Hi all,
Does anybody know which oil company supplies the rebranded Komatsu products? It used to be Castrol some years ago, but not anymore. Does anybody know?
Thanks in advance!

I am not sure about Europe but in Asia Pacific + australia - Castrol does the make the Komatsu lubricants.
In Indonesia, they are using Shell. I'm not sure at other countries, but I think it will similar. I've met personally with the Japanesse Komatsu guys when I was in Shell that time.
In my opinion, Jap enterprise pay attention to protect nation industry. So I think they may use Idemitsu，Jomo and so on.
Thanks all,
I think they have had an alliance with all the companies mentioned above, but they tend to switch now and then. Castrol has been the supplier for a long time, also in Europe, but this has ended a few years ago (according to my global contacts at Castrol).
Maybe I can reformulate my question. Does anybody have more detailed information on the Komatsu grades? The only document with a little bit of information is this one: Komats u oils
But this is already outdated as it doesn't list AXO80 for example. Anyone with more info?

Contact Komatsu directly, they will be glad to send you the information, same as Caterpillar has the Luricant Guidelines booklet.
@Otto34: I've tried that many times, but as a OEM data provider, Komatsu is not keen on sharing their data on their products to other oil companies. This is mainly my obstacle.
I believe Komatsu have their own AXO 80 fluid which is used as axle oil and in wet brake applications. I think the link on Komatsu oils provide quite a bit of detail any way with respect to the specifications except for the greases.
I've found some more info on the Komatsu products, but still not complete:
Hydraulic and Axle oils
Grease
Powertrain oils
There is also some info on Engine oils, but in russian only.

When you translate this page using Babelfish for example, you also can find some interesting info on Caterpillar, Klüber, Xado, etc.
