The following recommendations must be followed when you operate an engine with an Oil
Renewal System (ORS):
Caterpillar Multigrade Diesel Engine Oil (DEO) is recommended. Refer to Operation and
Maintenance Manual, SEBU6250, "Caterpillar Machine Fluids Recommendations".
Check the engine oil level daily and keep a log of all the additions of engine oil.
Every 500 hours obtain an SOS Oil Analysis.
Every 500 hours change the engine oil filters, the secondary fuel filters, and the filter for the
ORS. Change the filters sooner if the monitoring system indicates that the filters need to be
changed.
Utilize the results of the SOS Oil Analysis in order to determine when the engine oil needs
to be changed.

NOTICE
When using the ORS on an engine, it is the customer's responsibility to
ensure that the above maintenance items are managed during the life
of the engine. Failure to do so may result in shortened engine life or a
catastrophic engine failure.

Engine Oil
Be sure to use an engine oil that has been approved for your engine. The use of an engine oil that
is below the Caterpillar recommendations will cause the engine life to be shortened. Refer to the

Operation and Maintenance Manual for information that is related to the correct engine oil for
your engine.

Record Keeping
Keep a daily maintenance log of all of the additions of engine oil to the engine. This is necessary
in order to ensure that the ORS is operating properly. The daily maintenance log is also necessary
for the correct adjustment to the amount of oil that is metered into the fuel system. Illustration 1
shows an example of the additions of oil during a 500 hour period. The daily maintenance log will
also be the source of the total amount of oil that has been added since the last oil change. This
information is needed at the time of each oil analysis.

Caterpillar SOS Analysis

Perform the following tests on every sample of engine oil:
Wear metals
Infrared analysis

Chemical and physical properties
When an oil sample is submitted for analysis, the following information must accompany the
sample:
The number of hours on the oil since the last SOS Oil Analysis
The quantity of new oil that has been added to the engine since the last SOS Oil Analysis
The Caterpillar SOS Oil Analysis will help establish a baseline for wear metals and oxidation
stability throughout the life of the engine. The SOS Oil Analysis will be used to determine if the
ORS is adjusted correctly and if an oil change is required for the engine. The analysis will also be
used to determine if an abnormality is occurring in the engine such as water or fuel contamination
in the oil, bearing wear, etc..
The following graph is an example of the increasing trend of Fe for an engine. As the hours
increase on the engine oil for the engine, the amount of Fe that is found in the oil increases. Fe is a
wear metal that becomes suspended in the oil during normal engine operation.

Note: Check that this type of trend is occurring for your engine. If the analysis does not exhibit a
trend that is similar to the above plot, check for the following conditions: proper operation of the
ORS, rate for metering of the oil and proper operation of the engine. Refer to Systems Operation,
"Troubleshooting" for information that is related to evaluating this condition.

Replace the Engine Oil Filters

Only use Caterpillar oil filters. The following oil filters are acceptable for use with the ORS:
272-1788 Engine Oil Filter
275-2604 Engine Oil Filter
244-4484 Engine Oil Filter
340-6283 Engine Oil Filter Element
Change the engine oil filters according to instructions that are found in the Operation and
Maintenance Manual. The life of the filters will be reduced if there is an engine problem which
causes the oil filters to plug. When the oil filters become plugged, the oil filter differential
pressure increases. If this problem occurs, a warning will be displayed by the monitoring system
in order to alert the operator. The operation of the ORS will be suspended. The ORS will be
restarted after changing the oil filters and cycling the keyswitch.

Replace the Secondary Fuel Filters

Only use Caterpillar high efficiency fuel filters. A fuel filter with the capacity of 2 microns is
required with use of the ORS. Blending used engine oil with diesel fuel will increase the particle
count in the fuel that is delivered to the engine. The fuel filters are used to remove small particles
from the filtered fuel supply. This provides protection to the fuel system.
If the fuel filter differential pressure increases to an unacceptable level, a warning will be
displayed by the monitoring system in order to alert the operator. The operation of the ORS will
be suspended. The ORS will be restarted after changing the oil filters and cycling the keyswitch.

Replace the ORS Filters (If Equipped)

If the ORS for your engine is equipped with filters, refer to the Operation and Maintenance
Manual for detailed information that is related to providing maintenance for these filters.
