One Fluid — Transmissions, Hydraulics, Wet Brakes & PTO
Mobilfluid 424 replaces multiple separate fluids with a single approved UTTO — eliminating the misapplication risk and inventory complexity of maintaining separate transmission oil, hydraulic oil and wet brake fluid for the same tractor or piece of off-highway equipment.
For South African grain, fruit and livestock farming operations running mixed fleets of John Deere, Massey Ferguson, Case IH, New Holland and Kubota tractors — and for mining and construction contractors operating Caterpillar and ZF-transmission equipment — Mobilfluid 424's broad approval coverage simplifies lubricant procurement to a single authorised product. VI 145 and pour point -42°C ensure reliable performance across the full range of Western Cape, Northern Cape and Garden Route seasonal temperature conditions.
Product Overview
Mobilfluid™ 424 is an extra high performance multipurpose tractor lubricant engineered to meet or exceed transmission and hydraulic fluid requirements across the full drivetrain of agricultural and construction equipment. It combines select base oils and an advanced additive package to deliver the varied performance properties required in severe duty applications — transmissions, differentials, final drives, hydraulic systems, power steering systems, wet brakes, PTOs and hydrostatic drives — from a single product.
The advanced frictional properties of Mobilfluid 424 are specifically engineered for the wet brake and PTO chatter challenge that is the most common performance complaint on agricultural tractors in severe service — where incorrect or degraded transmission fluid causes the grab-slip-grab cycle in wet clutch brakes and PTOs that causes operator discomfort, component wear and premature brake failure.
Mobilfluid 424 is also an outstanding replacement for engine oils that have historically been specified in some older tractor transmission and hydraulic systems — a common source of misapplication and premature wear in older mixed-fleet agricultural operations. It carries approvals from John Deere, Massey Ferguson, Case IH, New Holland, CNH, Caterpillar, ZF, AGCO, Kubota and Allison. Available from Orbit Industrial — authorised Mobil distributor, South Africa.
Why Mobilfluid 424 for Mining & Agricultural Fleets
Wet Brake & PTO Chatter Elimination
Specifically designed to eliminate wet brake and PTO chatter — the friction-induced vibration that causes operator fatigue and accelerated brake wear in agricultural tractors. Enhanced frictional properties optimise the friction coefficient at the wet clutch interface, providing smooth, consistent engagement without the grab-slip cycle of incorrect fluids.
Single Fluid — Full Drivetrain Coverage
One approved product covers transmission, differential, final drive, hydraulic system, power steering, wet brakes, PTO and hydrostatic drive — eliminating the inventory, labelling and misapplication complexity of maintaining multiple separate fluids for each drivetrain subsystem in a mixed agricultural or construction fleet.
High VI 145 — Wide Temperature Range
VI 145 with pour point -42°C maintains consistent hydraulic response and transmission shift quality from cold early-morning starts through the peak temperatures of midday field operations in the Northern Cape and Karoo — ensuring full lubrication protection and clutch performance across the full operating temperature range.
Mining & Off-Highway Construction
Caterpillar TO-2, ZF TE-ML 03E/05F/17E/21F and Allison C-4 approvals cover the heavy off-highway construction and mining equipment transmissions most commonly used in South African quarrying, road construction and open pit surface mining operations.
Strong EP & Anti-Wear Protection
Strong anti-wear and extreme pressure properties protect transmission gears, differentials, final drives and hydraulic pump components under the heavy loads and shock loadings of severe agricultural and off-highway construction duty — extending drivetrain component life and reducing maintenance costs.
Rust, Corrosion & Yellow Metal Protection
Excellent protection against rust, corrosion and yellow metal etching — critical for tractor hydraulic systems with brass and copper components exposed to the moisture and humidity of irrigation, wet weather operations and coastal agricultural environments in the Western Cape and Garden Route.
Applications
Agricultural Tractors
Transmission, hydraulic system, wet brakes and PTO lubrication for John Deere, Massey Ferguson, Case IH, New Holland, Kubota, AGCO and Volvo BM tractors — grain, fruit, wine, vegetable and livestock farming operations across the Western Cape, Garden Route, Northern Cape and Gauteng.
Mining & Quarrying Equipment
Heavy-duty transmissions and hydraulic systems in Caterpillar and ZF-equipped mining support vehicles, graders, loaders and surface mining ancillary equipment requiring Caterpillar TO-2, ZF TE-ML or Allison C-4 fluids across Northern Cape, Western Cape and Gauteng mining operations.
Construction & Road Building
Off-highway transmissions, final drives and hydraulic systems on graders, scrapers, articulated dump trucks and construction equipment — ZF TE-ML 03E, 05F, 17E and 21F approved, covering the ZF transmissions used across a wide range of construction machinery in South African road and infrastructure projects.
Commercial Transmission Applications
Commercial transmission applications requiring Type A (Suffix A), Dexron and Type F fluids — and applications requiring API GL-4 or SAE 80W grade lubricants in all gear applications except hypoid gear designs. Outstanding replacement for engine oils previously specified in older tractor hydraulic and transmission systems.
Hydrostatic Drives
Hydrostatic drive systems on tractors and self-propelled agricultural equipment — where the combination of high VI, excellent anti-wear properties and filterability required for high-pressure hydrostatic circuits are all covered by Mobilfluid 424's performance profile.
Power Steering Systems
Tractor and off-highway equipment power steering systems — where the high VI 145 and excellent low-temperature properties maintain consistent steering response from cold starts, and the anti-wear properties protect the power steering pump across the full range of operating conditions.
Note: Do not use Mobilfluid 424 in passenger car automatic transmissions. Always confirm suitability from your equipment OEM service manual before filling.
