Typical characteristics

Manufacturer's description

Cat MTO (Multipurpose Tractor Oil) is a tractor oil for multi-application use, intended per its safety data sheet as both a hydraulic fluid and a manual transmission fluid. It is used in older Cat Backhoe Loader rear axles and in Cat Challenger tractors. Where approved for use, it improves control and extends life in clutches and wet brakes, offers exceptional anti-wear properties that extend equipment and component life, can be used in temperatures as low as -13°F (-25°C), and simplifies maintenance by covering multiple compartments with a single oil, reducing inventory and the chance of using the wrong product. Its high thermal stability and oxidation resistance give it long service life in severe applications. Cat MTO meets a range of original equipment manufacturer specifications, including API GL-4, CNH MAT3525, Ford New Holland FNHA-2-C-201.00, Kubota UDT, Volvo WB 101/BM, and Agco Powerfluid 821 XL. It can also be substituted in applications requiring Allison C4 or Denison HF-0/HF-1/HF-2 (T5D & P46, agriculture applications only) fluids, and meets Ford specification ESN-M2C 134 D. As with other Cat Fluids, drain intervals can be extended and problems detected early using Cat S•O•S Services oil analysis together with Cat filters.

Standards & approvals

• AGCO POWERFLUID 821XL

  AGCO Power Fluid 821 XL — universal tractor fluid

  The AGCO specification for the universal fluid in its own tractors. A universal tractor transmission oil (UTTO): one fluid serves the transmission, the hydraulics and the wet brakes, so it must reconcile gear protection with stable, quiet brake friction.

• Case MS 1204

  Case works standard for tractor fluid (MS 1204)

  One of the Case (now CNH) MS 12xx works standards for the fluids used in its own tractors; part of the same family as MS 1206/1207/1209.Source

• MAT 3525

  CNH MAT 3525 — agricultural equipment fluid

  A CNH (Case New Holland) works standard for the fluids in its own tractors and machines, used to qualify oils through the dealer network.

• Ford ESN-M2C134-D

  Ford ESN-M2C134-D — universal tractor fluid

  Ford's specification for the single fluid serving tractor transmission, hydraulics and wet brakes: stable wet-brake friction and gear protection.

• Parker Denison HF-0

  Parker Denison HF-0 — hydraulic fluid, most severe level

  The most severe level of the Denison hydraulic fluid specification: the oil must pass the wear test on both a vane pump and a piston pump, dry and in the presence of water. HF-0 subsumes HF-1 and HF-2.

• VCE WB 101

  Volvo CE WB 101 — wet brake oil

  Volvo Construction Equipment's specification for oils in the transmissions and wet brakes of its own machines, where friction must stay stable and quiet.

• Vickers 35VQ-25

  Vickers 35VQ25 vane-pump wear test

  A vane-pump bench wear test (Eaton/Vickers) used to qualify anti-wear hydraulic fluids for high-pressure mobile pumps; a fluid 'meets 35VQ25' rather than being certified by Vickers itself.Source
