A prelube pump fills the lube system with oil before starting or
cranking the engine. A check valve prevents oil from flowing
backwards through the prelube pump and into the oil pump inlet
piping when the engine is running.
Most of the unfiltered pressurized oil is piped to the oil
temperature regulators and the oil coolers. The regulators control
the amount of oil that is allowed to flow through the oil coolers.
The regulators mix cooled and uncooled oil in sufficient quantity
to control the oil temperature to the engine at 83 C (181 F).

From the oil filters, oil enters the priority valve. The priority
valve is a flow and pressure control device. Pressurized, filtered
oil acts on the main priority valve spool to direct oil flow. During
prelubing and upon initial starting, all filtered oil is directed to
the main oil manifold. When the system pressure reaches 140 kPa
(20 psi), the priority valve spool moves sufficiently to uncover the
oil port to the piston cooling jet manifold and permit filtered oil
to enter the manifold.
As the oil pressure continues to increase, the spool continues to be
moved until the oil pressure approaches 428 kPa (62 psi). Near
this pressure, unfiltered oil which is also piped into another
location on the priority valve, starts to escape past a second land
in the spool and directly back to the oil sump. Therefore, the
priority valve senses filtered oil pressure and bypasses or
dumps unfiltered oil back to the oil sump to control the engine
oil pressure.
If the oil pressure exceeds 1035 kPa (150 psi), as it may on a cold
startup or with an emergency oil pump, a second spool (pressure
relief valve) in the priority valve will open and additional
unfiltered oil will bypass to the sump to prevent overpressurizing
the lubrication system.

Regulators: oil
temperature to 83 C
Pressurized oil from the oil pump flows first to the oil coolers (1)
and the oil temperature regulators (2). The oil temperature
regulators regulate the temperature of the oil flowing to the
engine at 83 C (181 F).
When the oil temperature is below 83 C (181 F), oil flows directly
through the regulators, bypassing the oil coolers. As the oil
temperature approaches 83 C (181 F), the regulators start to open
and part of the oil flow is diverted through the oil coolers to cool
the lube oil. As the oil temperature continues to increase, the
regulators continue to open, and more hot oil flows to the oil
coolers, thus maintaining the temperature of the oil to the engine
at 83 C (181 F).
From the regulators and oil coolers, the oil is piped to the oil filter
changeover valve (3) and the oil filters (4).

There are two oil filter housings (1) on all 3600 Engines with

The normal oil filter change period is 1000 hours or when the oil
filter differential pressure drop across the filters reaches 100 kPa
(15 psi), whichever occurs first.
NOTE: The gauges in the oil filter covers (7) measure oil
pressure in the oil filter housings, not differential pressure. A
separate differential pressure gage must be included in the
engine monitoring system or gauge panel.

The piston cooling jets cool the pistons by spraying oil into a

Lesson 3

1999
Fuel with higher sulfur content became common during the mid
40's. This with along with the higher output engines brought
about the need for more lube oil improvements. Pooled efforts by
Caterpillar and the major oil companies brought about a new
additive package that resulted in new oils that were named
Superior Lubricants Series 2. Caterpillar recommended
exclusive use of these oils in Caterpillar Engines.
In 1947 the American Petroleum Institute (API) introduced an oil
classification system which categorized the existing oils into 3
types based on engine service: regular, premium and heavy duty.
In 1956, further lube oil improvements established the Series 3
classification. Caterpillar required the use of Series 3 oils in
Caterpillar turbocharged engines.
In 1970, the API, American Society for Testing and Materials
(ASTM) and the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) revised
the classification system. Their new system was based on the
same type of performance specifications which Caterpillar and
others had been using.
C - Diesel engines
S - gasoline engines
API CD oils were the best quality oils available with the new
classification system. All Caterpillar diesel engines could operate
with any CD oil satisfactorily.

Lube oil formulations vary around the world and change from
time to time. If an acceptable lube oil has been reformulated or if
a customer desires to change to a different lube oil, the microoxidation test must be run on the new or reformulated oil.
Acceptable lube oils for 3600 residual fuel engines are even more
limited at the present time so it is very important to have the
intended oil tested.

3600 Engine Oil
Change Period
The oil change period will be different from engine to engine and
will be affected by application (EPG, marine, load factor,
operating environment), oil sump size, and fuel quality. Oil
change periods for residual or heavy fuel engines will usually be
much less than for distillate fuel engines, even when a lube oil
purifier is used.
Change period:
hours or oil analysis
The oil change period can be determined two ways: a set number
of hours or by lube oil analysis. If the oil must be changed based
Hours - chart in O & M on a set number of hours or if SOS oil analysis is not available
Manuals
for an engine, then the oil change period is conservatively set at
the hours shown in the Refill Capacity and Oil Change Interval
charts. These charts can be found in the 3600 Engine Operation
and Maintenance Manuals dated January 1996 or later.
SOS - trend analysis
Condemning limits
To give the engine the best protection possible and still get as
much life as possible from the engine oil, SOS oil analysis must
be used. Oil change intervals are based on trend analysis' of the
oil sample results and the condemning limits established for the
engine.
To establish an oil change period determined by lube oil analysis,
oil samples must be taken every 250 engine hours and analyzed.
The first oil change will be made based on the chart shown in the
3600 Engine Operation and Maintenance Manual.
If the last oil analysis of the change period so indicates, the
second oil change period can be extended an additional 250
hours. This process is repeated until the oil analysis results
indicate that maximum life has been obtained. Oil samples must
be taken every 250 hours for the life of the engine and the change
period reduced if necessary as the engine ages.

Taking Oil Sample
Before taking an oil sample with the live oil sampling kit,
operate the engine until it is at the normal operating temperature.
Take a small amount of oil from the sample valve with an old
sample probe to purge any dirt from the valve and to bring fresh
oil into the valve.

Insert the probe of a new sample bottle and fill it to the marker on
the bottle. Remove the probe from the sample valve, remove and
discard the sample probe from the bottle, and press the cap
securely on to the top of the bottle.
Fill out the sample and shipping labels and send the sample
container to your Caterpillar Dealer for the SOS analysis.
Make sure the engine serial number, engine hours, hours on the
oil and oil brand designation are indicated. An oil sample
without the requested information on the sample label has little
value.
