Delo Syn-THF XC
High performance synthetic wet brake transaxle fluid
Delo Syn-THF XC is a high performance synthetic wet brake transaxle fluid designed for applications where a Volvo WB 102 fluid is required. It is also suitable for use in applications that require a John Deere JDM J20C or J20D fluid.
Applications
- Delo Syn-THF XC is designed for use in the axles of off-road and construction machines that are equipped with built-in wet brakes. The amount of EP additive used in the formulation of Delo Syn-THF XC is higher than is typically used in products of this type, providing increased gear protection
- The oxidation stability of the synthetic base oils in the formulation means that compared to conventional fluids, Delo Syn-THF XC offers significantly longer service intervals; and its temperature resistance means that it may be used in more arduous operating conditions
- The low temperature characteristics of Delo Syn-THF XC offer a significant reduction in the warm-up period before the machine is ready to operate
- Delo Syn-THF XC has a lower kinematic viscosity than is typical for fluids used in this type of application - it has been optimised to help improve machine efficiency while still providing protection to machine components. The high Viscosity Index means that the fluid has a wide operating temperature window. It is achieved by a formulating the product with synthetic base oils with a naturally high VI, plus a highly shear stable Viscosity Index Improver. This combination promotes the maintenance of the viscosity and VI at a consistent level through the fluid’s service lifetime
Customer benefits
- Offers good extended drain intervals compared to conventional wet brake transaxle fluids
- High performance shear stable additive system promotes increased gear protection with viscosity retention throughout fluid lifetime
- Formulated for low temperature fluidity, providing faster cold starts and optimised viscosity, offering improved fuel economy
- High Viscosity Index, promoting sufficient oil viscosity retention for effective lubrication even at high operating temperatures
- Good oxidation stability, helping resist the formation of harmful sludge, lacquer or deposits
