Marvell Trans Shift 30 (CAT) SAE 30 – 205L

Premium Powershift & Transmission Drive Train Oil

Product Overview

Marvell Trans Shift 30 (CAT) SAE 30 is a high-performance, heavy-duty transmission and drive train oil specifically engineered for powershift transmissions, torque converters, final drives and hydraulic systems in Caterpillar and other off-highway equipment requiring SAE 30 transmission fluids. Developed using high-quality base oils and a carefully balanced additive system, this product delivers reliable friction control, excellent wear protection, superior oxidation stability and long service life under severe operating conditions.

Off-highway equipment such as earthmoving machinery, mining equipment, loaders, dozers and haul trucks operate under extreme mechanical stress, high torque loads, shock loading and elevated temperatures. Marvell Trans Shift 30 is designed to withstand these conditions by maintaining stable viscosity, consistent friction characteristics and strong protective oil film strength. This ensures smooth clutch engagement, controlled power transfer and reduced component wear across extended duty cycles.

The 205-litre drum format is ideal for mining operations, construction fleets, agricultural contractors, equipment depots and workshops that service large volumes of Caterpillar and similar machinery. By providing a dedicated SAE 30 transmission and drive train oil, Marvell Trans Shift 30 helps extend component life, reduce downtime and optimise overall equipment reliability.

Key Features & Benefits

Optimised Friction Control for Powershift Transmissions

Marvell Trans Shift 30 is engineered to deliver stable frictional performance required for smooth engagement of wet clutches and brakes. This reduces clutch slippage, chatter and harsh engagement, ensuring consistent power delivery and operator control.

Superior Wear Protection

The advanced anti-wear additive system protects gears, bearings, clutch plates and hydraulic components from scuffing, pitting and fatigue under high load and shock conditions. This helps extend component life in demanding off-highway applications.

Excellent Thermal & Oxidation Stability

High-quality base oils resist oxidation and thermal breakdown even under sustained high operating temperatures. This prevents sludge and varnish formation, keeping internal components clean and supporting longer oil drain intervals.

Stable SAE 30 Viscosity Performance

Maintains viscosity stability under load and temperature extremes, ensuring reliable lubrication and hydraulic response in both cold start and full operating conditions.

Improved Equipment Reliability

Consistent lubrication and friction control help reduce unplanned downtime, minimise component replacement and improve overall machine availability in harsh operating environments.

Compatibility with Wet Brakes & Clutches

Formulated to minimise brake noise, chatter and vibration while maintaining effective braking and clutch performance.

Multi-Application Versatility

Suitable for use in transmissions, torque converters, final drives and hydraulic systems of Caterpillar and other off-highway equipment where TO-4 or equivalent fluids are specified, reducing the need for multiple lubricants.

Reduced Maintenance Costs

Extended oil life and reduced wear help lower total cost of ownership by decreasing oil change frequency and component replacement.
