Hot oil and hot components can cause personal injury. Do not allow hot oil or hot components to contact the skin.
Obtain the Sample and the Analysis
In addition to a good preventive maintenance program, Caterpillar recommends using S O S oil analysis at regular scheduled intervals in order to monitor the condition of the engine and the maintenance requirements of the engine.Each oil sample should be taken when the oil is warm and when the oil is well mixed. The sample should be taken at this time in order to ensure that the sample is representative of the oil in the crankcase.Obtain the S O S Sample
Use the following method in order to obtain an S O S sample:
Use a 1U-5718 Vacuum Pump or use an equivalent pump that is inserted into the sump.To avoid contamination of the oil samples, the tools and the supplies that are used for obtaining oil samples must be clean.Consult your Caterpillar dealer for complete information and assistance in establishing an S O S program for your engine.If you fill the engine too fast with oil, the oil may saturate the engine breather. If the breather is saturated with oil, oil will blow out of the breather hose until the breather is free of oil. Add the engine oil at a rate of 2 L/min (0.5283 US gpm). This will help prevent saturating the breather with oil.
