CARTRIDGE GP-TURBOCHARGER 1252059 - Caterpillar

More information is needed for this topic. This publication requires a recommendation for the proper oil to use and the refill capacity for the generator.
Hot oil and components can cause personal injury.Do not allow hot oil or components to contact skin.
Do not drain the oil when the oil is cold. As the oil cools, suspended waste particles settle on the bottom of the oil pan. The waste particles are not removed when the cold oil is drained. Drain the oil when the oil is warm. This draining method allows proper draining of the waste particles that are suspended in the oil.Failure to follow this recommended procedure will allow the waste particles to be recirculated through the lubrication system with the new 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, "Dealer Service Tool 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 generator has been operated at normal operating temperature, STOP the engine.
Drain the oil according to the equipment that is installed.

Open the oil drain. After the oil has drained, close the oil drain.
If a suction device is inserted into the oil pan, ensure that the suction device is clean. This will prevent dirt from entering into the oil pan.
If a suction device that attaches to the oil drain is used, ensure that the suction device is clean. Attach the suction device to the oil drain. Open the oil drain. After the oil has drained, close the oil drain and remove the suction device.
If the oil drain valve has a “quick connect” coupling, attach the coupling. Open the drain valve in order to drain the crankcase. After the oil has drained, close the drain valve. Disconnect the coupling.
Fill the oil pan through the oil filler tube only. For the amount of oil to use, see this Operation and Maintenance Manual (Maintenance Section), "Refill Capacities".
Follow this Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Starting The Engine" procedure (Operation Section). Operate the generator. This will ensure that the lubrication system has oil and that the oil filter is filled with oil. Inspect the lubrication system for oil leaks.
Stop the engine and allow the oil to drain back into the oil pan for a minimum of ten minutes.
Remove the oil level gauge and check the oil level. Maintain the oil level to the "FULL" mark on the oil level gauge.
