Multi-Viscosity Engine Oils
Usage:
ENGINESALL CATERPILLAR GAS ENGINES
Problem:
Some customers have reported experiencing valve failures on Caterpillar Gas Engines using multi-viscosity engine oil.
Solution:
At the present time, Caterpillar does not recommend the use of any multi-viscosity oil in Caterpillar Gas Engines.There is some testing currently taking place with multi-viscosity oils to better define operational compatibility. Some oil companies offer a multi-viscosity low ash oil, but to our knowledge none have successfully completed Caterpillar's Standard 7,000 hour field test.
REMINDER:
Caterpillar Natural Gas Engine Oil is warranted against oil related failures by Caterpillar. The performance of other engine oil is the responsibility of that particular oil supplier.
