Drain the Oil
Hot oil and components can cause personal injury.Do not allow hot oil or components to contact skin.
Do not drain the oil when the engine is cold. As the oil cools, suspended waste particles settle on the bottom of the oil pan. The waste particles are not removed when the cold oil is drained. Drain the crankcase when the oil is warm. This draining method allows proper draining of the waste particles that are suspended in the oil.Failure to follow this recommended procedure will allow the waste particles to be recirculated through the engine lubrication system with the new oil.
After the engine has been operated at normal operating temperature, STOP the engine.
Drain the oil according to the equipment on the engine. Note: Drain the oil into a suitable container. Dispose of the oil according to local regulations.
Open the oil drain. After the oil has drained, close the oil drain.
If a suction device is inserted into the oil pan, ensure that the suction device is clean. This will prevent dirt from entering into the oil pan. Be careful not to strike the engine oil suction tubes or the piston cooling jets.
If a suction device that attaches to the oil drain is used, ensure that the suction device is clean. Attach the suction device to the oil drain. Open the oil drain. After the oil has drained, close the oil drain and remove the suction device.
If the oil drain valve has a “quick connect” coupling, attach the coupling. Open the drain valve in order to drain the crankcase. After the oil has drained, close the drain valve. Disconnect the coupling.
Replace the engine oil filter elements before filling the crankcase with new oil. Replace the Oil Filter Elements
Replace the engine oil filters when either of the following conditions occur:
Every oil change
The engine oil filter differential pressure reaches 103 kPa (15 psi).
The oil filter elements have been used for 1000 service hours.Note: Do not attempt to clean the used oil filters. Used oil filters will retain waste particles. The used oil filters would not filter the oil properly.Service tools are available to aid in the service of oil filters. Consult your Caterpillar dealer for the part names and the part numbers. Follow the instructions that are supplied with the service tools. If the service tools are not used, perform the following appropriate procedure.Replacing the Engine Oil Filters
Hot oil and components can cause personal injury.Do not allow hot oil or components to contact skin.
Perform the following procedure after the oil has been drained.Note: Use this procedure if the engine oil filters do not have a control valve.
