I've traveled once again down the oil comparison hole. Hoping someone smarter than I can shed some light
on what it is I'm looking at. We primarily use Chevron Delo products as it is readily available in our area and has treated us well over the years. We have several pieces of branded iron and can't readily get every manufactures name brand oil type. So we have a list and a cross reference for what machine takes what,where.
Currently we are replacing rear axle & trans oil on a 966D Loader
According to the Cat Fluid Selector its Trans is TDTO 30 & Axle is TDTO 50

The book calls for 80w-90 in axle and a 15-40 for trans
Our work range is from 0*F to 75*F
These specs have changed quite a bit from what the book states. I can match up the trans but the 80-90 has changed to a 50? this is where I'm looking for some understanding on the definitions.

Delo 80W-90 Oil

What is the important part I should be looking for in a fluid?
What is the kinematic viscosity?
Viscosity index?
Thanks in advance for the knowledge!
