Cat 432 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.

Fluid: Cat DEO-ULS SAE 15W-40 (Cat's grade for -10 to 50 °C) (Cat fluid selector: 432 (S/N L7E00001-Up))
The dipstick and filler sit under the top engine access door; check daily, because an engine working a loader in heat breaks its oil down fast.
Confirm fluid grades in your machine's operator's manual: they vary by build year and climate.
