Faulty engine coolant temperature regulators, or operating with light loads, short operation cycles, excessive idling, or operating in applications where normal operating temperature is seldom reached can contribute to excessive water in the crankcase oil. Corrosive damage, piston deposits, increased oil consumption, and other damage can result. If a complete oil analysis program is not followed or if the results are ignored, the potential for damage increases. Follow engine warmup recommendations provided in this Special Publication and/or given in your engine Operation and Maintenance Manual.
Cat Fluids
Cat fluids have been developed and tested by Cat in order to increase the performance and the life of Cat components. The quality of finished oil is dependent on the quality of the base stock, the quality of the additives and the compatibility of the base stock and additives. Cat fluids are formulated of high-quality refined oil base stocks and additives of optimal chemistry and quantity in order to provide high performance in engines and machine components. Cat fluids are used for factory fill of Cat engines and components and are offered by Cat dealers for service fills and as aftermarket products. Consult with your Cat dealer for more information on these Cat fluids.Cat recommends the use of the following Cat fluids:
Table 1
Cat Lubricants Viscosity Grade
Diesel Engine Oil-Ultra Low Sulfur (1) (2)(API CK-4) Cat DEO-ULS SAE 15W-40
SAE 10W-30
Cat DEO-ULS SYN SAE 5W-40
Cat DEO Cold Weather SAE 0W-40
Diesel Engine Oil (1)
(API CI-4/API CI-4PLUS) Cat DEO SAE 15W-40
SAE 10W-30
Multi Application Engine Oil Cat MAEO Plus (Non-Cat mixed fleets) SAE 10W-40
Diesel Engine Oil
(API CF) Cat DEO (3600 engines only) SAE 40
Pre Combustion Oil Cat PCO SAE 40
(1) Cat engine oils exceed the performance requirements of the respective API categories
(2) These oils have changed from API CJ-4 to API CK-4 early in 2017Note: Additional Cat fluids may be available.Note: Cat offers Special Application Engine Oil (SAEO), API CF-4 oil of SAE 30 and SAE 40 viscosity grades. These oils are recommended for use in 3116 and 3126 marine engines.
