Note: For Caterpillar C11 and for C13 On-highway Engines, determine whether the oil pan is shallow or deep by referring to this Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Refill Recommendations and Capacities". Caterpillar C15 On-highway Engines use standard (deep) oil pans.The engine oil level will vary depending on the angle and the slant of the engine installation. The angle is the front to back tilt. The slant is the sideways tilt.The oil level gauge markings must be verified in order to ensure that it is correct. Verify the oil level gauge markings at the first oil change.Use the following procedure in order to verify the "ADD" mark and verify the "FULL" mark that is on the oil level gauge.
The vehicle must be parked on a level surface in order to perform this maintenance procedure.

Operate the engine until normal operating temperature is achieved. Stop the engine. Remove the crankcase oil drain plugs. The oil drain plug from the deep portion of the oil pan should be removed. The oil drain plug from the shallow portion of the oil pan should be removed. This will allow all of the oil to drain. Drain the oil from the crankcase for 20 minutes.
Remove the used oil filter(s). Install the new oil filter(s). Install the oil drain plugs and tighten to 70 15 N m (50 11 lb ft).Your engine may be equipped with auxiliary oil filters. The auxiliary oil filters require a different volume of oil. Refer to the OEM specifications for the auxiliary oil filter.
