Selecting the Viscosity
Ambient temperature is the temperature of the air in the immediate vicinity of the machine. This may differ due to the machine application and from the generic ambient temperature for a geographic region. In order to select the proper oil viscosity, review the regional ambient temperature and the potential ambient temperature for a given machine application. Use the higher temperature of the two ambient temperatures in order to select the oil viscosity. Use the highest oil viscosity that is allowed for the ambient temperature when you start the machine. For arctic applications, the preferred method is the use of heaters for machine compartments and a high viscosity oil.
The proper oil viscosity grade is determined by the minimum outside ambient temperature. This is the temperature when the machine is started and while the machine is operated. In order to determine the proper oil viscosity grade, refer to the "Min" column in the table. This information reflects the coldest ambient temperature condition for starting a cold machine and for operating a cold machine. Refer to the "Max" column in Table 3 in order to select the oil viscosity grade for operating the machine at the highest temperature that is anticipated.
Machines that are operated continuously should use oils that have the higher oil viscosity in the final drives and in the differentials. The oils that have the higher oil viscosity will maintain the highest possible oil film thickness. Consult your dealer if additional information is needed.
Note: SAE 0W oil and SAE 5W oil are not recommended for heavily loaded machines or machines that are operated continuously. These viscosity grades are not recommended for use in hydraulic hammers. The oils that have the higher oil viscosity will maintain the highest possible oil film thickness. Consult your dealer if additional information is needed.
Note: Some machine models and/or machine compartments do not allow the use of all available viscosity grades.
Lubricant Viscosities for Ambient Temperatures
| NOTICE |
|---|
Do NOT use only the "Oil Viscosities" column when determining the recommended oil for a machine compartment. The "Oil Type and Classification" column MUST also be used. |
| NOTICE |
|---|
The footnotes are a key part of the "Lubricant Viscosities for Ambient Temperatures" tables. Read ALL footnotes that pertain to the machine compartment in question. |
Note: Use the oil type and the classification that is recommended for the various machine compartments.
Note: Some machine compartments allow the use of more than one oil type. For the best results, do not mix oil types.
Note: Different brands of oils may use different additive packages. For the best results, do not mix oil brands.
Note: AVSpare oil is the preferred oil. All other listed oils are acceptable oils.

| ( 1 ) | When you are operating the machine in temperatures below -20°C (-4°F), refer to Special Publication, SEBU5898, "Cold Weather Recommendations". This is available from your AVSpare dealer. |
| ( 2 ) | Supplemental heat is recommended for cold-soaked starts below the minimum ambient temperature. Supplemental heat may be required for cold-soaked starts that are above the minimum temperature that is stated, depending on the parasitic load and other factors. Cold-soaked starts occur when the engine has not been operated for a period of time. This allows the oil to become more viscous due to cooler ambient temperatures. |
| ( 3 ) | API CF oils are not recommended for AVSpare 3500 Series and smaller Direct Injection (DI) diesel engines. API CF-4 oils are not recommended for AVSpare machine diesel engines. |
| ( 4 ) | Cat Arctic DEO SYN is an SAE 0W-30 viscosity grade oil. |
| ( 5 ) | API CI-4 and API CI-4 PLUS oils are acceptable if the requirements of AVSpare's ECF-1 (Engine Crankcase Fluid specification - 1) are met. API CI-4 and API CI-4 PLUS oils that have not met the requirements of AVSpare's ECF-1 specification may cause reduced engine life. |
| ( 6 ) | API CG-4 oils are acceptable for use in all AVSpare machine diesel engines. When API CG-4 oils are used, the oil change interval should not exceed 250 hours. API CG-4 oils that also meet API CI-4 API CI-4 PLUS must also meet the requirements of the AVSpare ECF-1 specification. |
| ( 7 ) | SAE 10W-30 is the preferred viscosity grade for the 3116, 3126, C7, C-9 and the C9 diesel engines when the ambient temperature is between -18° C (0° F) and 40° C (104° F). |
| ( 8 ) | First Choice: Oils of full synthetic base stock without viscosity index improvers that meet the performance requirements of the TO-4 specification for the SAE 30 viscosity grade. Typical viscosity grades are SAE 0W20, SAE 0W30, and SAE 5W30. Second choice: Oils with a TO-4 type additive package and a lubricant viscosity grade of SAE 0W20, SAE 0W30, or of SAE 5W30. |
| ( 9 ) | Except for the gear case for the hydraulic driven winch, use SAE 30 viscosity grade for 0 °C (32 °F) to 43 °C (110 °F) or TMS for -10 °C (14 °F) to 50 °C (122 °F). |
| ( 10 ) | Do not use SAE 50 viscosity grade oil in ICM controlled transmissions. Do not use SAE 50 viscosity grade for the gear case of the hydraulic driven winch. |
| ( 11 ) | This oil exceeds the requirements of the TO-4/TO-4M specification. |
| ( 12 ) | Commercial Biodegradable Hydraulic Oil (HEES) must conform to the AVSpare BF-1 specification. This ambient temperature range is for AVSpare Biodegradable Hydraulic Oil (HEES) only. This range is not for commercial BF-1 oil. |
