POWERDRIVE® FLUID

CATERPILLAR TO-4 FLUID FOR OFF-HIGHWAY EQUIPMENT

Phillips 66® PowerDrive Fluid is a high-performance multifunctional fluid developed for use in transmissions, final drives and hydraulic systems of off-highway equipment where a fluid meeting Caterpillar TO-4 performance requirements is specified. It provides substantially improved friction and antiwear performance compared with older API CD/TO-2 quality fluids, resulting in longer equipment life and reduced risk of field failure. The SAE 10W and 30 viscosity grades also are recommended for use in Allison off-highway heavy-duty automatic transmissions where a C-4 quality fluid is specified.

POWERDRIVE® FLUID

Features & Benefits

  • Well-balanced frictional properties for efficient clutch operation and improved wet brake performance
  • Excellent oxidation resistance and thermal stability for long fluid life
  • High load-carrying capacity for protection of final drive gear sets
  • Excellent deposit control and wear protection
  • Protects yellow metals against corrosion
  • High shear stability
  • Compatible with a wide variety of seals and friction materials
  • Good low-temperature properties
  • Good foam resistance

Applications

  • Powershift transmissions, hydrostatic transmissions, torque converters, final drives and hydraulic systems of Caterpillar, Euclid, Komatsu and other off-highway construction and mining equipment
  • Heavy-duty automatic transmissions where the OEM specifies an Allison C-4 quality fluid
  • Heavy-duty manual and semi-automatic transmissions in trucks and buses where the OEM specifies a Caterpillar TO-4 quality fluid or a heavy-duty engine oil

    Note: Typically, the SAE 10W and 30 viscosity grades are recommended for hydraulic systems and transmissions, and the SAE 50 viscosity grade is recommended for differentials, final drives and heavy-duty manual transmissions. Refer to the OEM recommendations for selection of the proper viscosity grade.
