Product Description
Mobiltrans AST (All Season Transmission) is an extra high performance
drivetrain lubricant engineered to meet Caterpillar's new TO-4 performance
specifications for off-highway transmissions, drive trains, and hydraulic
systems. This advanced technology lubricant provides clutch and brake
compatibility and extended life that has not been possible with previous
formulations. Mobiltrans AST incorporates a blend of semi-synthetic base oils
with an advanced additive system. The product is recommended for all-season
lubrication all drivetrain components in light to severe duty off-highway
equipment operating in a wide range of environments.
Features and Benefits
Today's technology has vastly improved the performance capabilities of
heavy-duty off-highway equipment in terms of load, speed, control, and
performance through innovative drivetrain designs. These designs have
increased the requirements of drivetrain fluids to deliver higher performance,
increased productivity, and reduced operating costs. For heavy-duty
transmissions, friction control, wear protection, thermal stability, shear
stability, rust and corrosion protection, and seal compatibility are features
that must be optimally balanced to provide extended gear and synchroniser
life, smooth shift control, fuel economy, and high load capability over a wide
range of applications. Mobiltrans AST delivers exceptional performance in
today's power train components including haul truck final drives with
year-round application. The key benefits include:
