Lubrication System
Lubrication Capacities
The refill capacities for the engine crankcase reflect the approximate capacity of the crankcase or sump plus standard oil filters. Auxiliary oil filter systems will require additional oil. Refer to the OEM specifications for the capacity of the auxiliary oil filter.

(1) These values are the approximate capacities for the crankcase oil sump which include the standard factory installed oil filters. Engines with auxiliary oil filters will require additional oil. Refer to the OEM specifications for the capacity of the auxiliary oil filter.Lubricant Viscosity Recommendations for Direct Injection (DI) Diesel Engines
The proper SAE viscosity grade of oil is determined by the minimum ambient temperature during cold engine start-up, and the maximum ambient temperature during engine operation.Refer to Table 2 (minimum temperature) to determine the required oil viscosity for starting a cold engine.Refer to Table 2 (maximum temperature) to select the oil viscosity for engine operation at the highest ambient temperature that is anticipated.Generally, use the highest oil viscosity that is available to meet the requirement for the temperature at start-up.

Fuel Recommendations
Diesel engines can burn a wide variety of fuels. These fuels are divided into two general groups. The two groups are called the preferred fuels and the permissible fuels.The preferred fuels provide maximum engine service life and performance. The preferred fuels are distillate fuels. These fuels are commonly called diesel fuel, furnace fuel, gas oil, or kerosene.The permissible fuels are crude oils or blended fuels. Use of these fuels can result in higher maintenance costs and in reduced engine service life.In North America, diesel fuel that is identified as No. 1-D or No. 2-D in "ASTM D975" generally meet the specifications. Diesel fuels from other sources could exhibit detrimental properties that are not defined or controlled by this specification.Refer to Special Publication, SEBU6251, "Caterpillar Commercial Diesel Engine Fluids Recommendations" for additional information that relates to diesel fuel.Cooling System
Coolant Capacities
To maintain the cooling system, the Total Cooling System capacity must be known. The approximate capacity for the engine cooling system is listed. External System capacities will vary among applications. Refer to the OEM specifications for the External System capacity. This capacity information will be needed to determine the amount of coolant/antifreeze that is required for the Total Cooling System.
