Recommended Brands, Recommended Quality For Products Other Than Komatsu Genuine Oil - Komatsu PC220LC -8 Operation & Maintenance Manual

RECOMMENDED FUEL, COOLANT, AND LUBRICANT
Note 1: HTHS ( High-Temperature High-Shear Viscosity 150°C), 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: Supercoolant (AF-NAC)
1) Coolant has the important function of anticorrosion as well as antifreeze.
Even in the areas where freezing is not an issue, the use of antifreeze coolant is essential.
Komatsu machines are supplied with Komatsu Supercoolant AF-NAC. Komatsu Supercoolant AF-NAC has
excellent anticorrosion, antifreeze and cooling properties and can be used continuously for 2 years or 4000 hours.
Komatsu Supercoolant AF-NAC is strongly recommended wherever available.
2) For details of the Supercoolant AF-NAC density, see "CLEAN INSIDE OF COOLING SYSTEM (PAGE 4-27)".
Supercoolant AF-NAC is supplied already diluted. In this case, add the pre-diluted fluid to keep the tank full.
(Never dilute the Supercoolant with ordinary water.)
3) To maintain the anticorrosion properties of Supercoolant AF-NAC, always keep the density of Supercoolant
between 30% and 68%.
