Usage:
Use oils that meet the Engine Service Classification CD (MIL-L-2104D) or CD/TO-2.
Consult the "EMA Lubricating Oils Data Book," Form SEBU5939, for a listing of CD oil brands.
The percentage of sulfur in the fuel will affect the engine oil recommendations. If the fuel has over 0.5% sulfur content, the CD engine oil must have a TBN of 20 times the percentage of fuel sulfur (TBN as measured by the ASTM D-2896 method). If the sulfur content is greater than 1.5% by weight, use an oil with a TBN of 30 and reduce the oil change interval by one half. Consult your Caterpillar dealer for correct engine oil recommendations.
Higher TBN values are essential to retard the corrosive damage to metal engine parts.
Consult your Caterpillar dealer for correct engine oil recommendations.
Your oil supplier should be able to furnish the correct oils.
Use Multipurpose-type Grease (MPG). Multipurpose-type grease which contains 3% to 5% molybdenum disulfide (MPGM) is preferred. NLGI No. 2 Grade is suitable for most temperatures. Use NLGI No. 1 or No. 0 Grade for extremely low temperatures.
