GEAR-IDLER 1102136 - Caterpillar

The rear differential is not sampled due to the inboard brakes. S O S oil analysis would indicate a high level of contaminates which is common with inboard brakes.Consult your Caterpillar dealer for complete information and assistance in establishing an S O S program for your equipment.Sampling Port Locations for Machines with the Following Serial Numbers

Traditionally, the suggested S O S sampling intervals have been at each oil change, 250 hours for engines, or every 500 hours for all other compartments. A sampling interval of 250 hours for all compartments is recommended under the following conditions.Application
Studies have revealed that 500 hours between oil samples is too long of an interval for timely prediction of potential failure modes in some high load and high temperature applications. A 250 hour sampling interval provides more data points between oil change intervals. More data points between oil change intervals will increase the chance in order to detect a potential failure.Determining Optimal Oil Change Intervals
In order to find the optimal utility of a particular oil, the compartments should be sampled on a 250 hour interval. This will provide the information about the condition of the oil and information concerning the oil performance. Also, more data points enable close monitoring of component wear rates with maximum lubrication utility. For detailed information on extending oil change intervals, please contact your Caterpillar dealer.Optimizing the Component Life Cycle
An increased sampling interval also provides data trends that are defined better from one oil change interval to the next oil change interval. This enables close monitoring of the wear patterns of the component life cycle to ensure that the full component life cycle is realized.In a summation, the standard S O S interval for oil sampling for all engines remains at 250 hours. While 500 hour oil sample intervals remain acceptable for compartments other than engine compartments, these intervals are not necessarily the optimal intervals. Under the above conditions, 250 hour oil sampling intervals are recommended.
