3512C 318 L (84 US gal)
3516C 405 L (107 US gal)
Engines With a Deep Sump
3508C 443 L (117 US gal) Every 1000 Service Hours
3512C 625 L (165 US gal)
3516C 807 L (213 US gal) Drain the Oil
Hot oil and components can cause personal injury.Do not allow hot oil or components to contact skin.
Do not drain the oil when the engine is cold. As the oil cools, suspended waste particles settle on the bottom of the oil pan. The waste particles are not removed when the cold oil is drained. Drain the crankcase when the oil is warm. This method allows proper draining of the waste particles that are suspended in the oil.Failure to follow this recommended procedure will allow the waste particles to be recirculated through the engine lubrication system with the new oil.
After the engine has been operated at normal operating temperature, STOP the engine.
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, "Caterpillar Dealer Service Tool Catalog" for tools and supplies suitable to collect and contain fluids on Caterpillar products.Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates.
Drain the oil according to the equipment on the engine.

(1) Oil drain
Open oil drain (1). After the oil has drained, close the oil drain.
If a suction device is inserted into the oil pan, ensure that the suction device is clean. This will prevent dirt from entering into the oil pan. Be careful not to strike the engine oil suction tubes or the piston cooling jets.
If a suction device that attaches to the oil drain is used, ensure that the suction device is clean. Attach the suction device to the oil drain. Open the oil drain. After the oil has drained, close the oil drain and remove the suction device.
If the oil drain valve has a “quick connect” coupling, attach the coupling. Open the drain valve in order to drain the crankcase. After the oil has drained, close the drain valve. Disconnect the coupling.
Replace the engine oil filter elements before you fill the crankcase with new oil. Replace the Oil Filter Elements
Replace the engine oil filters when any of the following conditions occur:
Every oil change
The differential pressure of the engine oil filter reaches 103 kPa (15 psi).
The oil filter elements have been used for 1000 service hours.Note: Do not attempt to clean the used oil filters. Used oil filters will retain waste particles. The used oil filters would not filter the oil properly.Service tools are available to aid in the service of oil filters. Consult your Caterpillar dealer for the part names and the part numbers. Follow the instructions that are supplied with the service tools. If the service tools are not used, perform the following appropriate procedure.Replacing the Engine Oil Filters With the Engine Stopped
Hot oil and components can cause personal injury.Do not allow hot oil or components to contact skin.
Perform the following procedure after the oil has been drained.Note: Use this procedure if the engine oil filters do not have a control valve.

(3) Plug
(4) Bolts
(5) Cover Note: Drain the oil into a suitable container. Dispose of the oil according to local regulations.
Connect a hose to drain (1). Place the other end of the hose into a suitable container in order to collect the oil.
Open drain valve (2). Remove plug (3). Allow the oil to drain. Clean the plug and install the plug. Close the drain valve. Remove the hose from the drain. Note: Some oil will remain in the housing after the oil has been drained. This oil will pour out of the housing when cover (5) is removed. Prepare to catch the oil in a suitable container. Clean up any spilled oil with absorbent towels or pillows. DO NOT use absorbent particles to clean up the oil.
Personal injury can result from parts and/or covers under spring pressure.Spring force will be released when covers are removed.Be prepared to hold spring loaded covers as the bolts are loosened.
Be alert to the spring force. Gradually loosen but do not remove bolts (4). Before you remove the bolts, pry the cover (5) loose or tap the cover with a rubber mallet in order to relieve any spring pressure. Remove cover (5).
