Caterpillar Lubricating Oils
Caterpillar oils have been developed, tested, and approved by Caterpillar to provide the performance and life which has been designed and built into Caterpillar Gas Engines.Caterpillar oils are offered in appropriate single viscosity grades to meet the ambient temperature requirements for each compartment. For additional lubricant information, refer to the Caterpillar Reference Material section of this publication. The oil viscosities, container sizes and part numbers are given in the Data sheet (PEHP0004) and the CAT Fluids Selectors (PEWP9733 and PEWP3014 for metric containers).The following Caterpillar lubricants are offered for the various gas engine compartments:Engine Oil* CAT Natural Gas Engine Oil (NGEO)Lubricating Grease* CAT Multipurpose Lithium Grease (MPGL)* CAT Special Purpose Grease (SPG)Lubricant Recommendations
Caterpillar Natural Gas Engine Oil (NGEO)
Caterpillar NGEO is formulated to provide maximum performance and life in Caterpillar Gas Engines. This low ash oil has 0.45 percent sulfated ash (ASTM D874) and 5.0 Total Base Number (TBN), (ASTM2896).CAT NGEO is formulated from select base stocks blended with special additives to provide excellent anti-oxidation/nitration properties and thermal stability. CAT NGEO reduces level of carbon and sludge formation and provides excellent oil and filter life. The product has superior resistance to foaming, exhibits good demulcent properties and provides protection against corrosion. This oil uses an additive technology which offers excellent valve and seat protection, improved piston cleanliness and control of deposit formation.CAT NGEO is recommended for all Caterpillar Gas Engines when used with fuels having a concentration of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) at 0.10 percent by volume or less.This oil can also be used in other manufacturers' engines which permit a low ash, natural gas engine oil for processed natural gas.Commercial Oils
No universal industry specifications are defined for the performance requirement of lubricating oils for gas engines. The following guidelines have been established for commercial oils to be used in Caterpillar Gas Engines. These oil requirements are for processed natural gas ("sweet" natural gas, LPG, ect.).* Caterpillar recommends the use of oils formulated specifically for heavy duty gas engines. Oils formulated for gasoline engines only or for diesel engines only should not be used.* Caterpillar recommends oils that successfully completed 7000 hours of documented field service in standard and/or lean burn engine configurations. The field trial must be performed in a similar configuration to the proposed engine and at a power level that meets or exceeds the proposed engine. During the field trial, the following parameters must be monitored: oil consumption, oil deterioration, and valve recession. At the completion of the field trail, the condition of the oil and the engine must be within the limits listed: - No ring sticking or ring scuffing.- No liner scuffing or carbon cutting from excessive piston top land deposits.- Valve recession must not exceed the limits established by Caterpillar for the engine.- Oil consumption must not exceed two times the initial oil consumption (initial oil consumption is established during the first 1000 hours of operation).- At the end of all specified oil change periods, the oil condition must remain within Caterpillar's
