Cat 160 service
What each system holds and when Cat says to change it, with genuine filters and oils. The oil grade for your build is in its operator's manual.

- Engine oil
- 30 L
Fluid: Cat DEO-ULS SAE 15W-40 (rated -10 to 50 °C) (Caterpillar Machine Fluids Recommendations SEBU6250-30 (Dec 2020))
Cat groups the daily service points on the left-hand side of the machine.
The engine sits right behind the cab in the heat of its enclosure; Gulf heat and blade dust age the oil fastest, so do not stretch the change.
Confirm fluid grades in your machine's operator's manual: they vary by build year and climate.
