MANIFOLD 1490272 - Caterpillar

Lubricant Specifications
The abbreviations listed below follow S.A.E. J754 nomenclature. The classifications follow S.A.E. J300 classifications. The MIL specifications are U.S.A. Military Specifications. These definitions are for purchasing assistance.Engine Oils (CD)
Use oils that meet Engine Service Classification CD (MIL-L-2104D), or CD/TO-2. See Caterpillar Form SEBU5939, "EMA Lubricating Oils Data Book," for a listing of CD oil brands.The percentage of sulfur in the fuel will affect the engine oil recommendations. If the fuel has over 0.5% sulfur content, the engine oil must have a TBN of 20 times the percentage of fuel sulfur (TBN as measured by the ASTM D-2896 method). If the sulfur content is greater than 1.5%, consult your Caterpillar dealer for correct engine oil recommendations. Lubricating Grease (MPG)
Use Multipurpose-type Grease (MPG). NLGI No. 2 Grade is suitable for most temperatures. Use NLGI No. 1 or No. 0 Grade for extremely low temperatures.Fuel Specifications
Types of Fuel
Caterpillar Engines have the ability to burn a wide variety of fuels. These fuels are divided into two general groups, Preferred and Permissible.The Preferred Fuels provide maximum engine service life and performance. These are distillate fuels. They are commonly called fuel oil, furnace oil, diesel fuel, or kerosene.The Permissible Fuels are crude oils or blended fuels. Use of these fuels can result in higher maintenance costs and reduced engine service life.See Caterpillar Form Number SEHS7067 Preferred and Permissible Fuels and their specifications.Cetane Requirement
The minimum cetane number recommended for this engine is 35 for PC engines.The minimum cetane number recommended for this engine is 40 for DI engines.Fuel Cloud Point
In cold weather, the cloud point of the fuel must be below the temperature of the surrounding air. If the cloud point is too high, wax will form in the fuel, which will cause clogging of the fuel filters and loss of power. Fuel heaters are available which will permit the use of a fuel with a high cloud point or a fuel with a lower cloud point should be used.Fuel Sulfur Content
The percentage of sulfur in the fuel will affect the engine oil recommendations. If the fuel has over 0.5% sulfur content, the engine oil must have a TBN of 20 times the percentage of fuel sulfur (TBN as measured by the ASTM D-2896 method). If the sulfur content is greater than 1.5%, consult your Caterpillar dealer for correct engine oil recommendations.Coolant Specifications
Engine Coolant
Use a mixture of fill water, antifreeze and Cooling System Conditioner. Caterpillar Form Number SEBD0518 entitled, "Know Your Cooling System" can provide more detailed specifications.Fill Water
Always add conditioner to water. Never use plain water.Acceptable water for use in the ethylene glycol-type antifreeze and water mixture is shown on the chart below: Antifreeze
Use ethylene glycol-type antifreeze. Use the correct amount to provide freeze protection to the lowest expected temperature.
