Cat DEO ® ™

Diesel Engine Oil for Egypt and Saudi Arabia 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 CH-4 or CG-4
classification oil (See “Typical Characteristics” on page 2 for more information)
• Automotive gasoline engines that require API SJ classification oils
* Excluding 3600, 3116 and 3126 MUI Marine and MaK diesel engines. The 3116 and 3126 MUI Marine diesel

Discover the Difference

 at DEO is developed, tested and approved by Caterpillar to meet the same high standards as
C
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.
