Cat DEO

® ™

Optimum performance engine oil for Caterpillar® earthmoving, SAE 15W-40, SAE 10W-30
commercial, marine and on-highway truck diesel engines1.

Exclusive Formula Provides Maximum Performance, Protection

and Longest Life
Cat DEO combines a high-quality base stock with a proprietary balanced
additive system containing detergents, dispersants and multi-purpose
inhibitors—a precise formulation that produces a superior oil for Cat diesel
engines. This oil assures excellent control of oil thickening caused by soot
build-up and high temperature oxidation, and provides outstanding resistance
to varnish deposits, carbon deposits, and corrosion.
