For 3600/G3600 series engines, the Caterpillar supplied bellows and adapter, or elbow and
bellows options, account for the maximum allowable loading on the turbocharger. All other
external piping must be self-supporting.

The capacity includes the oil sump plus oil filters that are installed at the factory.
Engines with auxiliary oil filters will require additional oil. The capacity is
approximate. The actual capacity may vary by 5 percent. Caterpillar recommends
using the capacity that is listed and then adjusting the oil level according to the oil
level gauge (dipstick).
(2)
Note: If the sump engine is installed at >0 tilt, it will reduce oil capacity
and reduce the oil change interval. Consult Caterpillar for specific details.

NOTE: The above external resistance settings must be made with blockedopen regulators to assure full heat exchanger flow. Refer to Engine Data
Sheet Cooling System Field Test.
NOTE: A lockable plug valve is preferred for setting external resistance. A
plate type orifice or other adjustable valve may be used, but it must not
include an elastomer seal element.

Note: The damping values for the inline engines are for each cylinder; the
3612 and 3616 damping values are for a pair of cylinders since the vee
engines have two cylinders on each crankshaft throw.
Flywheel Inertia Data
Most marine propulsion applications use the high inertia flywheel to allow
the use of a single element torsional coupling. A lighter weight standard
flywheel is also available. Inertia valves include the ring gear and should be
added to the rear crank inertia.
