Product Description
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Delo® TorqForce® FD SAE 60 is a premium heavy-duty gear lubricant specifically designed for use in final drives and axles of modern Caterpillar off-road equipment operating in severe service, where fluids meeting the Cat FD-1 specification are recommended.
CUSTOMER BENEFITS
Delo TorqForce FD SAE 60 delivers value through:
• Maximizes equipment life in severe service — Advanced additive system minimizes wear in heavily loaded gears and bearings by forming a strong protective layer on metal surfaces under extreme service conditions.
• Prolongs oil life — Extremely high thermal and oxidation stability protects against viscosity increase and deposit formation. Drain interval of 6,000 hours is recommended (compare to typical 2,000 hour drain interval for Cat TO-4 fluids).
• Minimizes unscheduled maintenance — Effective rust and corrosion inhibitors protect final drive components. Good viscosity characteristics at low temperatures ensure rapid oil circulation on start-up, preventing premature component wear.
• Excellent foam protection — Works to avoid fluid loss due to foaming.
• Long equipment life — Fluid film with special additives helps protect metal surfaces against pitting, scuffing and wear, even under severe operating conditions of high temperature and high load.
• Warranty Plus protection — Bumper-to-bumper warranty protection from the engine to the drive train. Payment for Chevron lubricant-related damage to your equipment, including parts and labor.
FEATURES
Delo TorqForce FD SAE 60 is designed specifically for heavy-duty final drives and axles in severe service. It exhibits significantly improved performance versus TO-4 fluids in the area of gear protection, resistance to macropitting, improved corrosion protection and foam stability.
For customers who have final drive applications where the fluid also lubricates oil-immersed brakes or clutches from a common sump system, please use Delo TorqForce SAE 50 (Caterpillar TO-4). Additionally, Chevron’s Delo TorqForce FD SAE 60 should not be used in powershift transmissions since it doesn’t contain key friction modifiers required for high friction materials found in these systems.
APPLICATIONS
• Final drives, axles, differentials and front wheels of Caterpillar equipment where Cat FD-1 performance fluid is specified. It is not suitable where a common sump is used for lubricating final drive gears, and immersed brakes or clutches. • Caterpillar Mining and Aggregate Haul Trucks • Caterpillar Wheel and Track Mining Loaders & Dozers • Caterpillar Wheel Scrapers • Caterpillar Wheel and Track Fellers • Caterpillar Wheel and Track Skidders • Caterpillar Knuckleboom Loaders Delo TorqForce FD SAE 60 meets or exceeds the Caterpillar FD-1 specification.
