Lubricant Viscosities - Fluids Recommendations

SMCS - 7581

General Information for Lubricants

When you are operating the machine in temperatures below −20°C (−4°F), refer to Special
Publication, SEBU5898, "Cold Weather Recommendations". This publication is available from
your Caterpillar dealer.

For cold-weather applications where transmission oil SAE 0W-20 is recommended, Cat Cold
Weather TDTO is recommended.

Caterpillar has determined that Track-Type Tractors equipped with the High Ambient Cooling
Attachment can operate with Cat HYDO Advanced 10 Hydraulic System Oil in ambient
temperatures from −20° C (−4° F) to 50° C (122° F).

Refer to the "Lubricant Information" section in the latest revision of the Special Publication,
SEBU6250, "Caterpillar Machine Fluids Recommendations" for a list of Cat engine oils and for
detailed information. This manual may be found on the Web at Safety.Cat.com.

The footnotes are a key part of the tables. Read ALL footnotes that pertain to the machine
compartment in question.

Selecting the Viscosity

In order to select the proper oil for each machine compartment, refer to the "Lubricant Viscosity
for Ambient Temperature" table. Use the oil type AND oil viscosity for the specific compartment
at the proper ambient temperature.

The proper oil viscosity grade is determined by the minimum ambient temperature (the air in the
immediate vicinity of the machine). Measure the temperature when the machine is started and
while the machine is operated. In order to determine the proper oil viscosity grade, refer to the
"Min" column in the table. This information reflects the coldest ambient temperature condition for
starting a cold machine and for operating a cold machine. Refer to the "Max" column in the table
for operating the machine at the highest temperature that is anticipated. Unless specified otherwise

D10T TRACK-TYPE TRACTOR RJG00001-UP (MACHINE) POWERED BY C27 ... Page 2 of 10

in the "Lubricant Viscosities for Ambient Temperatures" tables, use the highest oil viscosity that is
allowed for the ambient temperature.

Machines that are operated continuously should use oils that have the higher oil viscosity in the
final drives and in the differentials. The oils that have the higher oil viscosity will maintain the
highest possible oil film thickness. Refer to "General Information for Lubricants" article,
"Lubricant Viscosities" tables, and any associated footnotes. Consult your Cat dealer if additional
information is needed.

NOTICE

Not following the recommendations found in this manual can lead to

reduced performance and compartment failure.

Engine Oil
Cat oils have been developed and tested in order to provide the full performance and life that has
been designed and built into Cat engines.

Cat DEO-ULS multigrade and Cat DEO multigrade oils are formulated with the correct amounts
of detergents, dispersants, and alkalinity in order to provide superior performance in Cat diesel
engines where recommended for use.

Hydraulic Systems
Refer to the "Lubricant Information" section in the latest revision of the Special Publication,
SEBU6250, "Caterpillar Machine Fluids Recommendations" for detailed information. This
manual may be found on the Web at Safety.Cat.com.

The following are the preferred oils for use in most Cat machine hydraulic systems:

• Cat HYDO Advanced 10 SAE 10W

• Cat HYDO Advanced 30 SAE 30W

• Cat BIO HYDO Advanced

Cat HYDO Advanced fluids have a 50% increase in the standard oil drain interval for
machine hydraulic systems (3000 hours versus 2000 hours) over second and third choice oils
when you follow the maintenance interval schedule for oil filter changes and for oil sampling that
is stated in the Operation and Maintenance Manual for your particular machine. 6000 hour oil
drain intervals are possible when using S·O·S Services oil analysis. Consult your Cat dealer for
details. When switching to Cat HYDO Advanced fluids, cross contamination with the previous oil
should be kept to less than 10%.

Second choice oils are listed below.

• Cat MTO

Diesel Fuel Recommendations

Diesel fuel must meet "Caterpillar Specification for Distillate Fuel" and the latest versions of
"ASTM D975" or "EN 590" in order to ensure optimum engine performance. Refer to Special
Publication, SEBU6250, "Caterpillar Machine Fluids Recommendations" for the latest fuel
information and for Cat fuel specification. This manual may be found on the Web at
Safety.Cat.com.

