TRUEGARD 50WT T04 55 GALLON DRUM

T04 refers to an automatic transmission fluid type specification associated with Allison Transmission requirements. This designation indicates the fluid is formulated for use in heavy-duty automatic transmissions that call for a T04-type fluid, such as those found in commercial trucks, buses, and off-highway equipment.

50WT (50 weight) is a single-grade, higher-viscosity rating, meaning the fluid is thicker than lighter-grade alternatives like 30WT or 40WT. This heavier viscosity is generally suited for high-load, high-temperature transmission applications where a thicker film of protection is required.

Mixing transmission fluids of different specifications or base chemistries is generally not recommended, as it can compromise fluid performance and potentially damage seals or internal transmission components. Consult your equipment's OEM service manual before blending with any other fluid.

A 55-gallon drum is best suited for fleet operations or facilities with high fluid consumption, as it requires appropriate drum-handling equipment such as a drum pump and bung wrench. Proper storage in a cool, dry area away from contaminants is important to maintain fluid integrity over time.

Store the drum upright or on its side in a covered, climate-controlled environment, keeping it away from direct sunlight, moisture, and extreme temperature fluctuations. Always ensure the bung is tightly sealed after each use to prevent contamination and evaporation.
