Introduction
SMCS Code: 1000; 1300
NOTICE
Read and understand this publication before using the
Oil Renewal System (ORS). Reduced engine life may
result from improper operation of the ORS.
The Oil Renewal System (ORS) is used to optimize
the oil change interval of the engine. By optimizing
the oil change interval of an engine, several benefits
are realized. One of the benefits of using an ORS
is the increase in the availability of the machine.
The amount of waste oil that must be disposed of
by the customer is substantially decreased. The use
of an ORS on an engine will not reduce the life of
the engine.
General Description
The ORS meters engine oil that has been filtered
into the fuel supply of the machine. This oil will be
consumed in the engine during the normal process
of combustion. The amount of oil that is metered is
calculated by the engine's Electronic Control Module
(ECM). This amount is based on the actual load
factor or on the fuel that is consumed by the engine.
When the used engine oil from the oil pan is injected
into the return fuel line, new oil from a makeup tank
(if equipped) is added to the oil pan. The regular
introduction of fresh engine oil into the engine allows
the oil change interval to be extended. The customer
utilizes trend analysis from the S·O·S Oil Analysis in
order to determine when the engine oil needs to be
changed.
Note: The following monitoring systems can be found
on different models of off-highway trucks: Caterpillar
Monitoring System (CMS), Electronic Monitoring
System (EMS), and Vital Information Management
System (VIMS), VIMSTM 3G. The term “Monitoring
System” will be used throughout this text to describe
the monitoring system that is on your machine.
The ORS is integrated with the engine's lubrication
system, the engine's fuel system, and the electronic
system of the engine and machine. The electronic
system consists of sensors, switches, the engine
ECM, and the machine's monitoring system. If a
problem with the ORS occurs, the electronic system
notifies the operator of a monitoring system warning
or of a system malfunction. The following warnings
are detected by the machine's electronic system:
• Problem with the metering valve
• Plugging of the engine oil filter
• Low fuel level
• Plugging of the fuel filter
• Low engine oil level
• Low engine oil pressure
• Low oil level in the makeup tank (if equipped)
The electronics of the engine automatically turns off
the system in order to avoid possible damage to the
engine. The system can be restarted by correcting
the problem and cycling the keyswitch.
Reference
Refer to the following publications for additional
information:

Maintenance
SMCS Code: 1300
The following recommendations must be followed
when you operate an engine with an Oil Renewal
System (ORS):
• Caterpillar Multigrade Diesel Engine Oil (DEO)
is recommended. Refer to Operation and
Maintenance Manual, SEBU6250, “Caterpillar
Machine Fluids Recommendations”.
• Check the engine oil level daily and keep a log of
all the additions of engine oil.
• Every 500 hours obtain an S·O·S Oil Analysis.
• Every 500 hours change the engine oil filters, the
secondary fuel filters, and the filter for the ORS.
Change the filters sooner if the monitoring system
indicates that the filters need to be changed.
• Utilize the results of the S·O·S Oil Analysis in order
to determine when the engine oil needs to be
changed.
RENR2223-13
NOTICE
When using the ORS on an engine, it is the customer's
responsibility to ensure that the above maintenance
items are managed during the life of the engine. Fail-
ure to do so may result in shortened engine life or a
catastrophic engine failure.
Engine Oil
Be sure to use an engine oil that has been approved
for your engine. The use of an engine oil that is
below the Caterpillar recommendations will cause the
engine life to be shortened. Refer to the Operation
and Maintenance Manual for information that is
related to the correct engine oil for your engine.
Record Keeping
Keep a daily maintenance log of all of the additions of
engine oil to the engine. This is necessary in order to
ensure that the ORS is operating properly. The daily
maintenance log is also necessary for the correct
adjustment to the amount of oil that is metered into
the fuel system. Illustration 1 shows an example of
the additions of oil during a 500 hour period. The
daily maintenance log will also be the source of the
total amount of oil that has been added since the last
oil change. This information is needed at the time
of each oil analysis.
g01956731
Illustration 1
Record keeping for the addition of engine oil to the engine that is
equipped with an ORS
Caterpillar S·O·S Analysis
Perform the following tests on every sample of
engine oil:
5
Systems Operation Section
• Wear metals
• Infrared analysis
• Total Base Number (TBN)
• Chemical and physical properties
When an oil sample is submitted for analysis, the
following information must accompany the sample:
• The number of hours on the oil since the last S·O·S
Oil Analysis
• The quantity of new oil that has been added to the
engine since the last S·O·S Oil Analysis
The Caterpillar S·O·S Oil Analysis will help establish
a baseline for wear metals and oxidation stability
throughout the life of the engine. The S·O·S Oil
Analysis will be used to determine if the ORS is
adjusted correctly and if an oil change is required
for the engine. The analysis will also be used to
determine if an abnormality is occurring in the engine
such as water or fuel contamination in the oil, bearing
wear, etc..
The following graph is an example of the increasing
trend of Fe for an engine. As the hours increase on
the engine oil for the engine, the amount of Fe that
is found in the oil increases. Fe is a wear metal that
becomes suspended in the oil during normal engine
operation.
g01956742
Illustration 2

