Be prepared to collect the fluid with suitable containers before opening any compartment or disassembling any component containing fluids.Refer to Special Publication, NENG2500, "Cat Dealer Service Tool Catalog" or refer to Special Publication, PECJ0003, "Cat Shop Supplies and Tools Catalog" for tools and supplies suitable to collect and contain fluids on Cat products.Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates.
Operate the engine until normal operating temperature is achieved. Stop the engine. Remove the crankcase oil drain plugs. The oil drain plug from the deep portion of the oil pan should be removed. The oil drain plug from the shallow portion of the oil pan should be removed. This will allow all of the oil to drain. Drain the oil from the crankcase for 20 minutes.
Remove the used oil filter(s). Install the new oil filter(s). Install the oil drain plugs and tighten to 70 15 N m (50 11 lb ft). Your engine may be equipped with auxiliary oil filters. The auxiliary oil filters require a different volume of oil. Refer to the OEM specifications for the auxiliary oil filter.
Refer to table 1 in order to determine the correct amount of oil that should be poured into the crankcase. Pour the correct amount of oil into the crankcase.
Table 1
Engine C11 or C13 C15
Oil pan Shallow Deep Deep (Standard)
Quantity of oil 22.5 L (23.8 qt) 28.5 L (30.1 qt) 26.5 L (28 qt)
Allow enough time for the oil to drain into the crankcase. Approximately 20 minutes should be allowed. Check the oil level. Wait for several minutes and check the oil level again. Proceed after the oil level stops changing.
Check the oil level on the oil level gauge. The oil level should be at the "ADD" mark. If the oil level is not at the existing "ADD" mark, grind off the "ADD" mark and engrave the new "ADD" level.
Pour 5.7 L (6 qt) of oil into the crankcase. Allow enough time for the oil to drain into the crankcase.
Check the oil level on the oil level gauge. The oil level should be at the "FULL" mark. If the oil level is not at the existing "FULL" mark, grind off the "FULL" mark and engrave the new "FULL" mark.
Refer to table 2 in order to determine the correct amount of oil that should be poured into the crankcase. Pour the correct amount of oil into the crankcase.

Start the engine and run the engine enough to ensure that the lubrication system is filled. Inspect the engine for oil leaks.
Stop the engine and allow enough time for the oil to drain into the crankcase.
Check the oil level on the oil level gauge. If the oil level is not at the calibrated "FULL" mark, fill the crankcase to the calibrated "FULL" mark. Include the oil that was added in order to raise the level of oil to the "FULL" mark and record the oil capacity of the lubrication system for future oil changes.