The preferred fuels are distillate fuels. These fuels are commonly called diesel fuel, furnace oil,
gas oil, or kerosene. These fuels must meet the "Caterpillar Specification for Distillate Diesel Fuel
for Off-Highway Diesel Engines". Diesel Fuels that meet the Caterpillar specification will help
provide maximum engine service life and performance.

Misfueling with fuels of high sulfur level can have the following negative effects:

• Reduce engine efficiency and durability

• Increase the wear

• Increase the corrosion

• Increase the deposits

• Lower fuel economy

• Shorten the time period between oil drain intervals (more frequent oil drain intervals)

• Increase overall operating costs

• Negatively impact engine emissions

Failures that result from the use of improper fuels are not Caterpillar factory defects. Therefore the
cost of repairs would not be covered by a Caterpillar warranty.

Caterpillar does not require the use of ULSD in off road and machine applications that are not Tier
4/Stage IIIB certified engines. ULSD is not required in engines that are not equipped with after
treatment devices.

Follow operating instructions and fuel tank inlet labels, if available, in order to ensure that the
correct fuels are used.

Refer to Special Publication, SEBU6250, "Caterpillar Machine Fluids Recommendations" for

more details about fuels and lubricants. This manual may be found on the Web at Safety.Cat.com.

Fuel Additives
Cat Diesel Fuel Conditioner and Cat Fuel System Cleaner are available for use when needed.
These products are applicable to diesel and biodiesel fuels. Consult your Cat dealer for
availability.

Biodiesel
Biodiesel is a fuel that can be made from various renewable resources that include vegetable oils,
animal fat, and waste cooking oil. Soybean oil and rapeseed oil are the primary vegetable oil
sources. In order to use any of these oils or fats as fuel, the oils or fats are chemically processed
(esterified). The water and contaminants are removed.

U.S. distillate diesel fuel specification "ASTM D975-09a" includes up to B5 (5 percent) biodiesel.
Currently, any diesel fuel in the U.S. may contain up to B5 biodiesel fuel.

European distillate diesel fuel specification "EN 590" includes up to B5 (5 percent) and in some
regions up to B7 (7 percent) biodiesel. Any diesel fuel in Europe may contain up to B5 or in some
regions up to B7 biodiesel fuel.

Note: The diesel portion used in the biodiesel blend must be Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (15 ppm
sulfur or less, per "ASTM D975"). In Europe the diesel fuel portion used in the biodiesel blend
must be sulfur free diesel (10 ppm sulfur or less, per "EN 590"). The final blend must have 15
ppm sulfur or less.

Note: Up to B20 biodiesel blend level is acceptable for use in Medium Wheel Loader engines.

When biodiesel fuel is used, certain guidelines must be followed. Biodiesel fuel can influence the
engine oil, aftertreatment devices, non-metallic, fuel system components, and others. Biodiesel
fuel has limited storage life and has limited oxidation stability. Follow the guidelines and
requirements for engines that are seasonally operated and for standby power generation engines.

In order to reduce the risks associated with the use of biodiesel, the final biodiesel blend and the
biodiesel fuel used must meet specific blending requirements.

All the guidelines and requirements are provided in the latest revision of Special Publication,
SEBU6250, "Caterpillar Machine Fluids Recommendations". This manual may be found on the
Web at Safety.Cat.com.

Coolant Information
The information provided in this "Coolant Recommendation" section should be used with the
"Lubricants Information" provided in the latest revision of Special Publication, SEBU6250,
"Caterpillar Machine Fluids Recommendations". This manual may be found on the Web at
Safety.Cat.com.

The following two types of coolants may be used in Cat diesel engines:

Preferred - Cat ELC (Extended Life Coolant)

Acceptable - Cat DEAC (Diesel Engine Antifreeze/Coolant)

NOTICE

Never use water alone without Supplemental Coolant Additives (SCA)

or without inhibited coolant. Water alone is corrosive at engine
operating temperatures. In addition, water alone does not provide
adequate protection against boiling or freezing.
