TO-4 Fluid - Transmission and Drive Train

Heavy duty off-highway


TO-4 Fluids are specifically formulated SAE 10, SAE 30 and 50 oils designed to meet Caterpillar’s latest Transmission and Drive Train Lubricant specifications. TO-4 supersedes and replaces Caterpillar TO-2 requirements. TO-4 provides improved clutch life when compared to the previous TO-2 Fluid, along with improved control of gear wear in SAE 30 for transmissions, gear boxes and SAE 50 for final drive trains. TO-4 has outstanding hydraulic oil stability and allows protection against high-pressure pump wear.

The recommended OEM drain interval and viscosity grade should always be followed for the specific machines oil compartments.

This product cannot be used as a THF/Wet brake oil in agriculture equipment. Ag-Master tractor hydraulic fluid is designed for this application.

Features & benefits

  • Improved clutch life: Up to 45% over TO-2 fluids. Balanced static/dynamic friction provides clutch durability and maximum power transfer throughout the service interval giving greater equipment productivity.
  • Wear protection: Outstanding shear stability, viscosity retention and increased film strength provides reduced wear on gears, bearings and clutches to give longer transmission life and less down time.
  • High temperature protection: Provides excellent thermal, oxidation, sludge, corrosion, and deposit protection for increased transmission temperatures, severe service and extended oil life.
  • Low temperature fluidity: Superior cold temperature flow characteristics ensures ease of pumping, reduced wear and good shifting capabilities, even at extremely low temperatures.
