SEAL-RING 8D9739 - Caterpillar

Reference: Engine News, February 1988, Page 2, "CXP Fluids Available From Caterpillar Inc.".With the availability of CXP lubricants announced in the Reference Article, it is important to provide Caterpillar's new lubricant specifications and viscosities to dealers and users. These specifications meet or exceed all SAE and MIL (Military-United States Army) requirements. These recommendations will aid in purchasing the correct lubricants so all users can obtain the maximum life designed and built into all Caterpillar products.
Therefore, a Lubricant Specification Supplement, Form SEBU6251, Caterpillar's CXP Engine And Marine Lubricant Recommendations, is available. This covers industrial, marine, and generator set engines, and marine transmissions.
The new supplement lists the specifications and the viscosities for various temperature ranges for all the lubricants, including hydraulic oil, and grease. Substitute lubricants are listed if the CXP lubricant is not available. Order copies in the usual manner.
The CXP lubricants and grease apply to all current and noncurrent Cat products worldwide, and will eventually be used as the factory fill at all factories. However, these CXP items are not yet available worldwide. Therefore, until January 1, 1989, the current Operation And Maintenance Manuals will be sent with products shipped from factories outside the U.S. As the CXP items are phased into engines built in the U.S., the Lubricant Supplement will be sent with the engines shipped from these plants.
