Cat 980 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 (rated -10 to 50 °C) (Cat Machine Fluids Recommendations SEBU6250-30 (Dec 2020))
Oil carries heat and grit out of the engine; a loader idling and digging in Gulf heat and dust wears its oil faster than the hour meter suggests, so change it on time and sample it.
Confirm fluid grades in your machine's operator's manual: they vary by build year and climate.
