Adjustment of the Oil Change Interval
Note: Your Caterpillar dealer has additional information on these programs.Program A
Verification for an Oil Change Interval of 250 HoursThis program consists of three oil change intervals of 250 hours. Oil sampling and analysis is done at 150 hours and 250 hours for each of the three intervals for a total of six oil samples. The analysis includes oil viscosity and infrared (IR) analysis of the oil. If all of the results are satisfactory, the 250 hour oil change interval is acceptable for the machine in that application. Repeat Program A if you change the application of the machine.If a sample does not pass the oil analysis, take one of these actions:
Shorten the oil change interval to 150 hours.
Proceed to Program B.
Change to a preferred oil type in Table 1.Program B
Optimizing Oil Change IntervalsBegin with a 150 hour oil change interval. The oil change intervals are adjusted by increments. Each interval is adjusted an additional 50 hours. Periodic oil sampling and analysis is done during each interval. The analysis includes oil viscosity and infrared (IR) analysis of the oil. Repeat Program B if you change the application of the machine.If an oil sample does not pass the analysis, shorten the oil change interval, or change to a preferred multigrade oil type in the listing above.References

Hot oil and components can cause personal injury.Do not allow hot oil or components to contact skin.
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.

Remove the crankcase drain plug. Open the drain valve. Allow the oil to drain into a suitable container. A drain hose with 1-11 1/2 NPTF thread may be attached to the drain valve. The drain hose will aid in the draining.
When the oil has completed draining from the crankcase, close the drain valve. Install the crankcase drain plug. Install the access cover.

Remove the engine oil filter elements and discard the engine oil filter element properly. Make sure that all of the old filter seal is removed from the filter base.
Apply a thin coat of oil to the seals on the new filter.
Install the new oil filter elements by hand.Instructions for the installation of the filters are printed on the side of each Caterpillar spin-on filter. For non-Caterpillar filters, refer to the installation instructions that are provided by the supplier of the filter.
