Manufacturer's description
Cat FDAO (Final Drive Axle Oil) SAE 60 is a final drive and axle oil for off-highway trucks, large track-type tractors, pipelayers and track skidders. It is the preferred lubricant for Cat off-highway truck front wheels, differentials and final drives, and for large track-type tractor, pipelayer and track skidder final drives (steel-tracked machines with elevated final drives, except the D5M, D6M and 561M); it is compatible with Cat final drives and axles that previously specified TO-4 lubricants and contain no friction material. Developed, tested and approved by Caterpillar to meet the same standards as Genuine Cat Parts, Cat FDAO is used as standard factory-fill for Cat off-highway trucks and large track-type tractors. It allows double-length drain intervals in off-highway truck final drives compared with commercial TO-4 oils, and is formulated with minimal foaming to protect against the damaging effects of air. Typical characteristics: SAE 60 / ISO 320, Caterpillar Test FD-1, API gravity 25.9, flash point 255°C (491°F), pour point -15°C (5°F), kinematic viscosity 334 cSt at 40°C and 25.2 cSt at 100°C, viscosity index 97, Brookfield viscosity 75,000 cP at -10°C, and copper strip corrosion rating 1A.
Applications
- Preferred lubricant for Cat off-highway truck front wheels, differentials and final drives.
- Preferred lubricant for the final drives of large Cat track-type tractors, pipelayers and track skidders (steel-tracked machines with elevated final drives).
