How cold do you run in? Unless very cold, I would run gear lube in the final drives. At one time, CAT was recommending 30wt in everything, but I don't think that lasted too long.
The rollers take 30wt drive train oil. I think that is a non detergent oil as opposed to a motor oil. There is a special nozzle to put on an oil pump to fill the rollers with.
My 941b manual calls for 30wt diesel engine oil for the rollers, idlers and final drive
Our channel highlights machines from the earliest Holt and Best track-type tractors, equipment from the start of Caterpillar in 1925, up to units built in the mid-1960s.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
