D7E Track-Type Tractor Power Train System Oil And Screens - Change/Clean Caterpillar

Selection of the Oil Change Interval

Note: The oil change interval of 2000 Service Hours is only available with the usage of TDTO-TMS OIL in the power train of the D7E Track-Type Tractor.

Adjustment of the Oil Change Interval

Program A

Verification for an Oil Change Interval of 2000 Hours

This program consists of four oil change intervals of 500 hours. Oil sampling and analysis are done at 500 hours for each of the four intervals for a total of four oil samples. The analysis includes oil viscosity and infrared (IR) analysis of the oil. If all of the results are satisfactory, the 2000 hour oil change interval is acceptable.

If a sample does not pass the oil analysis, take one of these actions:

• Shorten the oil change interval to 1000 hours.

• Change to another power train oil type that is listed in Table 1. Repeat Program A with the other listed oil type until the 1000 service hour interval is met.

Drain the Oil

Operate the machine in order to warm the power train oil. The machine must be level. Lower the attachments with slight down pressure. Engage the parking brake switch. Shut off the engine.

High Speed Oil Change, If Equipped

Illustration 1	g03716725

Open the left side compartment above the fender in order to locate the high speed oil change arrangement.

Use a 126-7538 Nozzle if the machine is equipped with the high speed oil change arrangement. This arrangement removes oil from the power train oil tank.

1. Open the access door to the fill pipe for the power train oil in the left front fender. Remove oil fill cap (8).

2. Fill the power train oil system with oil.

   Note: High Speed Oil Change, If Equipped. The coupler for the high speed oil change can be used to refill the power train oil at the port location. See Illustration 1.

   Reference: Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Lubricant Viscosities and Refill Capacities" for the correct type of lubricant and for the capacity of the power train oil tank.

   Reference: For additional information about oil types, see Special Publication, SEBU6250, "AVSpare Machine Fluid Recommendations" or consult your Cat dealer.

3. Open the access door to the oil gauge for the power train oil. Always measure the oil level with power train oil dipstick (7).

4. Maintain the oil level within the OPERATION ZONE marks on dipstick (7). The engine should be running at low idle. The power train should be at operating temperature. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Power Train Oil Level - Check".

5. Clean oil filler cap (8). Install the oil filler cap.

6. Close the access door in the front left fender. Close the access door to the oil gauge for the power train oil.
