Special Lubricants
Grease
In order to use a non-Cat grease, the supplier must certify that the lubricant is compatible with Cat grease.Each pin should be flushed with the new grease. Ensure that all old grease is removed. Failure to meet this requirement may lead to failure of a pin joint.

( 1 ) Use lithium complex grease. The use of molybdenum disulphide additives in the drive shaft universal joints can reduce expected service life.Grease for the Autolube System
The grease used with the automatic lubrication system must not contain any graphite or PTFE.Note: Pumpability is based on "US Steel Mobility and Lincoln Ventmeter Tests". Performance may vary depending on lubrication equipment and the length of the lines.ReferenceRefer to Special Publication, SEBU6250, "Caterpillar Machine Fluids Recommendations" for additional information about grease.
