Hydraulic System Oil - Change

SMCS - 5056-044


4000 Hour Oil Change Interval

A 4000 hour maintenance interval for hydraulic oil (change) is available. The extended interval requires S·O·S monitoring of the hydraulic oil. The interval for S·O·S monitoring is every 500 hours. The maintenance interval for the hydraulic oil filter is not changed. If S·O·S monitoring is not performed, the 2000 hour maintenance interval must be used.
Machines with hammers are not included in the 4000 hour maintenance interval. Machines with hammers must use the intervals that are listed in the Maintenance Interval Schedule. Machines that are used in severe conditions are not included in the 4000 hour maintenance interval. Machines that are used in severe conditions must use the interval in the Maintenance Interval Schedule.

Lubricants

Approved hydraulic oil must be used to obtain the 4000 hour hydraulic oil change. Refer to the list that follows for approved oils.

Caterpillar Hydraulic Oils

  • Cat HYDO
  • TDTO
  • TDTO (TMS)
  • DEO
  • Biodegradable Hydraulic Oil (HEES)
  • MTO

Commercial Oils

Diesel engine oils (Heavy Duty) with a minimum zinc content of 900 ppm can be used. Acceptable commercial oils are identified by the American Petroleum Institute trademark (API). Refer to the list that follows for acceptable types of hydraulic oils.
  • CF
  • CF-4
  • CG-4
  • CH-4
Note: Industrial hydraulic oils are not recommended for the hydraulic systems of Caterpillar machines. Industrial hydraulic oils are more likely to allow corrosion and Industrial hydraulic oils are more likely to allow excessive wear.
