Diesel fuels that meet the specifications in the table will provide rated engine performance and full component life. In North America, diesel fuel that is identified as
No. 1-D or as No. 2-D in ASTM D975 usually meets the specifications. Table 20 is for diesel fuels that are distilled from crude oil. Diesel fuels from other sources could
exhibit detrimental properties that are not defined or controlled by this specification.

Caterpillar fuel systems and engine components can operate on high sulfur fuels. Fuel sulfur levels affect exhaust emissions. High sulfur fuels also increase the potential for
corrosion in internal components. Fuel sulfur levels above 1.0 percent may significantly shorten the oil change interval. For additional information, see Operation and
Maintenance Manual, SEBU6250, Engine Oil.
The values of the fuel viscosity are the values that are delivered to the fuel injection pumps. If a fuel with a low viscosity is used, the fuel should maintain a 1.4 cSt viscosity
at the fuel injection pump. Fuels with a high viscosity might require fuel heaters in order to bring down the viscosity to a 20 cSt viscosity. For additional information, see Special
Publication, SEBD0717, Diesel Fuel and Your Engine.
Level I: Level I is a basic analysis which should be performed at every oil change or after every
250 hours of use.
The following items are tested: 1. Glycol Concentration
2. Concentration of SCA 3. pH
4. Conductivity The results are reported, and appropriate recommendations are made according to the
results. Level II:
Level II is a comprehensive analysis which should be performed during semiannual maintenance or after every 1000 hours of use.
The SO-S Coolant Analysis has the following four features: 1. Full analysis of Level I
2. Identification of metal corrosion and of contaminants 3. Identification of buildup of the impurities that cause corrosion
4. Identification of buildup of the impurities that cause scaling The results are reported, and appropriate recommendations are made.

CONVENTIONAL COOLANT ANTIFREEZE COOLING SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
To ensure that the cooling system has adequate freeze protection, frequently check the antifreeze solution in cold weather. To monitor the concentration of supplemental
cooling additive SCA, test the concentration. You may also send a coolant sample to your Caterpillar dealer in order to test the concentration of SCA. Check the
concentration after every 250 service hours or after every month. The machine may need a supplemental coolant additive or a maintenance coolant additive element after
every 250 service hours or after every month.
NOTICE To prevent over-inhibiting the engines cooling system, do not use both supplemental coolant additive liquid and a supplemental coolant additive element if
equipped at the same time. Use one method exclusively.
When Diesel Engine AntifreezeCoolant is used with a supplemental coolant additive, perform the following maintenance procedures after every 3000 service hours or after
every year.
• Drain the cooling system. • Clean the cooling system.
• Flush the cooling system. • Fill the cooling system.
See Operation and Maintenance Manual, Cooling System Coolant - Change. When Diesel Engine AntifreezeCoolant is not used with a supplemental coolant
additive, perform the flushing procedure after every year. After you drain the cooling system and after you refill the cooling system, make sure
that the radiator cap is removed. Operate the engine until the coolant reaches normal operating temperature and the coolant level stabilizes. Fill the cooling system to the
proper level by adding the coolant mixture
