Bruce - CAT ransmission "fluid"?

Bruce, a friend of mine gave me two five gallon cans of CAT transmission liquid. He says he used it in the Twin Discs behind his 671's. I don't think it's hydraulic fluid - says SAE - 30 on the label. My Twin Disc's say to use motor oil - non-detergent 30 weight (SAE 30). Do you think this is basically the same stuff? My gears only take about 2.5 quarts each, so 10 gallons will last a lifetime, but I'll split it with my dock neighbor, who has 3208's in a 31 Northcoast - if it will work.
