JCB HP Plus Axle Oil (4000/2205) – Wet Brake Protection
Specialized transmission fluid in a 20-liter container, designed for heavy-duty drivetrains in construction machinery. This product meets the strict JCB HP Plus (High Performance) standard, making it the ideal choice for JCB backhoe loaders and telehandlers.
The key feature of this oil is its specific additive package (friction modifiers), essential for the proper operation of wet brakes (brake discs immersed in oil). Using standard gear oil in these systems leads to brake chatter, noise, vibration, and ultimately, overheating and failure.
Key Benefits & Application:
- ✅ HP Plus Formula: Prevents brake chatter and squawk noise from axles during braking.
- ✅ Gear Protection: Provides excellent lubrication for differentials, wheel hubs (reduction gears), and main transmissions under heavy loads.
- ✅ Viscosity Stability: Maintains a protective oil film even at high operating temperatures typical for heavy-duty field work.
Compatibility (JCB Machines):
The 4000/2205 oil is the factory standard for axles and hubs in:
- JCB 3CX (all generations)
- JCB 4CX
- JCB 5CX
- JCB Loadall Telehandlers (531, 535, 540 series, etc.)
- JCB Wheeled Excavators (JS series axles)
- JCB Site Dumpers
⚠️ Important Service Note:
Do not mix this oil with standard gear oils (e.g., EP80W90) if the machine is equipped with wet brakes. Using incorrect oil may result in loss of braking power or damage to the friction discs.
