I have to think this is something generic they just slap the Skytrack name on? Is it just to help the brakes not chatter? I had to take one of my finals apart today after the brake started leaking.

Most wet diff with brakes that I've worked on use tractor transmission fluid, which already has modifiers to prevent brake chatter. Any good quality tractor trans fluid should work, or you could go with the high dollar stuff like Deere Hy-gard or Case Hytrans, Cat likely has a good fluid as well, just don't know what it's called.
Cat does have an additive. I've had to use it in their telehandlers and backhoes in the past.
What we used from Cat in machines with wet brakes to stop the chatter was Cat 1U9891.
That's the stuff I'm thinking of.
