Handling oil, fuel, coolant, grease and carrying out KOWA
(KOMATSU Oil Wear Analysis)
Oil
!
Oil is used in the engine and work equipment under
extremely severe conditions (high temperature, high pres-
sure), and deteriorates with use.
Always use oil that matches the grade and temperature for
use given in the Operation and Maintenance Manual.
Even if the oil is not dirty, always change the oil after the
specified interval.
!
Oil corresponds to blood in the human body, so always be
careful when handling it to prevent any impurities (water,
metal particles, dirt, etc.) from getting in.
The majority of problems with machines are caused by the
entry of such impurities.
Take particular care not to let any impurities get in when stor-
ing or adding oil.
!
Never mix oils of different grades or brands.
!
Always add the specified amount of oil.
Having too much oil or too little oil are both causes of prob-
lems.
!
If the oil in the work equipment is not clear, there is probably
water or air getting into the circuit. In such cases, please
contact your KOMATSU distributor.
!
When changing the oil, always replace the related filters at
the same time.
!
We recommend you have an analysis made of the oil period-
ically to check the condition of the machine. For those who
wish to use this service, please contact your KOMATSU dis-
tributor.
!
When using commercially available oil, it may be necessary
to reduce the oil change interval.
We recommend that you use the KOMATSU oil clinic to
carry out a detailed checks of the characteristics of the oil.
