S-O-S Information
S O S Services is a highly recommended process for Caterpillar customers to use in order to minimize owning and operating
cost. Customers provide oil samples, coolant samples, and other machine information. The dealer uses the data in order to
provide the customer with recommendations for management of the equipment. In addition, S O S Services can help
determine the cause of an existing product problem. Refer to Caterpillar Special Publication, SEBU6250, “Caterpillar
Machine Fluid Recommendations” for detailed information concerning S O S Services.
Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual, “Maintenance Interval Schedule” for a specific sampling location and a
service hour maintenance interval.
Consult your dealer for complete information and assistance in establishing an S-O-S program for your equipment.
Maintenance Interval Schedule (MIS)
Ensure that all safety information, warnings, and instructions are read and understood before any operation or any
maintenance procedures are performed. The user is responsible for the performance of maintenance, including all
adjustments, the use of proper lubricants, fluids, filters, and the replacement of components due to normal wear and aging.
Failure to adhere to proper maintenance intervals and procedures may result in diminished performance of the product
and/or accelerated wear of components. Use mileage, fuel consumption, service hours, or calendar time, WHICH EVER
OCCURS FIRST, in order to determine the maintenance intervals. Products that operate in severe operating conditions may
require more frequent maintenance.
Service Intervals
Note: Before each consecutive interval is performed, all maintenance from the previous interval must be performed.
Perform the following servicing at EVERY interval they occur; for example, the 10 hour and 50 hour service are also
performed at the 200 hour interval, etc.
