Using Fuel Consumption For Calculating the Overhaul Intervals
Experience has shown that maintenance intervals are most accurately based on fuel consumption. Fuel consumption corresponds more accurately to the engine load. Table 1 lists average ranges of fuel consumption and service hours for standard displacement engines. These tables are based on a load factor of approximately 60 percent.
Overhaul intervals are guidelines and are dependent on the maintenance and usage factors described in this Operation and Maintenance Manual.
Maintenance intervals must be reduced for engines that operate in a severe service application. Maintenance intervals must also be reduced for engines that operate in excess of the engine rating definition.

( 1 ) Fuel consumption is based on a load factor of approximately 60 percent.Oil Consumption as an Overhaul Indicator
Oil consumption, fuel consumption, and maintenance information can be used to estimate the total operating cost for your Cat engine. Oil consumption can also be used to estimate the required capacity of a makeup oil tank that is suitable for the maintenance intervals.Oil consumption is in proportion to the percentage of the rated engine load. As the percentage of the engine load is increased, the amount of oil that is consumed per hour also increases.The oil consumption rate (brake-specific oil consumption) is measured in grams per kW/h (lb per bhp). The brake-specific oil consumption (BSOC) depends on the engine load. Consult your Cat dealer for assistance in determining the typical oil consumption rate for your engine.When the oil consumption of an engine has risen to three times the original oil consumption rate, an engine overhaul should be scheduled. There may be a corresponding increase in blowby and a slight increase in fuel consumption.Severe Operation
Severe operation is the use of an engine that exceeds current published standards for that engine. Caterpillar maintains standards for the following engine parameters:
Horsepower
Range of rpm
Fuel consumption
Fuel quality
Altitude
Maintenance intervals
Selection of oil
Selection of coolant
Environmental qualities
InstallationRefer to the standards for your engine or consult your Cat dealer in order to determine if your engine is operating within the defined parameters.Severe operation can accelerate component wear. Engines that are operating under severe conditions may need more frequent maintenance intervals for the following reasons:
Maximum reliability
Retention of full service lifeBecause of individual applications, all of the factors which can contribute to severe operation cannot be identified. Consult your Cat dealer about the maintenance that is needed for your specific engine.The following f
