Caterpillar TransmissionDrive Train Oil
Caterpillar TransmissionDrive Train Oil is balanced in order to give maximum frictional material life in power shift transmissions. Caterpillar Transmission Drive Train Oil also
eliminates brake chatter in wet brake applications in Caterpillar machines. This oil has passed the requirements for the TO-4 oil specification which includes the frictional
requirements and gear wear requirements. This oil is offered in several viscosity grades for maximum component life at high ambient temperatures and for heavy-duty
cycles.
NOTICE This oil is formulated for transmissions and drive trains only, and should not be used in engines. Shortened engine life will result.
Note: Do not use the Caterpillar Gear Oil in the machines that are listed above. The Gear Oil can cause seal material to fall. The seal material can also leak. The Gear Oil
may not be compatible with friction materials. The oil can reduce the efficiency of the transmission and the brake performance.
Note: Multigrade oils are not blended by Caterpillar for use in transmissions. Multigrade oils which use high molecular weight polymers as polymer viscosity index
improvers lose the viscosity effectiveness by temporary shear of the polymer viscosity index improver and by permanent shear of the polymer viscosity index improver.
Multigrade oils are not recommended for these compartments. The TO-4 oil specifications do not include a test for the shear stability of multigrade oil. Multigrade
oils with adequate shear stability may be available in the future.
Commercial TransmissionDrive Train Oils
If Caterpillar TransmissionDrive Train Oil is not used, commercial oils that meet the TO- 4 specification must be used:
