20. USE OF FUEL, COOLANT AND LUBRICANTS ACCORDING TO AMBIENT TEMPERATURE
Note 1:
For axle oil, use only recommended oil as follows.
SHELL: DONAX TT or TD
CALTEX: RPM TRACTOR HYDRAULIC FLUID
CHEVRON: TRACTOR HYDRAULIC FLUID
TEXACO: TDH OIL
MOBIL: MOBILAND SUPER UNIVERSAL
It is possible to substitute engine oil CLASS-CD SAE30 for axle oil.
If noise comes from the brake, it is no problem of durability.

‡ When fuel sulphur content is less than 0.5%, change oil in the oil pan every periodic maintenance
hours described in this manual.
Change oil according to the following table if fuel sulphur content is above 0.5%.
Change interval of oil in
Fuel sulphur content
engin oil pan
0.5 to 1.0% 1/2 of regular interval
Above 1.0% 1/4 of regular interval
‡ When starting the engine in an atmospheric temperature of lower than 0˚C, be sure to use engine
oil of SAE10W, SAE10W-30 and SAE15W-40, even though an atmospheric temperature goes up to
10˚C more or less in the day time.
‡ Use API classification CD as engine oil and if API classification CC, reduce the engine oil change
interval to half.
‡ There is no problem if single grade oil is mixed with multigrade oil (SAE10W-30, 15W-40), but be
sure to add single grade oil that matches the temperature in the table.
‡ We recommend Komatsu genuine oil which has been specifically formulated and approved for use
in engine and hydraulic work equipment applications.
Specified capacity: Total amount of oil including oil for components and oil in piping.
Refill capacity: Amount of oil needed to refill system during normal inspection and maintenance.
