Oil Change Interval
The establishment of an S O S oil analysis program will enable an evaluation of the used oil. The evaluation can be used to determine the oil change interval that is suitable for your specific engine. Change the engine oil when oil analysis determines that the oil has reached the condemning limit.In the absence of oil analysis, change the engine oil after every 1350 service hours.Change the Engine 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 with the oil warm. This method allows the waste particles to be removed.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.
Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained during performance of inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting, and repair of the product. Be prepared to collect the fluid with suitable containers before opening any compartment or disassembling any component containing fluids.Refer to Special Publication, NENG2500, "Dealer Service Tool Catalog" for tools and supplies suitable to collect and contain fluids on Cat products.Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates.

(1) Drain valve
Open drain valve (1) in order to drain used oil. After the oil has drained, close drain valve (1). Note: If a suction device is used in order to remove the oil from the oil pan, ensure that the suction device is clean. This will prevent dirt from entering the oil pan. Be careful not to strike the engine oil suction tubes or the piston cooling jets.
Keep all parts clean from contaminants.Contaminants may cause rapid wear and shortened component life.
Clean the oil suction screen. Note: Approximately 1 L (1 qt) of oil will remain in the housing after the sump has been completely drained. This oil will pour out of the housing when the cover for the oil suction screen is removed. Prepare to catch the oil in a suitable container. Clean up any spilled oil with absorbent towels or pillows. DO NOT use absorbent particles to clean up the oil.
