying BOT 402 MTF instead of Texaco MTF 94. However, reviewing technical sheet for both of them, I find they are really differents, but I don't know how to read their values, can anybody help me with this?

Aragorn Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 The castrol oil appears to have a much higher viscosity (thickness) when cold, and a slightly higher viscosity when hot. I'd imagine it would probably cause shift issues. Apparently Castrol SMX 75w80 is a better match for MTF94 edit: having said that, it seems the castrol oil (Actually called SMX-S) is a 75w85 and is still a bit thicker when cold than the proper oil.

carlosbeldia Posted August 4, 2010 Author Share Posted August 4, 2010 So I better stick with MTF94...... right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratty43 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 I use SMX-S in my Disco's box (LT77) and have found it to be a vast improvemant over ATF, none of the notchy changes that were there on ATF when cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
