Donax TC – Caterpillar TO-4 fluid


As equipment designs change to improve durability and efficiency, lubricants must be designed to keep pace. Caterpillar have redesigned their powershift transmissions incorporating new frictional materials in their clutches and also have changed brake materials. These materials are no longer compatible with many engine oils traditionally recommended in these applications.


Donax TC fluid was specifically designed for modern Caterpillar transmissions. It provides excellent compatibility with transmission components and premium frictional characteristics to maximize equipment performance. It was also one of the first fluids to be Caterpillar TO -4 approved in North America.


Donax TC fluid is available as an SAE 10W, 30, 50 and 60 grades to exceed your seasonal needs.
