ConocoPhillips Upgrades Transmission Oil Line

June 27, 2008 • ConocoPhillips Lubricants, Houston, Texas, recently upgraded its TO-4 transmission oil products line to meet the increasing demands for higher performance fluids in heavy duty machinery. As part of the upgrade, the current line featuring Conoco PowerDrive Fluid, Phillips 66 Torque Fluid, 76 Lubricants HT/4 Fluid and Kendall Powershift Transmission Fluid will be enhanced with a state-of-the-art additive technology that provides better equipment protection and improved performance while increasing productivity through reduced equipment maintenance and related downtime.

According to Reginald Dias, director of commercial products lubricants, the company is proactively addressing the wear and tear that modern machinery endures with the company's advanced additive technology. “ConocoPhillips Lubricants' upgraded transmission fluids not only meet or exceed the current industry specifications; they also provide elevated performance in friction control, load carrying capacity and the protection of hydraulic systems,” Dias said.

 

The new TO-4 fluids come in several different viscosity grades for use in the final drive gear box (heavy), transmission (medium) and hydraulics (light) systems. The revised fluids directly replace the previous generation fluids and set a higher performance standard for lubricants used in loaders, graders, dozers, large trucks and other off-highway machinery, including construction, extraction and mining. The product upgrade was specifically designed to increase productivity and safety while eliminating downtime and maintenance needs. The upgraded TO-4 fluids will be available starting end of June.
