Description
Castrol OptigearTM Synthetic X is based on synthetic hydrocarbons and a special plastic deformation (PD)
and surface improvement additive package.
The additive package, when activated by high specific loads and corresponding temperatures, helps to

bearings.
Depending on the specific application, Optigear Synthetic X may be used in an operating temperature
range from -30 °C to +95 °C.
