TEP-15 oil (GOST 23652-79) is produced on the basis of aromatized residual products and distillates. The functional properties of the oil are improved due to antiwear and depressant additives. It is used as an all-season transmission oil for tractors and other agricultural machinery in temperate climate region. The operating temperature range of TEP-15 oil is from -20 to + 100°С.
