GCastrol /BENEFITS
‘The extensive testing required for Allison C4, Caterpillar TO-4 and
Komatsu Micro clutch fluids has shown that CASTROL TFC 400 SERIES
achieves excellent performance results in terms ot.
Features
Oxidation stability.
Excellent fricion performance with more than
ten different friction material combinations.
Power steering pump wear protection
Rust and corrosion protection
Copper corrosion protection.
Clutch plate lite.
‘Seal compatibility on the four major types of
clasiomers.
* ritrile, polyacrylate, silicone,
fluoroclastomer (viton)
Benefits
Maintains high temperature performance and
transmission oleanliness during service lif.
Ensures smoath, positive changes with enhanced
‘fiction material durabi
Long pump life.
Protects highly polished and finished surtaces.
Extended thrust and plain bearing life.
Proven compatability with friction material binders
and adhesives assists in increasing service life of
clutch plates and wet brakes. (Most beneft will be
achieved when these products are used from now.
Helps oll seals remain serviceable and so minimises
ail oaks,HEALTH, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT
CASTROL TFC 400 SERIES is considered non-hazardous
according to Worksafe. However, in line with safe handling
practices, it is recommended that the handling instruction outlined! in
‘she Castrol Material Safety Data Sheet bo followed.
Spillage:
‘Small; Soak up using an inert mineral absorbent such as
Castrol Diatomaceous Earth and dispose of in the
appropriate manner.
Large: Corrective action usually dictated by individual
company safety procedures. Immediate containment
and subsequent removal is essential
Disposal: Oily materials must no: be allowed 70 enter ground
‘water, water courses, sewerage or drainage systems.
Refer t0 local Waste Disposal Authority for legal
requirements.
PRODUCT REMOVAL
Bare Metal Surfaces: Remove with Castrol solvent cleaners or
water based degreasers.
Hand Cleaning Use any of the Castrol range of hand
cleaners, e.g. CareClean Plus.
Other Surfaces: Contact your local Special Products
Division in each State Office.Consul your equipment manual for exact model requirements
regarding the correct viscosity.
For Allison WT Series transmissions, use a fluid meeting the Dexron
specification,
NOTE: Ambient Temperature Range explanation
The minimum means the lowest recommended start-up
temperature.
‘The maximum means the highest expected ambient (air)
temperature.
expected ambient temperature range is wider than for any
nominated viscosity grade, use the closest higher viscosity grade
and allow at least 5 -10 minutes for warm up.

grades is approximately 1.6%.PRODUCT APPLICATION
‘The CASTROL TFC 400 SERIES are recommended for automatic,
powershift or manual transmissions where Allison C2, C3 or C4,
Caterpillar TO-2 or TO-4, Komatsu Micro clutch, API GL1, 2 &3 or
(CF) engine oils are specified. The CASTROL TFC SERIES are also
suitable for use in hydraulic systems where the appropriate SAE
grades are specified, CASTROL TFC 450 supersedes CRB 50 and
ST 90 in heavy duty truck transmission applications. CASTROL TFC
460 is recommended for use in some Caterpillar final drives, and
only in equipment which is involved in continuous operation, this
being due to the lengthy start up procedures specified by Caterpillar
when using SAE 60 oils.
