Offers many important benefits, including exceptional anti-wear protection. The slightly tacky nature of the product helps it cling to gears extremely well and absorbs shock load produced by variations in load and drive, engine torsional activity or vibration, shifting and wheel slip. Will also reduce the impact caused by the meshing of gears, particularly on start-up.

In fact, it has passed the CRC L-20 axle test used to define the API GL-4 high torque requirement. It showed no pitting in gear testing, while the test allowed two to four inches of pitting length. Axle test showed less than 5 micrometers wear with UTF RED even though the test allowed up to 86 micrometers of wear.

Its formulation has a superior anti-wear zinc additive level of .20, which is four to five times the zinc found in most conventional oils. As a result of this extra anti-wear enrichment,  in the Eaton-Vickers Ring and Vane Wear Test, it showed impressive results. After this 150 hour test is run on an oil, the total weight loss of the cam ring and vanes is measured. UTF RED greatly exceeded this test, with results showing less than 50% of the allowable wear to the ring and vanes.

Fluid oxidation is a chemical reaction between the fluid and oxygen. It can be responsible for viscosity increase, varnish formation, sludge and sediment formation, additive depletion, base oil breakdown, filter plugging, loss in anti-foam properties, acid number increase, as well as rust and corrosion. Controlling oxidation is a significant challenge in trying to extend the lubricants life. Texas Refinery Corp. uses new generation base oils that are more oxidation stable and a much greater quantity of powerful anti-oxidation chemistry than is necessary to pass equipment manufacturers test.

Handles high temperatures and provides severe oxidation protection. Testing procedures for the Allison specification requires a minimum 320°F. flash point. Has a typical Flash Point of 485°F., providing a much higher degree of protection against high temperatures and oxidation.

Great for suppressing brake chatter in equipment like farm tractors. In the New Holland (Ford 7610 Test), UTF RED provided a 20% reduction in decibel rating in this particular wet brake chatter suppression test. In the John Deere JDQ 41/42 test, it provided a 56% reduction in total chatter. This means it suppresses brake chatter, but does so in a manner that does not rob the brakes of their needed capacity.

Liquids are basically incompressible, but when air bubbles are introduced into a system, it becomes a problem. Since air is compressible, a fluid contaminated with air bubbles, compresses and does not transmit full pressure in a hydraulic system.

Texas Refinery Corp. faces this problem head-on by incorporating large amounts of excellent foam inhibitors in UTF RED - - when the foam is kept to a  minimum, operation will not be hampered. Temperatures can be reduced, film thickness of the oil can be maintained, pressures and power in the system can be optimized.

The outstanding foam inhibitors in UTF RED also provide additional benefits - -  the reduction of pump cavitation. If a fluid foams, this leaves air cavities in the liquid and the fluid does not entirely fill the space provided for it in the pump. This creates an action similar to an implosion which chips away small particles of the metal parts of the pump, adds excessive noise and causes pump vibration. A pump that is allowed to continually cavitate will soon have some seriously eroded parts, not to mention sluggish or erratic operation.

Formulated to provide the ultimate in protection against pump cavitation. Systems using UTF RED will run cooler, operate with less noise, and the system will operate at peak efficiency.
