RECOMMENDED FUEL, COOLANT, AND LUBRICANT
NOTICE
• Komatsu genuine oils are conditioned to maintain the reliability and durability of Komatsu construc-
tion equipment and components.
In order to keep your machine in the best condition for long period of time, it is essential to follow
the instructions in this Operation and Maintenance Manual.
• Failure to follow these recommendations may result in shortened life or excessive wear of the en-
gine, power train, cooling system, and/or other components.
• Commercially available lubricant additives may be good or bad for the machine. Komatsu does not
recommend any commercially available lubricant additive.
• Komatsu recommends using Komatsu genuine engine oil for KDPF. If engine oil other than Komat-
su genuine oil for KDPF is used, it may shorten cleaning interval of KDPF filters, adversely affect
the engine such as deteriorated oil may reduce lubricating function, and it may cause failure, short-
ening of the machine life, lowering of performance and increase of fuel consumption.
• Use the fuel, the oil and the lubricant according to the ambient temperature as recommended.
• If the machine is operated at a temperature of -20 °C and below, separate devices are needed, so
consult your Komatsu distributor.
NOTICE
The fuel used must be ultra low-sulfur diesel fuel.
(≤10 ppm)
To ensure good fuel consumption characteristics and ex-
haust gas characteristics, the engine mounted on this ma-
chine uses an electronically controlled high-pressure fuel
injection device and emission gas control system (KDPF).
Since the high-pressure fuel injection device requires high
precision parts and lubrication, if low viscosity fuel with
low lubricating ability is used, its durability may drop con-
siderably. And using fuel with high sulfur content can dete-
riorate the engine parts and KDPF catalyzer, inducing fail-
ures, decrease of the life and degradation in performance.
The ASTM diesel fuel recommended by Komatsu may con-
tain 5 % or less of biofuel. The EN diesel fuel may contain
7 % or less of it. Use the fuel which is filled into the storage
tank or the fuel tank of the machine as soon as possible.
When the diesel fuel is changed to the one mixed with the
bio-fuel, replace the fuel prefilter cartridge and the fuel
main filter cartridge with new ones.
The use of metallic fuel additives is strictly prohibited.
Metallic components in the additives will not be burnt dur-
ing the KDPF regeneration, and may cause abnormal con-
ditions in the exhaust gas after treatment devices.
