Cat 236 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.

    Dipstick, filler and filter are behind the rear door, at ground level.

    The 236D3's engine sits behind the cab with the hydrostatic pumps driven off it; dusty, worn-out oil wears both, so change it on the 500 hours, not late.

Confirm fluid grades in your machine's operator's manual: they vary by build year and climate.
