 Final Drive and Axle Oils
A New Level of Performance

01-01-10 © 2011 The Lubrizol Corporation OH101-2

 Final Drive and Axle Oils

• Introduced FDAO to replace transmission/drive train oil

(TDTO) or TO-4 in final drives and axles
• TDTO/TO-4
– Provides excellent oxidation stability, foam, rust control and
cleanliness
– Protects gears and bearings satisfactorily
– Develops high friction coefficients to allow engagements of
brakes and clutches under both static and dynamic conditions
• FDAO provides improved gear and bearing life in final
drives and axles

08-24-10 © 2011 The Lubrizol Corporation OH101-3

 Caterpillar Final Drive Axle Oil FD-1

• Final Drive and Axle Oil (FDAO) is classified by

CAT FD-1 Specification
– Designed for high load and high temperature applications
– FD-1 oils are compatible with CAT TDTO and CAT T0-4 oils
– Extended oil drain interval over CAT TO-4 oil
– SAE 50 and 60 viscosity grades

• FD-1 oils are without friction modification

– Use is in highly loaded final drives and axles that DO NOT contain friction
material.
– FD-1 oils DO NOT develop the high friction coefficient needed to satisfy
brake and clutch applications.
– Cannot be used in CAT TO-4 Transmissions and Hydraulics
– FDAO currently NOT recommended for any compartment that
contains friction materials (wet brake or transmissions)
08-24-10 © 2011 The Lubrizol Corporation OH101-14
 Final Drive and Axle Oils

• Caterpillar FDAO used as

factory-fill for differential, front
wheels and final drives of
Caterpillar off-highway trucks
– Off-highway truck final drive and rear
axles
• Oil change interval extended to
4,000 hours when FDAO or FD-1 is
used
• TDTO oil change interval remains
2,000 hours
– Off-highway truck front wheels
• Oil interval change is 500 hours for
oils that meet FD-1 or TO-4
