4.4 Fuel, coolant and lubricants
Use of fuel, coolant and lubricants according to ambient temperature
Maintenance
4-20
WA470-6H – VEAM946100
NOTE
To ensure good fuel consumption characteristics and exhaust
gas characteristics, the engine mounted on this machine uses
an electronically controlled high-pressure fuel injection device.
This device requires high precision parts and lubrication, so if
low viscosity fuel with low lubricating ability is used, the durability
may drop markedly.
Note 1:
HTHS (High-Temperature High-Shear Viscosity 150°C), speci-
fied by ASTM D4741 must be equal to or higher than 3.5 mPa-S.
KOMATSU EOS0W30 and EOS5W40 are the most suitable oils.
Note 2:
Power train of oil has different properties from engine oil. Be
sure to use the recommended oil.
Note 3:
Axle oil AXO80 has the function of preventing squealing from the
brakes and LSD (Limited Slip Differential).
If only AXO80 is recommended, use KOMATSU genuine AXO80
or equivalent.
Note 4:
When the ambient temperature is higher than 45°C and the
machine operation hour is longer than 12 hours/day, then the
use of TO50 instead of AXO80 is recommended.
Squealing of the brakes may occur with TO50, but there is no
problem with the brake performance or durability.
For machines with LSD, use AXO80 regardless of the ambient
temperature. Do not use TO50.
Note 5:
Hypergrease (G2-T, G2-TE) is high-performance grease.
When it is necessary to improve the lubricating ability of the
grease in order to prevent squeaking of pins and bushings, the
use of G2-T or G2-TE is recommended.
Note 6:
Supercoolant (AF-NAC)
1. The coolant has the important function of preventing corro-
sion as well as preventing freezing.
Even in the areas where freezing is not an issue, the use of
antifreeze coolant is essential.
KOMATSU machines are supplied with KOMATSU Super-
coolant (AF-NAC). KOMATSU Supercoolant (AF-NAC) has
excellent anticorrosion, antifreeze and cooling properties
and can be used continuously for 2 years or 4000 hours.
KOMATSU Supercoolant (AF-NAC) is strongly recom-
mended wherever available.
