Powershift and drive train oils

Valvoline DT TRANSMISSION oils are designed and recommended for applications requiring Caterpillar TO-4 or Allison C-4 specifications. Suitable for Caterpillar’s earth moving equipment with wet-brakes and available in multiple viscosity grades.

Heavy duty engine oils

Valvoline recommends choosing PREMIUM BLUE™. Premium Blue oils are uniquely formulated and specially developed for Cummins and other OEMs to offer superior performance to extend service intervals and to minimize the risk of downtime. If you need a good quality engine oil to be used across your fleet and that will simply do its job, then Valvoline recommends you to consider ALL-FLEET™ engine oils.

Driveline oils

For construction equipment requiring a GL-4 or GL-5 compliant lubricant, Valvoline offers a variety of MULTI-VEHICLE driveline lubricants for use in off-road gearboxes and differentials.

Coolants

For modern off-road equipment that is still in warranty, Valvoline recommends its OEM-approved coolants, ZEREX™ G-40 and G-48 or HD NITRITE FREE. For equipment out of warranty and/or mixed fleet applications, Valvoline recommends using HD EXTENDED LIFE.
