BEARING 9D0733 - Caterpillar

Hot oil and hot components can cause personal injury. Do not allow hot oil or hot components to contact the skin.
Do not drain the oil when the engine is cold. As the oil cools, suspended waste particles settle on the bottom of the oil pan. The waste particles are not removed with the draining cold oil. Drain the crankcase with the engine stopped. Drain the crankcase with the oil warm. This draining method allows the waste particles that are suspended in the oil to be drained properly.Failure to follow this recommended procedure will cause the waste particles to be recirculated through the engine lubrication system with the new oil.Interval for Engine Oil and Engine Oil Filter Change
Note: The intervals stated in table 1 are only valid when preferred lubricants are used. Using fluids other than the preferred fluids causes the engine to operate in a severe service application. Refer to this Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Severe Service Application" for information about the effect of using fluids which are not preferred on the maintenance intervals.Refer to this Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Refill Capacities" before this procedure is started in order to determine the following:
The type of oil pan
The refill capacity for engine oil
Table 1
Intervals for Changing the Engine Oil and Engine Oil Filter(1)
Shallow sump Every 14200 L (3750 US gal) or 250 service hours or 1 yr
Deep sump Every 28400 L (7500 US gal) or 500 service hours or 1 yr
(1) Choose the interval that occurs first.Drain the Engine Oil
Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained during performance of inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting, and repair of the product. Be prepared to collect the fluid with suitable containers before opening any compartment or disassembling any component containing fluids.Refer to Special Publication, NENG2500, "Cat Dealer Service Tool Catalog" or refer to Special Publication, PECJ0003, "Cat Shop Supplies and Tools Catalog" for tools and supplies suitable to collect and contain fluids on Cat products.Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates.
After the engine has been run at the normal operating temperature, stop the engine. Use one of the following methods to drain the engine crankcase oil:
If the engine is equipped with a drain valve, turn the drain valve knob counterclockwise in order to drain the oil. After the oil has drained, turn the drain valve knob clockwise in order to close the drain valve.
If the engine is not equipped with a drain valve, remove the oil drain plug in order to allow the oil to drain. If the engine is equipped with a shallow sump, remove the bottom oil drain plugs from both ends of the oil pan.After the oil has drained, the oil drain plugs should be cleaned and installed.Replace the Oil Filter
Caterpillar oil filters are built to Caterpillar specifications. Use of an oil filter not recommended by Caterpillar could result in severe engine damage to the engine bearings, crankshaft, etc., as a result of the larger waste particles from unfiltered oil entering the engine lubricating system.
