General Information for Lubricants

When you are operating the machine in temperatures below -20°C (-4°F), refer to Special Publication,
SEBU5898, "Cold Weather Recommendations". This publication is available from your Cat dealer.

For cold-weather applications where transmission oil SAE 0W-20 is recommended, Cat TDTO Cold
Weather is recommended.

Refer to the "Lubricant Information" section in the latest revision of the Special Publication,
SEBU6250, "Caterpillar Machine Fluids Recommendations" for a list of Cat engine oils and for
detailed information. This manual may be found on the Web at Safety.Cat.com.

The footnotes are a key part of the tables. Read ALL footnotes that pertain to the machine
compartment in question.

Selecting the Viscosity

In order to select the proper oil for each machine compartment, refer to the "Lubricant Viscosity for
Ambient Temperature" table. Use the oil type AND oil viscosity for the specific compartment at the
proper ambient temperature.

The proper lubricant viscosity grade is determined by the minimum outside temperature when the
machine is started. The proper lubricant viscosity grade is also determined by the maximum outside
temperature while the machine is operated. Use the column on the table that is designated "Min" in
order to determine the lubricant viscosity grade that is required when you start a cold machine and
when you operate a cold machine. Use the column on the table that is designated "Max" to select the
lubricant viscosity grade when you operate the machine at the highest temperature that is anticipated.
When you start the machine, use the oil with the highest lubricant viscosity that is allowed for the
temperature.

Machines that are continuously operated should use the oils with a higher viscosity in the final drives
and differentials in order to maintain the highest possible oil film thickness. Refer to "General
Information for Lubricants" article, "Lubricant Viscosities" tables, and any associated footnotes.
Consult your Cat dealer if additional information is needed.

NOTICE

Not following the recommendations found in this manual can lead to

reduced performance and compartment failure.

Engine Oil
Caterpillar oils have been developed and tested in order to provide the full performance and life that
has been designed and built into Cat engines.

Cat DEO-ULS multigrade and Cat DEO multigrade oils are formulated with the correct amounts of
detergents, dispersants, and alkalinity in order to provide superior performance in Cat diesel engines
where recommended for use.

Note: SAE 10W-30 is the preferred viscosity grade for the 3116, 3126, C7, C-9, and C9 diesel
engines when the ambient temperature is between -18° C (0° F) and 40° C (104° F).

Other Oil Applications

Refer to the "Lubricant Information" section in the latest revision of the Special Publication,
SEBU6250, "Caterpillar Machine Fluids Recommendations" for a list of Cat engine oils and for
detailed information. This manual may be found on the Web at Safety.Cat.com.

Cat HYDO Advanced fluids are the preferred oils for use in Cat machines hydraulic systems.

Cat HYDO Advanced fluids have a 100% increase in the standard oil drain interval for machine
hydraulic systems (4000 hours or 2 years versus 2000 hours or 1 year) over second and third choice
oils when you follow the maintenance interval schedule for oil filter changes and for oil sampling that
is stated in the Operation and Maintenance Manual for your particular machine. 6000 hour or 3 years
oil drain intervals are possible when using S·O·S Services oil analysis. Consult your Cat dealer for
details. When switching to Cat HYDO Advanced fluids, cross contamination with the previous oil
should be kept to less than 10%.

Diesel Fuel Recommendations

Diesel fuel must meet Caterpillar Specification for Distillate Fuel and the latest revisions of "ASTM
D975-09a" and "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 Caterpillar fuel specification. This manual may be found on the Web at
Safety.Cat.com.

The preferred fuels are distillate fuels. These fuels are commonly called diesel fuels, furnace oil, gas
oil, or kerosene. These fuels must meet the Caterpillar Specification for Distillate Fuel For Off-
Highway Diesel Engines. Diesel fuels that meet the Caterpillar will help provide maximum engine
service life and performance. This manual may be found on the Web at Safety.Cat.com.

https://127.0.0.1/sisweb/sisweb/techdoc/techdoc_print_page.jsp?returnurl=/sisweb/sisweb... 13/09/2012

Misfueling with fuels of high sulfur level can have the following negative effects:

• 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.

• Negatively impact engine emissions

Failures that result for 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 non-road and machine applications that are not Tier
4/Stage IIIB/ Stage IV certified engines and are not equipped with aftertreatment devices. Follow
operating instructions and fuel tank inlet labels, if available 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. This manual may be found on the Web at Safety.Cat.com.

Fuel Additives
Cat Diesel Fuel Conditioner and Cat Fuel System Cleaner are available for use when needed. These
products are applicable to diesel and biodiesel fuels. Consult your Cat dealer for availability.

Biodiesel
Biodiesel is a fuel that can be made from various renewable resources that include vegetable oils,
animal fat, and waste cooking oil. Soybean oil and rapeseed oil are the primary vegetable oil sources.
In order to use any of these oils or fats as fuel, the oils or fats are chemically processed (esterified).
The water and contaminants are removed.

U.S. distillate diesel fuel specification "ASTM D975-09a" includes up to B5 (5 percent) biodiesel.
Currently, any diesel fuel in the U.S. may contain up to B5 biodiesel fuel.

European distillate diesel fuel specification "EN 590" includes up to B5 (5 percent) and in some
regions up to B7 (7 percent) biodiesel. Any diesel fuel in Europe may contain up to B5 or in some
regions up to B7 biodiesel fuel.

Note: Up to B20 biodiesel blend level is acceptable for use in Motor Grader engines.

https://127.0.0.1/sisweb/sisweb/techdoc/techdoc_print_page.jsp?returnurl=/sisweb/sisweb... 13/09/2012
120K Motor Grader SZN00001-UP (MACHINE) POWERED BY C7 Engine(SEBP4985 ... Page 8 of 8

Note: The diesel portion used in the biodiesel blend must be Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) fuel
0.0015 percent (≤15 ppm (mg/kg)) or less per "ASTM D975-09a". In Europe the diesel fuel portion
used in the biodiesel blend must be sulfur free diesel ULSD 0.0010 percent (≤10ppm (mg/kg) or less
per "EN 590". The final blend must have (≤15 ppm (mg/kg)) sulfur or less.

When biodiesel fuel is used, certain guidelines should be followed. Biodiesel fuel can influence the
engine oil, aftertreatment devices, non-metallic components, fuel system components, and others.
Biodiesel fuel has limited storage life and has limited oxidation stability. Follow the guidelines and
requirements for engines that are seasonally operated and for standby power generation engines.

In order to reduce the risks associated with the use of biodiesel, the final biodiesel blend and the
biodiesel fuel must meet specific blending requirements.

All of the guidelines and requirements are provided in the latest revision of Special Publication,
SEBU6250, "Caterpillar Machine Fluids Recommendations". This manual may be found on the Web
at Safety.Cat.com

Coolant Information
The information provided in this "Coolant Recommendation" section should be used with the
"Lubricants Information" provided in the latest revision of Special Publication, SEBU6250,
"Caterpillar Machine Fluids Recommendations". This manual may be found on the Web at
Safety.Cat.com.

The following two types of coolants may be used in Cat diesel engines:

Preferred - Cat ELC (Extended Life Coolant)

Acceptable - Cat DEAC (Diesel Engine Antifreeze/Coolant)

NOTICE

Never use water alone as a coolant. Water alone is corrosive at engine

operating temperatures. In addition, water alone does not provide
adequate protection against boiling or freezing.
