If metals are found in the filter element, a magnet
can be used to differentiate between ferrous metals
and nonferrous metals.
Ferrous metals can indicate wear on steel parts and

on cast iron parts.
Nonferrous metals can indicate wear on the

aluminum parts of the engine such as main
bearings, rod bearings, or turbocharger bearings.
Small amounts of debris may be found in the filter

element. This could be caused by friction and by
normal wear. Consult your Caterpillar dealer in
order to arrange for further analysis if an excessive
amount of debris is found.
Using an oil filter element that is not recommended

by Caterpillar can result in severe engine damage
to engine bearings, to the crankshaft, and to other
parts. This can result in larger particles in unfiltered
oil. The particles could enter the lubricating system
and the particles could cause damage.
