Description:

PRODURO FD-1 Synthetic is a Caterpillar FD-1 type lubricant that provides improved gear and bearing life in final drives and axles. Oils meeting the FD-1 specification are preferred by Caterpillar in final drives and axles that do not contain friction material and that historically specified TO-4 oils. PRODURO FD-1 Synthetic should not be used in compartments containing friction material unless an FD-1 type of product is specified. For applications where friction material is present, Petro-Canada recommends PRODURO TO-4 Fluids.

Produro FD-1 Synthetic axle fluid starts with a blend of base oils which includes PetroCanada's ultra pure severely hydrocracked base oils and specialty selected additives to give outstanding performance and extended oil drain intervals.

Features & benefits:

• Extended component life • Specially formulated to protect gears and bearings against wear in severe duty applications • Improved extreme-pressure (EP) performance when compared to TO-4 type fluids

• Extended drain intervals • Recommended drain interval of up to 6000 hours for off-highway trucks final drive and rear axles instead of the 2000 hour interval typically recommended for TO-4 fluids*

• Better performance at both high and low temperatures • Improved performance compared to conventional FD-1 SAE 60 products

• Improved rust and corrosion protection • Iron and other metal components protected against water damage

• Excellent protection from foaming • Eliminates or reduces foaming

• Compatible with TO-4 type fluids and Caterpillar seals

• Superior low-temperature properties

Applications:

PRODURO FD-1 Synthetic Axle Oil is the preferred option for CAT final drive and axles, especially when extended oil drain life is desired.

PRODURO FD-1 Synthetic oil can be used in Caterpillar final drives and axles that previously specified TO-4 lubricants and do not contain friction material and/or wet brakes. This product is not for use in engines, transmissions or hydraulic systems. PRODURO FD-1 Synthetic is not formulated to develop a sufficient friction coefficient to satisfy the requirements of most clutches and brakes.

Specific applications include the differentials and final drives of off-highway tractors, offhighway trucks, front wheels of off-highway trucks and, the final drives of most large tracktype tractors, most pipelayers and track skidders that have steel tracks and elevated final drives. Please refer to the most recent Caterpillar Machine Fluid Recommendations SEBU 6250 for detailed information and specific exceptions.

PRODURO FD-1 Synthetic meets the performance attributes of Caterpillar FDAO Synthetic oil.
