Special Lubricants
Grease
In order to use a non-Cat grease, the supplier must certify that the lubricant is compatible with Cat grease.Each pin joint should be flushed with the new grease. Ensure that all old grease is removed. Failure to meet this requirement may lead to failure of a pin joint.

(C) Japan film Diesel fuel must meet “Caterpillar Specification for Distillate Fuel” and the latest versions of "ASTM D975" or "EN 590" in order to ensure optimum engine performance. Refer to Special Publication, SEBU6250, "Caterpillar Machine Fluids Recommendations" for the latest fuel information and for Cat fuel specification. This manual may be found on the Web at Safety.Cat.com.
Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) fuel 0.0015 percent (≤15 ppm (mg/kg)) sulfur is required by regulation for use in engines certified to nonroad Tier 4 standards (U.S. EPA Tier 4 certified) and that are equipped with exhaust aftertreatment systems.European ULSD 0.0010 percent (≤10ppm (mg/kg)) sulfur fuel is required by regulation for use in engines certified to European nonroad Stage IIIB and newer standards and are equipped with exhaust aftertreatment systems.
Misfueling with fuels of higher sulfur level can have the following negative effects:
Shorten the time interval between aftertreatment device service intervals (cause the need for more frequent service intervals)
Adversely impact the performance and life of aftertreatment devices (cause loss of performance)
Reduce regeneration intervals of aftertreatment devices
Reduce engine efficiency and durability.
Increase the wear.
Increase the corrosion.
Increase the deposits.
Lower fuel economy
Shorten the time period between oil drain intervals (more frequent oil drain intervals).
Increase overall operating costs.Failures that result from the use of improper fuels are not Caterpillar factory defects. Therefore the cost of repairs would not be covered by a Caterpillar warranty.Caterpillar does not require the use of ULSD in off road and machine applications that are not Tier 4/Stage IIIB certified engines. ULSD is not required in engines that are not equipped with after treatment devices. For Tier 4/Stage IIIB/Stage IV certified engines always follow operating instructions. Fuel tank inlet labels are installed in order to ensure that the correct fuels are used.Refer to Special Publication, SEBU6250, "Caterpillar Machine Fluids Recommendations" for more details about fuels, lubricants, and Tier 4 requirements.
