Efficiency and transmission performance depends on adherence to proper operation and maintenance recommendations and the use of recommended oils, filters, and parts. Caterpillar recommends that major adjustments and repairs be made by your authorized Caterpillar dealer.Various transmission oil additives which claim to reduce wear, stop leaks, or improve efficiency are available commercially. Although additives have been used to solve some isolated field problems, additives are not recommended for general use. The recommended transmission lubricants and replaceable service parts are listed under Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Lubricant Viscosities" and Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Oil Filter (Transmission) - Replace".Take corrective steps immediately if worn parts which may affect performance are discovered. This action will ensure the proper operation of the transmission and the control systems. The use of genuine Caterpillar parts is recommended. Suppliers of non-Caterpillar parts must ensure the owner that the use of such parts will not adversely affect the performance, reliability, or durability level of the transmission. Regular maintenance intervals with a special emphasis on the following items are necessary in order to maintain the reliability and durability of the transmission. Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual, SEBU8198 in order to determine the appropriate application factor for your transmission. See the General Applications and Severe Application for limits and definitions. See your authorized Caterpillar dealer in order to help analyze your specific application, operating environment, and maintenance intervals.DAILY INSPECTIONS - The oil level of the transmission must be checked daily.
