Bitron EP40 Powertrain & Gear Formulation is engineered to be compatible with gear oils, hydraulic oils as well as Automatic Transmission Fluids. It is designed to reduce friction in extreme pressure situations, contributing to a reduction in wear and tear and operating temperatures. Bitron EP40 Powertrain & Gear Formulation as a "Metal Treatment", coats the metal with a protective layer of molecules. It will actually be attracted to the "HOT SPOTS", of high wear because the extra friction creates extra heat and so extra negative charge, whereas conventional oil will run away from "Hot Spots". The reduction in friction leads to less waste of energy (energy lost in the form of heat & noise). This means that more energy is free to pass through the drive train providing an improvement in horsepower or power output at the wheels. HELPS to SAVES FUEL.

Bitron EP40 Powertrain & Gear Formulation is probably one of the more versatile products in the Bitron family. Its uniquely engineered pure hydrocarbon base makes it completely compatible with a wide range of different gear oils, bearing oils, & hydraulic oils including industrial machine shop; machining, drilling & cutting fluids.
Directions:--
Initial Treatment:--- If the condition of the oil in the reservoir to be treated is considered OK, then add the Bitron EP40 Powertrain & Gear Formulation at a ratio of 10% to the oil capacity of the reservoir being treated. 

Subsequent Treatments:-- Add Bitron EP40 Powertrain & Gear Formulation at the rate of 5% to the OIL capacity of the reservoir being treated with each oil change, as recommended, by the equipment manufacturer.

The Bitron needs to be reapplied only when the fluid is changed according to the manufacturer’s guidelines. If unsure of treatment ratios and special applications contact your distributor.

Bitron EP40 Powertrain & Gear Formulation is not compatible with brake fluids and should never be added to brake or clutch systems where brake fluid is used. 

Some Industrial Machines' "Wet Clutches" may FAIL if Bitron EP40 is used. Check with your Bitron Distributor.

Treatment results should include:
1. Smoother, faster shifting of gears in manual and automatic transmissions.
2. Reduction of transmission gear howl and vibration.
3. Less torque loss and increase in actual power to the drive train.
This product will not cause “slippage” in either manual or automatic transmissions. On the contrary, its use results in smoother, easier gear changes. Clutches need friction to operate – the clutch plates in an automatic transmission are bathed in transmission fluid but are fibrous or sintered bronze in their make up,and can be treated with Bitron. Bitron EP40 Powertrain & Gear Formulation as a "Metal Treatment" coats and protects the complex systems of metal gears that make up the remainder of any transmission or gearbox.

Bitron EP40 Powertrain & Gear Formulation will assist in the protection of the automatic transmission or gearbox from friction and reduce the heat build-up which destroys the effectiveness of the fluid (the major cause of failure). Note: Bitron is non-corrosive and cannot negatively affect the material of the seals or gaskets. It is a metal treatment and treats only the metal surfaces. Caution: Bitron will not restore damaged seals that are already hardened and cracked.
Points to note:
1. Automatic transmissions that have dirty fluid or have not been maintained regularly should be serviced by "flushing" out the System, before being treated with Bitron EP40 Powertrain & Gear Formulation.
2. Differentials or standard transmissions in which the OIL is considered to be OK, can be treated with Bi-tron EP40 at the rate of 10% Bitron EP40 to the volume of the OIL capacity in the case. OIL changes can be performed per manufacturers guidelines.
3. Do not overfill transmissions, differentials, transfer cases or power steering reservoirs.

Differentials, Gears and Transfer Cases:-- For regular, limited slip or Posi-Trac differentials, gears and transfer cases, mix at 5% Bitron EP40 Powertrain & Gear Formulation to the OIL capacity volume. Differentials are subjected to considerable heat and friction due to the loads and stress of gears. Laboratory tests and actual use have proven the Bitron decreases internal oil temperatures in differentials anywhere from 5-20 degrees C. The pressures in these systems are huge and the metal surfaces are subject to severe stresses. Bitron will not interfere with the biting points of these systems but will protect the metal from excessive wear.

Treatment results should include:
1. Reduced operating temperatures.
2. Reduced differential noise (gear howl).
Caution Bitron EP40 Powertrain & Gear Formulation is not intended for gears that have sheared or are on the verge of lock-up, unless this is due to overheating and has not yet resulted in welding.

Manual or power steering:
Bitron EP40 Powertrain & Gear Formulation is compatible with all steering units. Mix at 5% by volume of OIL capacity.

Treatment results should include:
1. Easier steering.
2. Increased pump flow in worn or dirty power steering units.
3. Increase in life expectancy of unit due to decreased wear.
Note: Bitron is not intended to restore mechanical failure.
Hydraulic systems:
Bitron EP40 Powertrain & Gear Formulation as a "Metal Treatment" is completely compatible with hydraulic oils, ONLY treats the metal, NOT the oil. It will coat the entire system with a protective layer, reducing operating temperatures and wear. Most of the heat in these systems is generated by extreme pressures. This heat will cause the metal to expand and so increase the level of friction and wear, which will then in turn contribute to the heat further expanding the metal, creating more friction and so on. You should check with the BITRON supplier as to amount of Bitron EP40 needed.
