Every attempt is made to provide accurate, up-to-date information. By the use of this document, you agree that Caterpillar Inc. is not responsible for errors or omissions.
The information provided are the latest recommendations for the Cat diesel engines that are covered by this Special Publication. This information supersedes all previous recommendations which have been published for the Cat diesel engines that are covered by this Special Publication. Special fluids are required for some engines and continued will be necessary. Refer to the applicable Operation and Maintenance Manual.This publication is a supplement to the Operation and Maintenance Manual. This publication does not replace the engine Operation and Maintenance Manuals.
These recommendations are subject to change without notice. Consult your local Cat dealer for the most up to date recommendations.
In order to avoid potential damage to your Cat machine and/or Cat engine, only purchase Cat fluids and Cat filters through your Cat dealer or Cat authorized outlets. For a list of authorized Cat parts outlets in your area, consult your Cat dealer.If you purchase what appear to be Cat fluids and/or Cat filters through other outlets/sources, you are at a very high risk of purchasing counterfeit ("look-alike") products.Counterfeit or "look-alike" products may visually appear the same as the original Cat product, but the product performance and internal quality will typically be very low.Counterfeit or "look-alike" products have a very high likelihood of causing and/or allowing engine and/or machine compartment damage.
Follow all industry standard safety practices when operating engines and/or machines and when performing all recommended and/or required maintenance.Note: Instructions for the installation of the filter are printed on the side of each Cat spin-on filter. For non-Cat filters, refer to the installation instructions that are provided by the supplier of the filter.
In order to meet expected fuel system component life, 4 micron(c) absolute or less secondary fuel filtration is required for all Cat diesel engines that are equipped with common-rail fuel systems. Also, 4 micron(c) absolute or less secondary fuel filtration is required for all Cat diesel engines that are equipped with unit injected fuel systems. For all other Cat diesel engines (mostly older engines with pump, line and nozzle type fuel systems), the use of 4 micron(c) absolute or less secondary fuel filtration is strongly recommended. Note that all current Cat diesel engines are factory equipped with Cat Advanced Efficiency 4 micron(c) absolute fuel filters.In order to obtain additional information on Cat designed and produced filtration products, refer to the "Reference Material" article, "Filters" and "Miscellaneous" topics in this Special Publication. Consult your Cat dealer for assistance with filtration recommendations for your Cat machine.
Caterpillar does not warrant the quality or performance of non-Caterpillar fluids and filters.