on an engine
6 RENR2223-13
Systems Operation Section
Note: Check that this type of trend is occurring
for your engine. If the analysis does not exhibit
a trend that is similar to the above plot, check
for the following conditions: proper operation of
the ORS, rate for metering of the oil, and proper
operation of the engine. Refer to Systems Operation,
“Troubleshooting” for information that is related to
evaluating this condition.
Replace the Engine Oil Filters
Only use Caterpillar oil filters. The following oil filters
are acceptable for use with the ORS:
• 272-1788 Engine Oil Filter
• 275-2604 Engine Oil Filter
• 244-4484 Engine Oil Filter
• 340-6283 Engine Oil Filter Element
Change the engine oil filters according to instructions
that are found in the Operation and Maintenance
Manual. The life of the filters will be reduced if there
is an engine problem which causes the oil filters to
plug. When the oil filters become plugged, the oil filter
differential pressure increases. If this problem occurs,
a warning will be displayed by the monitoring system
in order to alert the operator. The operation of the
ORS will be suspended. The ORS will be restarted
after changing the oil filters and cycling the keyswitch.
Replace the Secondary Fuel Filters
Only use Caterpillar high efficiency fuel filters. A fuel
filter with the capacity of 2 microns is required with
use of the ORS. Blending used engine oil with diesel
fuel will increase the particle count in the fuel that is
delivered to the engine. The fuel filters are used to
remove small particles from the filtered fuel supply.
This provides protection to the fuel system.
If the fuel filter differential pressure increases to an
unacceptable level, a warning will be displayed by
the monitoring system in order to alert the operator.
The operation of the ORS will be suspended. The
ORS will be restarted after changing the oil filters and
cycling the keyswitch.
Replace the ORS Filters (If
Equipped)
If the ORS for your engine is equipped with filters,
refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual
for detailed information that is related to providing
maintenance for these filters.

