Lubricant Viscosities
SMCS - 1000; 7000; 7581
The proper oil viscosity grade is determined by the minimum ambient temperature at engine start-up and
during operation. In order to determine the proper oil viscosity grade, refer to the "Min" column and the
"Max" column in the table. The "Min" column indicates the coldest ambient temperature condition for
starting a cold machine and for operating a cold machine. The "Max" column indicates the oil viscosity
grade for operating the machine at the highest ambient temperature that is anticipated. Use the highest oil
viscosity grade that is allowed for the ambient temperature at engine start-up and during operation.
Oil viscosity grade in the differential and in the final drives should not be based solely on ambient
temperatures. The duration of operation and the oil temperatures during operation should also be considered.
Machines that are operated continuously should use oils that have the higher oil viscosity grade in the final
drives and in the differentials. The oils that have the higher oil viscosity grade will maintain the highest
possible oil film thickness. Consult your dealer if additional information is needed.
Operation of the transmission with an oil viscosity grade that is too high can cause damage to the friction
disc. Operation of the transmission with an oil temperature that is too low can cause damage to the friction
disc. Also, damage to the friction disc can be caused by extended shift time and a slow rise in clutch
pressure. Thicker oil does not provide the correct amount of oil flow in some areas and thicker oil can reduce
the lube flow in some areas.
ote: The footnotes are a key part of the "Lubricant Viscosities for Ambient Temperatures" tables. Read all
footnotes that pertain to each machine compartment.
ote: Caterpillar oils are the preferred oils. All other oil types and classifications that are listed in the
applicable section are acceptable oils.
ote: For further information, refer to Special Publication, SEBU6250, "Caterpillar Machine Fluids
Recommendations", "Lubricant Viscosities".
ote: Refer to Special Publication, SEBU5898, "Cold Weather Recommendations" for the selection of oil
when the machine is operated below 20 C (4 F).

Supplemental heat is recommended for cold soaked starts below the minimum ambient temperature. Supplemental heat may
be required for cold soaked starts that are above the minimum temperature that is stated, depending on the parasitic load and
other factors. Cold soaked starts occur when the engine has not been operated for a period of time, allowing the oil to
become more viscous due to cooler ambient temperatures.
Cat DEO-ULS or commercial oils meeting Cat ECF-3 specification are strongly recommended for use in diesel engines that
are equipped with Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF) and other aftertreatment devices.

Typical lubricant viscosity grades are SAE 0W-20, SAE 0W-30, and SAE 5W-30. Third Choice: Oils that contain a TO-4
additive package and a lubricant viscosity grade of SAE 0W-20, SAE 0W-30, or SAE 5W-30.
First Choice: Oils of full synthetic basestock that do not have viscosity index improvers and do meet the performance
requirements of the Cat TO-4 specification for the SAE 30 viscosity grade. Typical viscosity grades are SAE 0W-20, SAE
0W-30, and SAE 5W-30. Second Choice: Oils with a TO-4 type additive package and a lubricant viscosity grade of SAE
0W-20, SAE 0W-30, or SAE 5W-30.
Cat TDTO-TMS (Transmission Multi-Season) (synthetic blend that exceeds the Cat TO-4M multigrade specification
requirements).
Cat HYDO Advanced 10 is the preferred oil for use in most Caterpillar machine hydraulic and hydrostatic transmission
systems when ambient temperature is between 20 C (4 F) and 40 C (104 F). Cat HYDO Advanced 10 has an SAE
viscosity grade of 10W. Cat HYDO Advanced 10 has a 50% increase in the standard oil drain interval for machine
hydraulic systems (3000 hours versus 2000 hours) over second and third choice oils - when following 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 oil drain intervals are possible when using SOS Services oil analysis. Contact your Cat
dealer for details. In order to gain the most benefit from the improved performance designed into Cat HYDO Advanced 10,
when switching to Cat HYDO Advanced 10, cross contamination with the previous oil should be kept to less than 10%.
Second choice oils are Cat HYDO, Cat MTO, Cat DEO, Cat DEO-ULS, Cat TDTO, Cat Arctic TDTO, Cat TDTO-TMS,
Cat DEO SYN, Cat Arctic DEO SYN. Third choice oils are commercial oils that meet Cat ECF-1-a, Cat ECF-2, Cat ECF-3,
Cat TO-4, or the Cat TO-4M specifications, and that have a minimum zinc additive level of 0.09 percent (900 ppm).
Commercial biodegradable hydraulic oil must meet the Cat BF-1 specification. Refer to the machine Operation and
Maintenance Manual and/or contact your local Caterpillar dealer before using commercial oils that meet Cat BF-1 in Cat
Hydraulic Excavators. The minimum viscosity for commercial alternative oils used in most Cat machine hydraulic and
hydrostatic transmission systems is 6.6 cSt at 100 C (212 F) ("ASTM D445").
First Choice: Cat Arctic TDTO SAE 0W-20. Second Choice: Commercial SAE 0W-20 oils of full synthetic basestock that
do not have viscosity index improvers and do meet the performance requirements of the Cat TO-4 specification for the SAE
30 viscosity grade. Third Choice: Commercial oils that contain a Cat TO-4 additive package and a lubricant viscosity grade
of SAE 0W-20.

