        There is no crossover to SAE or API. Is this for the dozer?

        Engine oil:

        Any brand 15W-40 motor oil that meets API Services CJ-4, CI-4, CH-4.

         

        Shuttle clutch:

        Any brand ISO AW 220 Machine oil (This oil has an AGMA rating of 5, and is indicated for geared friction drives).

         

        Transmission and bevel gear compartment:

        Any brand 80W-90 gear oil that meets API Services MT-1 and GL-5.

         

        Final drives:

        Any brand 85W-140 gear oil that meets API Services MT-1 and GL-5.

         

        Hydraulic oil:

        Any brand ISO AW 32 or ISO AW-46. FWIW: I personally use and recommend multi-grade ISO AW 32/46/68. It compensates for ambient summer/winter temperature changes, and reduces inventory. I use it in both dozers, skid steer, and excavator.

        If any qualified lubrication engineer disputes my recommendations, please contact me. readin
