What’s the difference with Cat filters, fluids & S·O·S?
Cat filters and fluids are designed to work together as a system to optimize your Cat iron and reduce equipment downtime, resulting in greater profits for your business.
CAT FILTERS: DIFFERENT BY DESIGN.
Caterpillar: Confidential Green
Cat Fluids: Different by Design
✓ Enhanced sheer stability
✓ Superior oxidation stability
✓ Improved oil oxidation
✓ More viscosity control in
higher temperatures
✓ Development and testing
What is Cat S·O·S Services?
• For 50 years, the S·O·S Services fluid analysis program has helped prevent unexpected failures and
unplanned downtime while reducing owning & operating costs by leveraging our Caterpillar branded
proprietary process that turns oil, coolant, and fuel analysis data into valuable information.
• S·O·S Services assess whether the product is at risk for potential failure.
• Provides expert advice, proper replacement parts, and any actions needed.
• We offer fluid analysis for all types of products, whether they’re made by Caterpillar or
another OEM, for applications ranging from agriculture and aviation, to landscaping and
landfill, to mining, marine and more
Cat S·O·S Services: Different by Experience
BEYOND THE IRON – LET’S TALK BUSINESS.

4-stroke lubrication options
post IMO 2020
2021 The Viswa Group, All Right Reserved
Distribution of Fuels - 2020
The percentage of vessels using HFO is expected to go up to 11% as a greater number of larger vessels are getting fitted with scrubbers
Need for new formulations
Preference for Group II base oils
Base Oil(70%)
Additive (30%)
Typical Lube Oil Composition
Additive package will change with respect to fuel and base oil group
Need for testing of compatibility of same type of lube oils between two different manufacturers
True Lubrication Worth (TLW)
Viswa performed a benchmarking study for a big vessel owner/ operator who were using lube oils from two major brands. The performances of these oils were measured and validated in monetary terms using the TLW Index.
The study involved the comparison of main engine crankcase oil, auxiliary engine crankcase oil & cylinder lube oil. The oils were evaluated based on - Energy Efficiency- Volatility- Oxidation Stability- Ability to release water and entrained air
Using facts and real time data from vessel operators, Viswa’s Index independently assesses these performance properties of the new lube oils and validate them in monetary terms.
For example, a main engine crankcase oil of a brand A, achieves a TLW index score of 60.61 while another brand B, achieves a score of 56.75. The difference between these two scores comes to 3.86. The TLW index then converts this 3.86 to an equivalent Dollar value.
Viswa’s proprietary Index to assess the performance properties between lube oils of the same type but different brands and compute the difference in monetary terms.
Points to Consider
On the crankcase vent of the Aux. Engine, it is better to fit a desiccant breather to reduce the oxidation effects
Stability and long-term storage of lube oils
Soot, sludge & viscosity increase from combustion gases blowby leading to fast deterioration of crankcase oil quality
Lacquering of liner surface leading to increased friction and loss of energy resulting in increased fuel consumption
Reduction in fuel consumption leads to reduction in emissions
Fuel Oil Chemistry & Impact on Base Oils
Usage of re-refined base oils from dirty lube oils – Issues associated with this
Increase in the cost of base oils - More feedstock is diverted towards the production of alternative fuels- Price impact on base oil groups will differ for each group based on their demand and replaceability
VLSFOs from aromatic crude sources tend to have higher content of asphaltenes.
This causes soot, sludge formation and increased sediment leading to purifier choking
VLSFOs from paraffinic sources tend to have higher Estimated Cetane Number (ECN) which has the potential to cause damage to piston and ring pack leading to increase blowby
Microbial and fungal contamination when fuel is stored for more than 6 months particularly in the presence of moisture is higher from paraffinic VLSFOs. This is of concern to engines that are idle for a long time
Concluding Points
Ongoing R&D – No final solutions yet on the best lube oil
Lube oil companies are switching over to Group II oils and consequently the appropriate additive package
Impact of volatility in lube base oil prices
