Komatsu excavator is a heavy equipment widely used in earthwork, mining and construction. In order to ensure the normal operation of Komatsu excavator and extend its service life, it is essential to choose the right lubricant. So, what oil should Komatsu excavator add?
First of all, we need to clarify the engine type and specifications of Komatsu excavator in order to select the engine oil that meets the requirements. Komatsu excavator generally uses diesel engine, so diesel engine oil is needed for lubrication. When choosing diesel engine oil, it is recommended to refer to the recommended engine oil model and specifications in the Komatsu excavator engine manual to ensure that the oil's viscosity, anti-wear, anti-oxidation and cleanliness meet the requirements of the engine.
Secondly, the hydraulic system of Komatsu excavator also needs to be lubricated with special hydraulic oil. The choice of hydraulic oil also needs to be determined according to the specific model and specifications of Komatsu excavator. Generally, the hydraulic system of Komatsu excavator uses No. 46 or No. 68 anti-wear hydraulic oil, which has good anti-wear, anti-oxidation and stability, and can effectively protect the normal operation of the hydraulic system.
In addition to engine oil and hydraulic oil, other parts of Komatsu excavators, such as gearboxes, slewing mechanisms, etc., also need to be lubricated with corresponding lubricants. The selection of these lubricants also needs to be determined according to specific usage conditions and requirements.
In order to ensure the normal operation of Komatsu construction equipment and extend their service life, it is very important to choose the right lubricant. It is recommended to read the engine manual and hydraulic system manual carefully before using the Komatsu excavator, understand the requirements of each component for lubricants, select lubricants that meet the requirements, and regularly replace and check the condition of the lubricants.
