The oil sampling valve for the transmission oil may be located in-line on the inlet side of the transmission. If your transmission does not have an oil sampling valve, contact your Caterpillar dealer for the appropriate hardware and for the instructions in order to install the oil sampling valve.
The oil filters are mounted remotely from the transmission. The mounting locations will vary between Original Equipment Manufacturers.
