Recommended Brands, Recommended Quality For Products Other Than Komatsu Genuine Oil - Komatsu ecot3 Operation And Maintenance Manual

RECOMMENDED FUEL, COOLANT, AND LUBRICANT
Note 1: HTHS ( High-Temperature High-Shear Viscosity 150°C (302°F)), specified by ASTM D4741 must be equal
to or higher than 3.5 mPa-S. Komatsu EOS0W30 and EOS5W40 are the most suitable oils.
Note 2: Powertrain oil has different properties from engine oil. Be sure to use the recommended oils.
Note 3: Hyper grease (G2-T, G2-TE) has a high performance.
When it is necessary to improve the lubricating ability of the grease in order to prevent squeaking of pins and
bushings, the use of G2-T or G2-TE is recommended.
Note 4: COOLANT
1) Komatsu genuine SUPERCOOLANT (AF-NAC) has the important function of preventing corrosion as well as
preventing freezing.
Even in the areas where freezing is not an issue, the use of antifreeze COOLANT is essential.
Komatsu machines are supplied with SUPERCOOLANT (AF-NAC). SUPERCOOLANT (AF-NAC) has excellent
anticorrosion, antifreeze and cooling properties and can be used continuously for 2 years or 4000 hours.
SUPERCOOLANT (AF-NAC) is strongly recommended wherever available.
2) For details of the density of the COOLANT, see "CLEAN INSIDE OF COOLING SYSTEM (PAGE 4-27)".
COOLANT is supplied already diluted. In this case, add the pre-diluted fluid to keep the tank full. (Never dilute the
COOLANT with ordinary water.)
3) To maintain the anticorrosion properties of COOLANT, always keep the density of COOLANT between 30% and
64%.
