Approximate Refill Capacities    
Compartment or System     Liters     Quarts    
Engine Crankcase (1)     36.0     38.0    
Capacity of the Auxiliary Oil Filter System (2)            
Total Capacity of the Lubrication System (3)            
( 1 ) Approximate sump capacity of the crankcase includes a standard oil filter that is factory installed. Engines with auxiliary oil filters will require additional oil. Engines that are equipped with factory installed dual oil filters require an additional 3.7 L (3.9 qt) of oil. If the engine is equipped with another type of auxiliary oil filter, refer to the OEM specifications for the capacity of the auxiliary oil filter.
( 2 ) Fill in the capacity of the auxiliary oil filter system (if equipped) in the space that is provided.
( 3 ) Fill in the total capacity of the lubrication system. Add the auxiliary oil filter system to the correct capacity of the engine crankcase that is for your engine. The final number is the total capacity of the lubrication system.Fuel
Fuel Recommendations
In North America, diesel fuel that is identified as No. 1-D or No. 2-D in "ASTM D975" generally meet the specifications. These fuels are distilled from crude oil. Diesel fuels from other sources could exhibit detrimental properties that are not defined or controlled by this specification.Refer to Special Publication, SEBU6251, "Caterpillar Commercial Diesel Engine Fluids Recommendations" for additional information that relates to diesel fuel.Cooling System
Coolant Recommendations
Do not use a commercial coolant/antifreeze that only meets the ASTM "D3306" specification. This type of coolant/antifreeze is made for light duty automotive applications.Use only the coolant/antifreeze that is recommended.
The following coolants are the primary types of coolants that are used in Caterpillar Engines:Preferred - Cat ELC (Extended Life Coolant) or a commercial extended life coolant that meets the Caterpillar EC-1 specificationAcceptable - Cat DEAC (Diesel Engine Antifreeze/Coolant) or a commercial heavy-duty coolant/antifreeze that meets "ASTM D4985" or "ASTM D5345" specificationsCaterpillar recommends a 1:1 mixture of water and glycol. This mixture will provide optimum heavy-duty performance as a coolant/antifreeze.Note: Cat DEAC DOES NOT require a treatment with an SCA at the initial fill. Commercial heavy-duty coolant/antifreeze that meets "ASTM D4985" or "ASTM D5345" specifications MAY require a treatment with an SCA at the initial fill. Read the label or the instructions that are provided by the OEM of the product.Mixtures of glycol and water require three to six percent of SCA. Do not exceed the recommended six percent SCA concentration in mixtures of glycol and water.In stationary engine applications and marine engine applications that do not require protection from boiling or freezing, a mixture of SCA and water is acceptable. Caterpillar recommends a minimum of six percent to a maximum of eight percent SCA concentration in those cooling systems. Do not exceed the recommended eight percent SCA concentration in mixtures of water and SCA. Distilled water or deionized water is preferred. Water which has the required properties may be used.
