Every oil change
The differential pressure for the engine oil filter reaches 103 kPa (15 psi).
The oil filter elements have reached the service hours interval for the applicable sump size.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 Cat dealer for the part names and the part numbers.

Caterpillar oil filters are built to Caterpillar specifications. Use of an oil filter not recommended by Caterpillar could result in severe engine damage to the engine bearings, crankshaft, etc., as a result of the larger waste particles from unfiltered oil entering the engine lubricating system. Only use oil filters recommended by Caterpillar.
