ConocoPhillips Lubricants announced last week
that the upgrade of its TO-4 transmission oil
products line to meet the increasing demands
for higher performance fluids in today's
heavy duty machinery. As part of the
upgrade, the current line featuring Conoco
PowerDrive Fluid, Phillips 66 Torque Fluid,
76 Lubricants HT/4 Fluid and Kendall
Powershift Transmission Fluid will be
enhanced with a state-of-the-art additive
technology that provides better equipment
protection and improved performance while
increasing productivity through reduced
equipment maintenance and related downtime,
according to Reginald Dias, Director,
Commercial Products Lubricants,
ConocoPhillips Company.
"We're pleased to be the leader in the
industry to recognize the evolving needs of
today's heavy duty equipment operators, and
proactively address the wear and tear that
modern machinery endures with our advanced
additive technology," said Dias.
"ConocoPhillips Lubricants' upgraded
transmission fluids not only meet or exceed
the current industry specifications; they
also provide elevated performance in friction
control, load carrying capacity and the
protection of hydraulic systems."
The new TO-4 fluids come in several different
viscosity grades for use in the final drive
gear box (heavy), transmission (medium) and
hydraulics (light) systems. The revised
fluids directly replace the previous
generation fluids and set a higher
performance standard for lubricants used in
loaders, graders, dozers, large trucks and
other off-highway machinery, including
construction, extraction and mining. The
product upgrade was specifically designed to
increase productivity and safety while
eliminating downtime and maintenance needs.
The upgraded TO-4 fluids will be available
starting end of June.
"ConocoPhillips Lubricants identified a need
for upgrading these transmission oils,
expanding their capabilities and, most
importantly, meeting our customers' needs,"
adds Dias. "Ultimately, these lubricants
will help our customers become more
successful by keeping their machines in
optimum working order longer."
