TIER 4 ENGINE MAINTENANCE

We believe that part of our commitment to our customers is to understand your needs and your business. We know that engine maintenance, service and support are critical not just to power and performance but to achieving the lowest total cost of ownership. Value is cumulative, and Stowers is dedicated to delivering this for the life of your engine.
Tier 4 Engine Maintenance
 CAT TIER 4 INTERIM/STAGE IIIB TESTING AND VALIDATION

Caterpillar has taken every possible step to effectively manage service and maintenance issues and minimize the impact of those activities on operating costs. Here are some examples:
  • Cat has eliminated the 500-hour initial valve lash service requirement.

  • Basic oil and filter change intervals have not changed.

  • Engines are required to use Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) fuel, but they can also accommodate B2O biodiesel when blended with ULSD.

  • The CLEAN EMISSIONS MODULE (CEM) aftertreatment is designed with a removable center section to allow easy access to the DPF for ash service.

New emissions standards drive new service intervals and maintenance activity, as shown below:
  • 5,000 hours (C7.1 ACERT - C18 ACERT) for DPF ash removal. Removal options include a stationary ash removal tool and Cat Reman exchange
  • 2,000 hours for Open Crankcase Ventilation filter

Stowers also offers Customer Support Agreements and fleet and business management expertise that can help you reduce overall costs and manage your business even more effectively, allowing you to take your success to a whole new level.
