The caterpillar manual recommends changing the oil every year. If the spec for your machine is Cat “Hydo10” then you can use any quality brand oil labeled Hydraulic Oil AW ISO 32 that meets ASTM D 943 and ASTM D 2272. You also have the option of going to a full synthetic or multi-vis hydraulic oil for a slight additional cost.
What type of hydraulic oil for Hydo transmission?
As zeng said the hydo is hydraulic, the TO-4 is transmission oil. Cat HYDO is hydraulic oil, with minimum 900 ppm of zinc. Cat TO-2 is a an obsolete spec for transmission oil, which could be used as a hydraulic oil…. but may contain VI improvers. I would use any branded hydraulic oils in AW 46 /AW 68/AW 100 grades.

Can I use 15w40 instead of hydraulic oil?
For a pump requiring ISO 46 or ISO 68, the heavier viscosity 15W-40 will pump less efficiently than an designated hydraulic fluid. This causes the machine to expend more energy for the same amount of work and increases fuel consumption.
Can I use ATF instead of hydraulic fluid?
Most hydraulic systems will operate satisfactorily using a variety of fluids. These include engine oil, automatic transmission fluid and oil formulated specifically for the hydraulic compartment.
Is ATF the same as hydraulic fluid?
ATF is a premium hydraulic fluid, but also comes at a premium price, which is its major downside. A gallon of ATF is hard to find for less than $20, but five gallons of hydraulic oil can be had for less than $40.
What is the difference between 46 and 68 hydraulic oil?
46 is medium and No. 68 is thicker. Generally speaking, if the temperature is low in winter, use #32 & #46 hydraulic oil with a lower viscosity, and use #68 hydraulic oil with a higher viscosity in summer. Special conditions are treated specially.
What kind of hydraulic fluid goes in a bulldozer?
Suitable For Use In Caterpillar Dozer: 15w/40, 10w/30 Engine Oil – CAT 10w, CAT 30w Hydraulic Oil.
What is 10w hydraulic oil?

Hydraulic 68 is part of Crown Oil’s range of premium-grade mineral-based hydraulic oils with good anti-wear properties providing protection in the most demanding of systems while still meeting ISO standards for hydraulic oil. This hydraulic fluid is rust, corrosion and oxidation inhibited.
Caterpillar Hydo Alternatives – Bob Is The Oil Guy
Is there any alternative to the Cat HYDO oil for hydraulic system ? I saw some Traveller brand “Premium” Trans Hydraulic Fluid at Tractor Supply but it only lists Cat T0-2 designation which is an older one, so I’m afraid to buy it. Is there any aftermarket oil that matches the HYDO spec, Cat…
Cat HYDO oil alternative | Heavy Equipment Forums
I don’t believe Mobil would be any cheaper here, maybe different where you are. Another point… in the PDF that f311fr1 posted, Cat only recommend 2000 hr oil change intervals on “second choice” oils, which include their own DEO, TDTO etc.

How long is cat hydraulic oil good for?
AFAIK Cat-branded Hydraulic oil is good for 4000 hours or 1 year of operation, compared to other branded oils that Cat says to change at 2000 hours/1 year.
What oil do you use for a 246?
Almost everyone uses a different brand than Cat. On our machines we started off using Mobil, now we use Conoco. Any SAE10W hydraulic oil from a major oil company like the two I mentioned will do fine for your 246. We have a total of 5 x 246C/256C skid steers (amongst other things)
Do I change oil based on hours run?
Apart from that I would always change oil based on condition and not necessarily on hours run.
Is Cat’s SOS oil cheap?
Whether or not you use Cat’s SOS is up to you, there are many other companies out there as well but Cat’s SOS is actually pretty cheap. I never change fluids based on a set interval, I always use oil analysis to determine a save interval and then check each machine annually.
What is TO-4 oil?
TO-4 Fluids are specifically formulated SAE 10, SAE 30 and 50 oils designed to meet Caterpillar’s latest Transmission and Drive Train Lubricant specification. TO-4 supersedes and replaces Caterpillar TO-2 requirements. TO-4 provides improved clutch life when compared to the previous TO-2 Fluid along with improved control of gear wear in SAE 30 for transmissions, gear boxes, and SAE 50 for final drive trains. TO-4 has outstanding hydraulic oil stability and allows protection against high-pressure pump wear.

TO-4 10W is ideal for off highway vehicles, construction equipment and tractors and is specially designed to meet the demanding Caterpillar TO-4 specification.
What is heavy duty hydraulic oil?
Heavy-duty hydraulic oil is necessary for high-pressure environments where the fluid needs to be able to cope with large amounts of stress. The hydraulic oil additives used here will typically contain anti-wear properties. Anti-wear hydraulic oil is one of the most common blends used in industry and construction.
What is the viscosity index of hydraulic oil?
Hydraulic oil viscosity index. To measure the change in viscosity of hydraulic oil when the temperature changes, we use the oil viscosity index (VI). If a hydraulic oil has a low viscosity index, a change in temperature will alter the viscosity more than if it has a high viscosity index.
What is biodegradable hydraulic oil?
Biodegradable hydraulic oil is used in applications where an oil spill or leak could potentially contaminate the environment. The typical base oil for biodegradable versions of hydraulic oil include rapeseed oil and some other vegetable oils.
What type of oil is used for a car lift?
Hydraulic oil for a car lift tends to have a higher viscosity grade for high pressure. Hydraulic Oil for Wright Standers – A wright stander is a stand on mower which is usually well-suited to cemeteries and other restrictive grassy areas. The hydraulic part of these machines requires hydraulic oil for power.
Why is anti-freeze used in hydraulic fluid?
Hydraulic power is required in some of the coldest places on earth. In these cases, anti-freeze additives are used to prevent the fluid from freezing up or waxing. Low-temperature hydraulic oil is commonly used as a name for fluid which needs to be used in icy conditions.
What is hydraulic oil used for?
The primary use of hydraulic oil is to transfer power within hydraulic systems. When a force is applied to the non-compressible hydraulic fluid, usually from a piston within a cylinder, the oil is pushed through the hydraulic system and ultimately produces a force on another part of the system.
Why do we use hydraulic oil?
Hydraulic oil is used aboard many marine vessels for the stabilisers. The stabilisers reduce the amount of roll, which can affect the ship’s balance and cause you to experience unfriendly sea-motion sickness. This is just one of the many other applications on marine vessels which require hydraulic oil.
