Interval Categories
Engine components can generally be grouped into speed sensitive and load sensitive categories. The maintenance interval for each item listed in the Maintenance Schedule is based on either engine speed or load. Speed sensitive items such as water pumps an air compressors are not primarily affected by the operating load on your engine. The load on an engine will not significantly accelerate the repair or replacement cycle for speed sensitive items. The maintenance intervals established for speed sensitive items are based on service hours. Load sensitive items such as piston rings and cylinder liners are affected by the operating load on your engine. Generally speaking, the lower the load, the longer the engine life. Conversely, the higher the load, the shorter the engine life. A heavy load on an engine will accelerate the repair or replacement cycle for load sensitive items.Load sensitive items are normally internal engine components. The amount of fuel consumed is directly related to the load on your engine.The maintenance interval for load sensitive items includes fuel consumption, since the amount of fuel consumed is directly related to the load on your engine.Caterpillar recommends performing maintenance on load sensitive items at maintenance intervals based on the quantity of fuel consumed.
