POCKET SCALE 9U7289 - Caterpillar

Lubricant Information
Certain abbreviations follow Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) J754 nomenclature and some classifications follow SAE J183 abbreviations. SPC is a Caterpillar designation for special synthetic oils, that do not contain viscosity improvers. The MIL specifications are U.S.A. Military Specifications. The definitions other than Caterpillar's will be of assistance in purchasing lubricants. The recommended oil viscosities can be found in the Lubricant Viscosities chart in this publication.Grease is classified by the National Lubricating Grease Institute (NLGI) based on ASTM D217-68 Worked Penetration characteristics which are given a defined consistency number.Engine Oil
Cat Engine Oils (DEO and EO)
Caterpillar has two oil formulations to provide maximum performance and life in the engines in Caterpillar machines. They are Cat Diesel Engine Oil (DEO) and Cat Engine Oil (EO).Cat Engine Oil (EO) is performance rated as: SAE 10W30 - API CF-4 (new category); API CESAE 15W40 - API CF-4 (new category); API CE;This oil formulation has strong dispersancy effectiveness along with sufficient alkalinity and low sulfated ash level for the performance requirements of the present day engine designs. By meeting the new API CF-4 performance category, requirements are met for newly designed engines of the future.Commercial Oils
If Cat oils can not be used, the following oil specifications provide guidelines for the selection of commercial products:* API CF-4, CF-4/SG, CF-4/SF, CE, CE/SG, or CE/SFCommercial oils meeting these specifications may require shortened oil change intervals as determined by close monitoring of oil condition with Scheduled Oil Sampling (S O S).
Failure to follow the oil recommendations can cause shortened engine life due to carbon deposits or excessive wear.
Consult the EMA Lubricating Oils Data Book, SEBU6310, for a listing of oil brands.Additional Notes
The percentage of sulfur in the fuel will affect the engine oil recommendations. For fuel sulfur effects, the Infrared Analysis or the ASTM D2896 procedure can be used to evaluate the residual neutralization properties of an engine oil. The sulfur products formation depends on the fuel sulfur content, oil formulation, crankcase blowby, engine operating conditions and ambient temperature.Caterpillar's 20 times rule for TBN (Reference: Oil and Your Engine SEBD0640) versus fuel sulfur is a general requirement, but it can be modified by used oil analysis. The effectiveness of an oil formulation will depend on the additive package. A balanced additive package oil of a lower TBN can be as effective in fuel sulfur neutralization and overall performance as some oils with higher TBN values. S O S (used oil analysis) can show these results.Hydraulic Oil (HYDO)
Cat Hydraulic Oil should be used to achieve maximum life and performance from hydraulic system components and hydrostatic transmissions. Use of Cat Hydraulic Oil is recommended in most hydraulic and hydrostatic systems.* Cat Hydraulic Oil (HYDO)If different viscosities are required because of extreme ambient temperatures, the following oils can be used, use Caterpillar's:* Cat Engine Oil (EO)* Cat Diesel Engine Oil (DEO)If Cat Hydraulic Oil or Engine Oil is not available, use an engine oil that meets one of these API service classifications; CC, CC/SF, CD or CE.
