Mounting base and gasket
Clean the sealing surface of the mounting base. Ensure that all of the old gasket is removed.
Apply clean engine oil to the gasket of the new oil filter.
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.
Place the oil filter in position. Tighten the oil filter until the gasket contacts the base. Tighten the oil filter by hand for an additional 1 full turn (360 degrees). Do not overtighten the oil filter. Replacing the Engine Oil Filters During Engine Operation
If the engine is equipped with duplex oil filters, the engine oil filter elements can be changed while the engine is operation. This is useful if the oil filter elements require more frequent replacement than the engine oil.
Filter contains hot pressurized fluid when engine is running.Follow instructions on control valve to avoid personal injury.If rapid air movement exists to blow fluid, Stop the engine to avoid fire.
Move the control valve to the "AUX RUN" position in order to change the main oil filter elements. Move the selector valve to the "MAIN RUN" position in order to change the auxiliary oil filter elements.
Allow the oil pressure gauge for the oil filter that is being changed to reach a "ZERO" pressure reading.
Perform Step 1 through Step 8 of "Replacing the Engine Oil Filters With the Engine Stopped".
Open the "FILL" valve for a minimum of five minutes in order to fill the new oil filter elements.
Close the "FILL" valve. Rotate the control valve to the "RUN" position for the oil filter that was serviced. Inspect the Used Oil Filter Elements
Cut the used oil filter element open with a utility knife. Remove the metal wrap. Cut the filter element free from the end caps. Spread apart the pleats and inspect the element for metal debris. An excessive amount of debris in the element may indicate early wear or a pending failure.Use a magnet to differentiate between the ferrous metals and the nonferrous metals that are found in the element. Ferrous metals may indicate wear on the steel and the cast iron parts of the engine. Nonferrous metals may indicate wear on the aluminum parts, the brass parts, or the bronze parts of the engine. Parts that may be affected include the following components: main bearings, rod bearings, turbocharger bearings and cylinder heads.Aluminum debris may indicate problems with the bearings of the front gears. If aluminum debris is found, inspect the crankshaft vibration damper and the bearings of the front idler gear.Due to normal wear and friction, it is not uncommon to find small amounts of debris in the oil filter element. If an excessive amount of debris is found in the oil filter element, consult your Caterpillar dealer in order to arrange for further oil analysis.Fill the Crankcase
