Faulty engine coolant temperature regulators, or operating with light loads, short operation cycles, excessive idling, or operating in applications were normal operating temperature is seldom reached can contribute to excessive water in the crankcase oil. Corrosive damage, piston deposits and increased oil consumption can result. If a complete oil analysis program is not followed or if the results are ignored, the potential for corrosive damage and piston deposits increases.
Caterpillar Engine Oils
Cat oils have been developed and tested in order to provide the full performance and service life that has been designed and built into Cat engines. Cat oils are currently used to fill diesel engines at the factory. These oils are offered by Cat dealers for continued use when the engine oil is changed. Consult your Cat dealer for more information on these oils.Due to significant variations in the quality and in the performance of commercially available oils, Caterpillar makes the following recommendations:
Cat DEO (Diesel Engine Oil) (10W-30)
Cat DEO (Diesel Engine Oil) (15W-40)
Cat DEO-ULS (Diesel Engine Oil - Ultralow Sulfur) (10W-30)
Cat DEO-ULS (Diesel Engine Oil - Ultralow Sulfur) (15W-40)Note: Cat DEO-ULS multigrade is the preferred oil for use in all Cat diesel engines for which SAE 15W-40 is the preferred viscosity grade.Commercial Engine Oils
Note: Non-Caterpillar commercial oils are not the best oils for your engine.
Caterpillar does not warrant the quality or performance of non-Caterpillar fluids.
The three current Cat ECF specifications are: Cat ECF-1-a, Cat ECF-2 and Cat ECF-3. Each higher Cat ECF specification provides increased performance over lower Cat ECF specifications.N
