PISTON & ROD GP 1077546 - Caterpillar

Clean the sealing surface of the filter mounting base. Ensure that all of the old oil filter gasket is removed.
Apply clean engine oil to the new oil filter gasket.
Do not fill the oil filters with oil before installing them. This oil would not be filtered and could be contaminated. Contaminated oil can cause accelerated wear to engine components.
Install the oil filter. Tighten the oil filter until the oil filter gasket contacts the base. Tighten the oil filter by hand according to the instructions that are shown on the oil filter. Do not overtighten the oil filter. Fill the Engine Crankcase
Remove the oil filler cap. Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Refill Capacities and Recommendations" topic or to the Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Fluid Recommendations" for more information about selecting the correct engine oil and finding the correct refill capacity for your engine. Fill the crankcase with the proper amount of oil.
If equipped with an auxiliary oil filter or system, extra oil must be added when filling the crankcase. Follow the OEM or filter manufacturer's recommendations. If the extra oil is not added, the engine may starve for oil.
To help prevent crankshaft or bearing damage, crank engine to fill all filters before starting. Do not crank engine for more than 30 seconds.
Start the engine and run the engine at "LOW IDLE" for 2 minutes. Perform this procedure in order to ensure that the lubrication system has oil and that the oil filters are filled. Inspect the oil filter for oil leaks.
Stop the engine and allow the oil to drain back to the sump for a minimum of 10 minutes.
Remove the oil level gauge in order to check the oil level. Maintain the oil level between the "ADD" and "FULL" marks on the "ENGINE STOPPED" side of the oil level gauge.
Remove the "DO NOT OPERATE" tag from the ignition keyswitch. Adjustments to the Oil Change Intervals
Many conditions affect the selection of an oil change interval. Proper oil change intervals are important for maintaining engine service life and engine performance and fully utilizing the lubricant. The engine oil must be able to control the following items: corrosion, oxidation, soot and wear metals. The engine oil must be able to control the conditions during the time between oil changes. In some severe service applications, reducing the oil change interval may be necessary in order to maintain the integrity of the engine lubricant. Refer to this Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Severe Service Application" or consult with your Cat dealer in order to determine whether your engine is operating under severe service conditions.Fuel consumption and oil consumption are the most important factors that are used in order to calculate an oil change interval. All engines do not consume fuel and oil at the same rate due to several factors: manufacturing tolerances, maintenance variations and engine application.Extended Oil Change Intervals
Note: The following requirements must be met in order to use table 1. :