SMCS Code: 1900
Enabling the Oil Renewal System
(ORS)
The ORS is an attachment that can be ordered by the
customer. The ORS is disabled from the factory in
the control software for the Electronic Control Module
(ECM). Connect Caterpillar Electronic Technician
(ET) to the chassis ECM in order to configure the
machine for this attachment. The parameters for
the oil renewal system must be set to “Installed”
and “Enabled” in order for the system to become
functional on the machine. The rate of oil injection
into the fuel system can be adjusted by connecting
to the engine ECM. Use Cat ET to configure the
system. Factory passwords must be obtained for
configuring the system.
Adjust the Oil Renewal System
The “Oil Injection Rate” is used to adjust the rate of oil
that is injected into the fuel system. This parameter is
used to establish a deviation from the baseline value
that is programmed at the factory. This baseline value
for oil consumption is based on the percentage of
engine oil that is scheduled for consumption by the
engine. This quantity of oil is directly related to the
load factor or the percentage of fuel that has been
consumed by the engine over a specific period of
time. The parameter can be adjusted using Cat ET.
Increment this parameter in order to increase the
percentage of engine oil that is metered into the fuel
and decrement this parameter in order to decrease
the percentage of engine oil that is metered into the
fuel.
The actual oil delivery into the fuel system is
calculated by the engine's ECM. The adjustment is
partially based on the following items:
• Engine load factor
• Engine oil pressure
• Jacket water coolant temperature
The default setting for the “Oil Injection Rate” is
zero when the system is initialized. The parameter
is adjusted using Cat ET. At this setting, every one
gallon of fuel that is burned there will be 0.5 percent
of oil that is injected. Only adjust the rate of metering
if the S·O·S Oil Analysis determines that additional
adjustment for the system is needed. The range
of the parameter is from a value of “−50” to “+50”.
Entering “−50” will decrease the default rate of oil
injection by 50 percent. Entering “+50” will increase
the default rate of oil injection by 50 percent.

Table 2 contains an example of additional factors that

must be considered when the ORS is configured.
These factors will also determine when the
adjustment for the oil renewal system must be
changed:

Review the engine's report from the S·O·S Oil
Analysis in order to determine if the “Oil Injection
Rate” parameter is in need of adjustment. The rate
may need to be increased if the limits of the infrared
analysis and the wear metals are too high.
NOTICE
Engine life will be reduced if the engine is operated
too long before the problem is corrected.
Factors that are specific to the location of the engine
can also be a factor on the effectiveness of the ORS.
Consider the following variables as you review the
reports that are generated from the oil analysis:
• Operating altitude of the engine
• Number of hours on the engine
• Engine history
• Operating conditions of the engine
System Events and Alert Indicators
Oil Filter Differential Pressure
The oil pressure for the engine lubrication system is
measured by two pressure sensors. Typically, the
pressure sensors are mounted on the oil filter base.
The unfiltered oil pressure is measured at the inlet
port and the filtered oil pressure is measured at the
outlet port.
The ECM calculates the pressure differential across
the oil filters in order to detect a plugged filter. When
this condition occurs, the operator will be warned
to service the filters. Operation of the ORS will
automatically be suspended if the oil filters become
plugged. The ORS can be restarted after servicing
the engine and cycling the keyswitch.

Fuel Filter Differential Pressure Fuel Level Sensor

According to the engine and the application, two
methods are used to monitor plugging of the fuel
filters. The following text describes these two
methods:
Fuel Filter Differential Pressure Switch
The fuel filter differential pressure switch is mounted
in the fuel filter base. Ports that are machined into
fuel filter base direct the unfiltered fuel pressure and
the filtered fuel pressure to the sensor. If the filter
differential pressure exceeds 103 kPa (15 psi), the
operator will be warned to service the filters. This
warning will not automatically suspend the operation
of the ORS, but the low fuel pressure will result in
low engine power.
Dual Fuel Pressure Sensors
The fuel pressure for the engine's fuel system is
measured by two pressure sensors. Typically, the
pressure sensors are mounted on the fuel filter base.
The unfiltered fuel pressure is measured at the inlet
port and the filtered fuel pressure is measured at the
outlet port of the fuel filter base.
The fuel tank of the machine is equipped with a fuel
level sensor. This sensor is used to monitor the level
of the fuel in the fuel tank. When a low fuel level
occurs, the monitoring system notifies the operator
of this condition. The components of the fuel system
may become damaged if too much oil is blended with
the fuel during operation. The operator will be notified
when the fuel level reaches a capacity of 15 percent.
The operator is required to take action when the fuel
level reaches a capacity of 10 percent. Operation of
the ORS will automatically be suspended when the
10 percent level occurs. Refilling the tank will correct
this problem. The ORS will automatically resume
operation after the keyswitch has been cycled.
Engine ECM
The oil metering valve is controlled by the engine
ECM. If an electrical fault occurs, operation of the
ORS will automatically be suspended. Cycling the
keyswitch of the machine will allow the operation of
the ORS to resume.

