any 30W oil will work,BUT...TDTO is formulated for use in Caterpillar powershift transmissions.Many 30w engine oils have friction modifiers present in the blend which will adversely affect operation of your transmission,whether a wheel loader or crawler.Any oil will work and make the system function in a pinch,but with a wet clutch(track clutch/steering brakes)being common to the transmission/bevel gear oil in a Cat crawler-you should run the TDTO due to its additives that help get the best life out of your clutch packs.The TDTO contains amounts of zinc and other elements that maximize life and give better overall performance.Pay now or pay dearly later.
