Description

Castrol Optigear Synthetic 1300/220 is a high-performance synthetic gear oil engineered for the lubrication of highly loaded gear systems and anti-friction bearings in severe service conditions. It differs from conventional mineral gear oils by offering excellent oxidation and thermal stability, outstanding shearing stability, and consistent viscosity-temperature behavior, enabling it to perform reliably at elevated operating and reservoir temperatures.

The formulation uses polyglycol base fluids, which are selected for their chemical and thermal stability and for compatibility with typical machine metals. The oil demonstrates excellent load-carrying capacity, extreme pressure performance, and protection against wear and scuffing, making it well suited for industrial gearboxes with mixed loads and temperatures. It is compatible with most industrial elastomer seals, though care should be taken with certain materials such as neoprene and butadiene-based elastomers.

Available in a 208 L drum, this grade is ideal for large industrial gear systems, circulating gear oil installations, or settings where frequent re-fill isn’t practical.

Key Features & Benefits

  • ISO VG 220 viscosity: Optimised for heavy-duty gear lubrication across a broad temperature range.

  • High oxidation & thermal stability: Reduces oil degradation at elevated temperatures.

  • Outstanding load-carrying ability & extreme pressure performance: Helps protect gears under shock loads and high stress.

  • Excellent shear stability: Maintains viscosity and performance under mechanical stress.

  • Compatible with most industrial seal materials: Simplifies use in a variety of gearboxes (avoid certain elastomers like neoprene).

  • Long service life: Synthetic base and additives help extend oil change intervals and reduce maintenance.

Typical Applications

  • Heavy-load industrial gearboxes: Particularly where temperatures are high or loads are severe.

  • Worm gear sets: Especially steel/bronze configurations where surface protection is critical.

  • Circulating gear oil systems that lubricate gears, journals, and bearings.

  • Spur, bevel, and planetary gears in manufacturing, processing, or material handling equipment

Performance Benefits

  • Enhanced wear protection: Helps reduce gear surface fatigue and scuffing under high loads.

  • Reliable high-temperature performance: Supports consistent lubrication at elevated operating temperatures.

  • Extended oil life: Synthetic formulation resists degradation longer than many mineral oils.
