Grease for the Autolube System (If Equipped)
The grease used with the automatic lubrication system must not contain any graphite or PTFE.
Illustration 1 g03386861Note: Pumpability is based on "US Steel Mobility and Lincoln Ventmeter Tests". Performance may vary depending on lubrication equipment and the length of the lines.Reference: Refer to Special Publication, SEBU6250, "Caterpillar Machine Fluids Recommendations" for additional information about grease.

It is recommended to use fuel containing less than 500 ppm of sulfur. If fuel is used that exceeds 500 ppm of sulfur then the engine oil interval must be decreased or engine oil with a minimum TBN of 10 must be used. Follow operating instructions and fuel tank inlet labels, if available, to ensure that the correct fuels are used.Reference: Refer to Special Publication, SEBU6250, "Caterpillar Machine Fluids Recommendations" for additional information about fuels and lubricants.

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: Up to B20 biodiesel blend level is acceptable for use in Small 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.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".
