( 5 ) The capacity of the shallow oil sump is 21 L (22 qt).
( 6 ) Perform this maintenance at 10,960 km (6,800 miles) or 150 hours.
( 7 ) The capacity of the deep oil sump is 28 L (30 qt).
( 8 ) Perform this maintenance at 16,100 km (10,000 miles) or 250 hours.Instructions for the Table
Determine your type of vehicle application. Locate the column which lists your type of vehicle application.
Determine your available oil in liters or quarts. The oil quantity equals the sum of the capacities of the oil sump and the oil filter. Locate the row which lists your available oil.
The intersection of the column and the row lists the maximum permissible number of kilometers or miles between oil change intervals.Example
You determined that the vehicle application is light duty commercial. The oil capacity of the engine is 28 L (30 qt) and the oil capacity of the auxiliary oil filter is 13 L (14 qt). With S O S Oil Analysis verification, the maximum permissible oil change interval is 40,250 kilometers (25,000 miles).For more information on optimizing oil change intervals, see your Caterpillar dealer.
