Castrol Alpha VT 32 208L
Castrol Alpha™ VT 32 is a turbo transmission oil developed specifically for Voith Turbo transmissions, providing long service life and reliability, and is classified as Voith Index 1 for enhanced thermal oxidative stability. It is formulated for hydrokinetic transmissions used mainly in railway locomotives, hydrodynamic turbo couplings, turbo gears and combined turbo-coupling gears, as well as trucks and heavy off-highway equipment. Alpha VT 32 is also suitable for conventional industrial gearboxes requiring a low viscosity oil, delivering higher load carrying performance together with excellent oxidation resistance, anti-corrosion protection and minimal foaming, and is fully compatible with nitrile, silicone and fluoropolymer seal materials.
