MAINTENANCE 18. OUTLINES OF SERVICE Use genuine Komatsu parts for replacement. When changing or adding oil, do not use a different type of oil. Unless otherwise specified, the oil and coolant used at the time of shipment from the factory are as shown in the table below. 18.1 OUTLINE OF OIL, FUEL, COOLANT 18.1.1 OIL Oil is used in the engine and work equipment under extremely severe conditions (high temperature, high pressure), and it deteriorates with use. Always use oil that matches the grade and temperature for use given in the Operation and Maintenance Manual. Although the oil may not be dirty, always replace the oil after the specified interval. Oil is like blood in the human body.
Therefore, always be careful when handling the oil to prevent any impurities (water, metal particles, dirt, etc.) from entering the system. The majority of problems with machines are caused by the entry of such impurities. Take particular care not to let any impurities get in when storing or adding oil. Never mix oils of different grades or brands. Always maintain the specified oil levels. Having too much or too little oil causes problems. If the oil in the work equipment is not clear, there is probably water or air entering the circuit. In such cases, please contact your distributor. When changing the oil, always replace the related filters at the same time.
It is recommended that an analysis be made of the oil periodically to check the engine’s condition. For those who wish to use this service, please contact your distributor.
