Cat 259D 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.

  1. Check the dipstick on level ground before the shift; the sump is small, so a slow leak shows as low oil quickly.

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