POWERSHIFT TRANSMISSION FLUID
Caterpillar TO-4 Fluid for Off-Highway Equipment
Kendall® Powershift Transmission Fluid is a high-performance multifunctional fluid developed for use in transmissions, final drives, and hydraulic systems of off-highway equipment where a fluid must meet the performance requirements of Caterpillar TO-4. Our Powershift Transmission Fluid provides substantially improved friction and antiwear performance compared to older API CD/TO-2 rated fluids. This improved friction performance results in prolonged equipment life and reduced risk of field failure. The SAE 10W and 30 viscosity grades may be used in Allison off-highway heavy duty automatic transmissions that require C-4 quality fluids.
Powershift Transmission Fluid contains state-of-the-art additive technology that provides improved deposit control, corrosion protection, and load-carrying capacities for better equipment protection and improved reliability. This fluid has carefully optimized frictional properties to prevent clutch slippage for smoother, more consistent transmission operations and wet brake performance.

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.
