Recommended use
The preferred lubricant for Cat hydraulic systems is Cat HYDO. We recommend this oil because its additive package provides optimum protection for components within Caterpillar hydraulic systems. Although more expensive than lower-performance industrial hydraulic oils, Cat HYDO ensures the best performance and longest life for hydraulic components. The hydraulic systems of most Cat machines are filled with Cat HYDO before they leave the factory. We can help you determine the right oil for your Cat machines and engines. You can also refer to your Operation & Maintenance Manual or Service Publication SEBU6250 (Caterpillar Machine Fluid Recommendations). An electronic version of this service publication is available at: www.CAT.com Simply choose these selections: Products/Parts and Service/Fluids/Machine Lubricant Recommendations. The goal of Caterpillar engineers is to design machines and engines to provide maximum productivity, long life and low operating costs; Cat HYDO is formulated to help achieve that goal.

*The values shown are typical values and should not be used as quality control parameters to either accept or reject product. Specifications are subject to change without notice. **Oil used for factory fill may have red dye added for easier detection of leaks. *** New oil, as received, with 0.1% water by volume added.
Acceptable Substitutes
If Cat HYDO is not used, the following alternatives can be used in the hydraulic and hydrostatic systems of Caterpillar machines.* Cat DEOTM (Diesel Engine Oil) Cat TDTOTM (Transmission and Drive Train Oil) Cat TDTO TMSTM (Transmission and Drive Train Oil Transmission Multi-Season) Cat MTO (Multi-Purpose Tractor Oil) Commercial Heavy Duty Diesel Engine Oil with a minimum zinc content of 900 ppm. (Heavy Duty Oils are identified by API classifications CI-4**, CH-4**, CG-4, CF-4 or CF.)
** However, Cat HYDO should not be used in place of any of these other lubricants. ** API CH-4 and CI-4 oils must also meet the requirements of Caterpillar ECF-1 (Engine Crankcase Fluid specification-1).
Caterpillar recommends protecting your investment by using SOS Services. Our SOS Oil Analysis program is the ultimate detection and diagnostic tool for your equipment, helping you head off potential problems before they lead to major failures and costly unscheduled downtime.
Keep it clean
Along with the use of proper hydraulic fluid, oil cleanliness is essential to achieving the full life of hydraulic system components. New hydraulic oil should be filtered to meet a cleanliness of ISO 16/13 or lower when put into Caterpillar machines to achieve a machine operating cleanliness level of ISO 18/15 or lower. Hydraulic oil that has been removed during a repair process must be filtered to a minimum of ISO 16/13 before it is used to refill. Any used oil should be checked using SOS Oil Analysis before it is reused. After repairs that involve exposing any hydraulic component to the atmosphere or contamination, a clean-out hydraulic filter should be installed. See your Caterpillar dealer for part numbers and more information. Also, an oil sample should be taken within several hours of returning the machine to service to assure an operating cleanliness level of ISO 18/15.

A high level of zinc additives is essential for protecting pumps, motors and valves from excessive wear. Cat HYDO contains more than twice as much zinc as typical (AW) industrial hydraulic oil to maximize your hydraulic systems life and performance.