( 13 )

The maximum allowable oil viscosity at 100C is 6.6 cSt ("ASTM D445").

( 14 )

Cat FDAO, Cat FDAO SYN(Final Drive and Axle Oil) (exceeds the Cat FD-1 specification requirements)

( 15 )

Cat TDTO or a commercial TO-4 oil may be used as a third choice in place of the recommended Cat FDAO, Cat FDAO
SYN or commercial FD-1 oil.
Cat FDAO SYN, Cat FDAO SAE 60 or commercial FD-1 SAE 60 is preferred in most applications, particularly continuous
operation. If the ambient temperature is below 10C (14F), warm up the oil prior to operation. The oil must be maintained
to a temperature above 10C (14F) during operation. If the ambient temperature is below 10C (14F), perform the
procedures in the Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Differential Warm-up and Break-in" prior to operation. If the
ambient temperature is below 25C (13F) (below 35C (31F) for Cat FDAO SYN), consult your Caterpillar dealer
for instructions. Failure to warm up the oil prior to operation will cause damage to the machine.

Recommended Grease
Cat MPGM (Multipurpose Grease w/Moly)
Cat MPGM is an NLGI grade 2 grease. This grease is made with petroleum base oil and a lithium complex
thickener. This grease also has 3% Molybdenum diSulfide (MoS2 or moly). Cat MPGM is formulated for
use in applications with low severity to high severity at moderate temperatures. In addition, the Moly in Cat
MPGM is a special grade that has a median particle size of 3 microns in order to meet the special
requirements of some rolling element bearings. Cat MPGM is recommended for heavily loaded pin joints,
and high impact applications in machines such as Track-Type Tractors, Backhoe Loaders and Skid Steer
Loaders.
Cat MPGM meets the NLGI certification of "GC-LB". (This certification relates to extended service
intervals in automotive chassis points and in wheel bearings with disc brakes in automobiles, vans, and light
trucks.)
Cat MPGM grease will pump through centralized autolube systems at ambient temperatures down to 18 C

(0 F). Cat MPGM grease will perform well in medium applications to high severity applications up to 41 C
(106 F). In less severe applications, this grease can be used at higher temperatures.
ote: If the application calls for a multipurpose grease with molybdenum and Cat MPGM is not available,
consult the data sheets for the greases. Use a substitute that meets the performance characteristics of Cat
MPGM or use a substitute that exceeds the performance characteristics of Cat MPGM.
Severe Applications
Caterpillar has greases which are made with a Calcium Sulfonate Complex thickener. This type of grease is
necessary for more severe applications. These greases provide more load carrying (galling resistance), lower
wear, longer working life, exceptional water washout, and resistance to corrosion.
ote: For further information, refer to Special Publication, SEBU6250, "Caterpillar Machine Fluids
Recommendations", "Lubricating Grease".
