Cat TDTO-TMS (Transmission/Drive Train Oil-Transmission Multi-Season)
Cat TDTO-TMS exceeds the requirements of the Cat TO-4M transmission/drive train oil Performance Requirements by passing additional Cat tests.Cat TDTO-TMS is synthetic multigrade oil that is developed to provide optimal performance in transmissions, wet brakes, final drives, and hydraulic compartments that must operate in wide range of temperatures. Cat TDTO-TMS can be used in Cat machine compartments where Cat TO-4 and TO-4M oils are recommended. This oil can be used in other manufacturer machines that recommend TO-4 or TO-4M Performance Requirements oils.TDTO-TMS is specifically formulated to reduce transmission gears wear, improve the performance and efficiency of transmissions in cold weather, especially for machines with electronic controls, and to ensure long life and excellent performance for gears, bearings, and friction disc materials.
Cat Transmission oils are formulated for transmissions and drive trains only, and should not be used in engines. Shortened engine life will result.
Do not use the Cat GO (Gear Oil) or commercial gear oil in the machine compartments unless specifically recommended by Caterpillar. The gear oil can cause seals to fail. The seals 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.
Commercial Transmission/Drive Train Oils
Note: Non-Caterpillar commercial oils are as a group typically second or third choice oils. Within this grouping of second and/or third choice oils there are typically tiered levels of performance.
Cat does not warrant the quality or performance of non-Cat fluids.
Commercial oils that are substituted for the Cat TDTO must comply with the requirements of the Cat TO-4 or the Cat TO-4M transmission/drive train oil Performance Requirements.Note: Commercial multigrade oils must meet the requirements of the Cat TO-4M specification to be used in transmissions. Multigrade oils that use high molecular weight polymers as viscosity index improvers may lose the viscosity effectiveness. This effectiveness may be lost by the temporary shear of the polymer viscosity index improver. Permanent shear of the polymer viscosity index improver may also occur. These types of multigrade oils are not recommended for Caterpillar drive train compartments. The Cat TO-4M Performance Requirements include a test for the shear stability of multigrade oil.Cat SATO (Special Application Transmission Oil)
Cat Special Application Transmission Oil (SATO) is multi-grade, semi-synthetic oil. This new Cat oil is introduced for use in all medium wheel loaders for factory fill and service fill.Cat SATO is applicable in all Medium Wheel Loader, including but not limited to the following models:
966K XE, 966M XE, 972M XE (Advanced Power Train Transmission)
950M, 962M, 966M, 972M, 980M, 982M (Powershift Transmission)Note: Cat SATO should not be used in lower power train components including final drives, axles, and differentials.Cat SATO offers the following benefits:
Excellent cold start performance.
Improved oxidation stability compared to the semi-synthetic base stocks.
Extended oil drain interval for powershift transmissions. The oil drain interval is 2000 hrs for SATO compared to 1000 hrs for TDTO 10 or 30.For the wheel loaders filled with SATO, topping off with other products from the Cat TDTO family
