Cat DEO

® ™

Diesel Engine Oil for Africa and Middle East SAE 15W-40

Recommended Use
• Cat earthmoving, commercial, marine and on-highway truck diesel engines*
• Low-emission diesel engines including Cat engines with ACERT® Technology
• Heavy-duty diesel engines made by other manufacturers that recommend API CI-4 or CH-4
classification oil (See “Typical Characteristics” on page 2 for more information)
• Automotive gasoline engines that require API SJ/SL classification oils
* Excluding 3600, 3116 and 3126 MUI Marine and MaK diesel engines. The 3116 and 3126 MUI Marine diesel
engines with closed crankcase ventilation systems should use Cat SAEO™.

Discover the Difference

Cat DEO is developed, tested and approved by Caterpillar to meet the same high standards as
Genuine Cat Parts.
• Factory-Fill—Used as standard factory-fill for Cat machines.
• Increased Engine Life—Resists oxidation and prevents build-up of deposits on pistons and rings.
• Longer Intervals—Extends oil drain intervals while providing excellent engine protection and
performance when used in conjunction with our S•O•SSM Services oil analysis program.
• Proven Performance—Tested thoroughly in Cat diesel engines including Cat engines with ACERT
Technology to ensure excellent engine life and performance.
• Long-Lasting Protection—Improved soot control and enhanced shear stability enable oil to
maintain proper viscosity for longer operating periods in Cat engines with ACERT Technology,
especially those equipped with HEUI systems.

Cat DEO Performance Tested Beyond Industry Standards

Performance Requirements Test Commercial Cat DEO In addition to the tests required for the ECF-1-a
ECF-2 classification, Cat DEO undergoes four proprietary
Cat 3406E Endurance Test Cat Proprietary multi-cylinder endurance tests, a variety of quality
Cat C13 ACERT Endurance Test Cat Proprietary assurance tests and thousands of hours of field
Cat 3500 Series Test Cat Proprietary service. Only when it has passed all these tests
C13 ACERT Series Wheel Loader Test Cat Proprietary can it be approved by Caterpillar. The chart to
C13 500 Hour Engine Test the left indicates the differences between
Improved Soot-Viscosity & Shear Control ECF-1-a standards and the proprietary
High Temperature Shear standards of Caterpillar.
Elastomer Compatibility Cat DEO also passes the Cat C13 multi cylinder
Piston ring & Cylinder liner wear oil test engine 500-hour test protocol that is a key
Valve train wear, sludge, oil filter plugging requirement of the new Cat ECF-2 specification.
Aeration Control The Cat C13 multi cylinder oil test engine provides
Bearing Corrosion significant improvements in defining the oil needs
