The normal engine oil change interval is listed in thisOperation and Maintenance Manual, MaintenanceInterval Schedule.
Abnormally harsh operating cycles or harshenvironments can shorten the service life of
the engine oil. Arctic temperatures, corrosiveenvironments, or extremely dusty conditions mayrequire a reduction in engine oil change intervals.
Also refer to Special Publication, SEBU5898, ColdWeather Recommendations for All CaterpillarMachines. Poor maintenance of airfilters or of fuelfilters requires reduced oil change intervals. Consultyour Caterpillar dealer for more information if thisproduct will experience abnormally harsh operatingcycles or harsh environments.
Adjustment of the Oil Change Interval
Note: Your Caterpillar dealer has additionalinformation on these programs.
Cat oil filters are recommended.
Program A
Verification for an Oil Change Interval of 500 Hours
This program consists of three oil change intervals of500 hours. Oil sampling and analysis is done at 250hours and 500 hours for each of the three intervalsfor a total of six oil samples. The analysis includesoil viscosity and infrared (IR) analysis of the oil. Ifall of the results are satisfactory, the 500 hour oilchange interval is acceptable for the machine in thatapplication. Repeat Program A if you change theapplication of the machine.
If a sample does not pass the oil analysis, take oneof these actions:
Shorten the oil change interval to 250 hours.
Proceed to Program B.
Change to a preferred oil type in the LubricantViscosities for Ambient Temperatures Table in this
Operation and Maintenance Manual
Program B
Optimizing Oil Change Intervals
Begin with a 250 hour oil change interval. The oilchange intervals are adjusted by increments. Eachincrement is an additional 50 hours. Periodic oilsampling and analysis is done during each interval.The analysis includes oil viscosity and infrared (IR)analysis of the oil. Repeat Program B if you changethe application of the machine.
If an oil sample does not pass the analysis, shortenthe oil change interval, or change to a preferredmultigrade oil type in the listing above.
