814F BGF

Selection of the Oil Change Interval


NOTICE

This machine is equipped with an engine that meets EPA Tier 2, Euro Stage II, or MOC Step 2 emission regulations. A 500 hour engine oil change interval is available, provided that operating conditions and recommended multigrade oil types are met. When these requirements are not met, shorten the oil change interval to 250 hours, or use an S·O·S oil sampling and analysis program to determine an acceptable oil change interval.

If you select an interval for oil and filter change that is too long, you may damage the engine.


Caterpillar oil filters are recommended.

Recommended multigrade oil types are listed in Table 1 and Table 2. Do not use single grade oils.

API Trademark
Commercial oils that are licensed by the American Petroleum Institute (API) bear this trademark. Commercial oils that do not bear this trademark are not licensed and these oils are not recommended. Oils that are not listed in Table 1 and in Table 2 are not recommended.

Abnormally harsh operating cycles or harsh environments can shorten the service life of the engine oil. Arctic temperatures, corrosive environments, or extremely dusty conditions may require a reduction in the engine oil change interval from the recommendations in Table 1 and in Table 2. Also refer to Manual, SEBU5898, "Cold Weather Recommendations". Poor maintenance of air filters or of fuel filters requires reduced oil change intervals. See your Caterpillar dealer for more information if this product will experience abnormally harsh operating cycles or harsh environments.

(1) The traditional oil change interval for engines is 250 hours. The standard oil change interval in this machine is 500 hours, if the operating conditions and recommended oil types that are listed in this table are met. Improvements in the engine allow this engine oil change interval. This new standard interval is not permitted for other machines. Refer to the applicable Operation and Maintenance Manuals for the other machines.
(2) Normal conditions include these factors: Fuel sulfur below 0.3%, altitude below 1830 m (6000 ft) and good air filter and fuel filter maintenance. Normal conditions do not include high load factor, harsh operating cycles, or harsh environments.
(3) High load factors can shorten the service life of your engine oil. Continuous heavy load cycles and very little idle time result in increased fuel consumption and oil contamination. These factors deplete the oil additives more rapidly. If the average fuel consumption of your 814F Wheel Tractor exceeds 40 L (11 US gal) per hour, follow the “High Load Factor” recommendations in Table 1. To determine average fuel consumption, measure average fuel consumption for a period of 50 to 100 hours. If the application of the machine is changed, the average fuel consumption may change.
(4) For sulfur content above 0.5%, refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, SEBU6250, "Total Base Number (TBN) and Fuel Sulfur Levels for Direct Injection (DI) Diesel Engines".
(5) In order to verify an oil change interval of 500 hours, refer to "Program A" below.
(6) Use "Program B" below to determine an appropriate interval.

Adjustment of the Oil Change Interval

Note: Your Caterpillar dealer has additional information on these programs.

Program A

Verification for an Oil Change Interval of 500 Hours

This program consists of three oil change intervals of 500 hours. Oil sampling and analysis is done at 250 hours and 500 hours for each of the three intervals for a total of six oil samples. The analysis includes oil viscosity and infrared (IR) analysis of the oil. If all of the results are satisfactory, the 500 hour oil change interval is acceptable for the machine in that application. Repeat Program A if you change the application of the machine.

If a sample does not pass the oil analysis, take one of these actions:

  • Shorten the oil change interval to 250 hours.

  • Proceed to Program B.

  • Change to a preferred oil type that is listed in Table 1 and 2.

Program B

Optimizing Oil Change Intervals

Begin with a 250 hour oil change interval. The oil change intervals are adjusted by increments. Each increment is an additional 50 hours. Periodic oil sampling and analysis is done during each interval. The analysis includes oil viscosity and infrared (IR) analysis of the oil. Repeat Program B if you change the application of the machine.

If an oil sample does not pass the analysis, shorten the oil change interval, or change to a preferred multigrade oil type in the listing above.

Procedure for Changing the Engine Oil and Filter


NOTICE

Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained during performance of inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting, and repair of the product. Be prepared to collect the fluid with suitable containers before opening any compartment or disassembling any component containing fluids.

Refer to Special Publication, NENG2500, "Dealer Service Tool Catalog" for tools and supplies suitable to collect and contain fluids on Cat® products.

Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates.

Your machine may be equipped with a high speed arrangement for changing the engine oil. The high speed arrangement allows service personnel to change the oil from the engine access door on the right side of the machine. The high speed arrangement allows the oil to be changed faster than conventional methods.

  1. The high speed arrangement is located on the right side of the engine.

  2. Remove the cap (2) that protects the male coupler. Connect an oil pump to the fitting. The fitting on the machine is a male coupler.

  3. Turn on the oil pump and withdraw the engine oil from the engine oil pan.

  4. Use a strap type wrench to remove the filter element (1). Inspect the filter.

    Reference: Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Oil Filter - Inspect".

  5. Clean the filter mounting base with a clean cloth. Make sure that the used filter gasket has been completely removed.


    Illustration 3g00101318

  6. Apply a thin film of clean engine oil to the sealing surface of the new filter element.

    Note: There are rotation index marks on each engine oil filter that are spaced 90 degrees or 1/4 turn away from each other. Note the position of the marks on the filter in relation to a fixed point on the filter base.

  7. Install the engine oil filter element (1) hand tight until the seal of the engine oil filter element (1) contacts the oil filter base.

    Note: Note the position of the index marks on the filter in relation to a fixed point on the filter base.

  8. Tighten the filter according to the instructions that are printed on the filter. Use the index marks as a guide.

  9. Connect an oil pump to the male coupler for the high speed arrangement. Fill the crankcase with new oil.

    Reference: Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Lubricant Viscosities and Refill Capacities" for the correct type of oil and for the correct amount of oil.

  10. Clean the end of the male coupler. Clean the cap that covers the male coupler and install the cap.

  11. Start the engine and allow the oil to warm. Check the machine for oil leaks.

  12. Check the engine oil level.

    Reference: Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Engine Oil Level - Check" for the correct procedure.

  13. Stop the engine. Close the engine access door and the engine hood.
