Castrol has launched two new high-performance fully synthetic fluids* designed for EVs that feature transmissions with wet e-motors.
Castrol ON EV Transmission Fluid W2 and W5 are demonstrated in bespoke testing and development to go further, charge faster and last longer*. The low-viscosity formulations of Castrol ON Transmission EV Fluid W2 and W5 have been specifically developed to deliver low electrical conductivity and enhanced system protection, helping the e-motor run at cooler temperatures and at optimal efficiency. Both products have been designed and extensively tested to handle the high torque outputs that EV motors can generate even from low speeds.
Castrol ON EV Transmission Fluid W2 has been developed for MG Motor, and is compatible with the MG HS Plug-in Hybrid and MG ZS EV.
Castrol ON EV Transmission Fluid D1 is compatible with the dry e-motors found in a range of Hyundai and Kia models, including the Kona Electric, Soul EV and Niro EV. This fluid can also be used in the GWM ORA 03. Castrol ON EV Transmission Fluid D2 is compatible with the majority of Volkswagen Group vehicles based on the MEB platform, including the Volkswagen ID.3, ID.4, ID.5 and ID.Buzz, Škoda Enyaq, Cupra Born and Tavascan, and Audi Q4 e-tron.