The ECM calculates the pressure differential across

the fuel filters in order to detect a plugged filter. When
this condition occurs, the operator will be warned to
service the filters. This warning will not automatically
suspend the operation of the ORS, but the low fuel
pressure will result in low engine power.

Engine Oil Level Switch

An electronic oil level switch is located in the front
half of the engine oil pan. If the oil in the pan drops
to the level of the switch, the switch is activated. An
urgent warning to service the machine is displayed.
If this warning occurs, the ORS will automatically be
suspended. Shut down the machine immediately.
Service the engine. The ORS will be automatically
restarted after oil has been added to the engine and
the event is no longer active.

engine's Electronic Control Module (ECM) to activate
the Oil Renewal System (ORS).
Note: The chassis ECM must be configured in order
to recognize the installation of the ORS. The ORS
must also be “Enabled” within the configuration of the
chassis ECM.
Normal Operating Parameters
(3500B Engines)
In order to activate the ORS, the following conditions
must be met:
• The fuel rate setting is greater than 10 mm
(0.40 inch).
• The engine speed is between 1100 and 1850 rpm.
• The jacket water coolant temperature must be
63 to 107 °C (145 to 225 °F).
RENR2223-13
g01960093
• The oil filter differential pressure must be less than
69 kPa (10 psi).
• The engine has been running for five minutes.
• The engine oil is above the low level switch.
• The machine's fuel tank level is above ten percent
capacity.
• After the calculation has been completed, the
ECM delays powering the metering valve for five
minutes.
When the ORS is activated, the time for activation
of the oil metering valve is determined by the ECM.
The time of the activation is based on the actual load
factor or the fuel that is consumed by the engine.
Normal Operating Parameters (C32
Engines)
In order to activate the ORS, the following conditions
must be met:
• The engine speed must be above 1100 rpm.
• The jacket water coolant temperature must be
63 to 107 °C (145 to 225 °F).

• The engine has been running for five minutes. • Fuel level of machine
• The engine oil is above the low level switch. • Engine oil filters
• The level of the makeup tank is above low. • Oil lines for plugging
• The machine's fuel tank level is above ten percent • Electronic faults
capacity.

When the ORS is activated, the time for activation

of the oil metering valve is determined by the ECM.
The time of the activation is based on the actual load
factor and the fuel that is consumed by the engine.
Normal Operating Parameters
(C175 Engines)
In order to activate the ORS, the following conditions
must be met:
• The engine speed must be above 1100 rpm.
• The jacket water coolant temperature must be
63 to 107 °C (145 to 225 °F).
• The engine has been running for five minutes.
• The engine oil is above the low level switch.
• The machine's fuel tank level is above ten percent
capacity.
When the ORS is activated, the time for activation of
the oil metering valve is determined by the ECM. The
time of the activation is based on the engine's fuel
consumption for the previous five minute period.
Procedure for Measuring Oil
Filter Differential Pressure (3500B
Engines)
1. The jacket water coolant temperature of the
engine must be 80 to 95 °C (176 to 203 °F).
2. Run the engine at high idle.
3. Use Cat ET to check the oil filter differential
pressure.
The maximum oil filter differential pressure on
Caterpillar 3500B machine engines is 69 kPa
(10 psi).
If the oil filter differential pressure is not within
specifications, replace the oil filters.
Electrical Troubleshooting
Refer to the engine's Troubleshooting Manual or the
machine's Troubleshooting Manual for information on
troubleshooting diagnostic codes and event codes
for the engine and for the machine.

Valve Flow Procedure

Use the following procedure in order to determine if a
problem has occurred in the ORS.

1. Disconnect the hose for the metered oil from the

appropriate fuel system component. Place the
hose into a graduated cylinder in order to collect
any oil that will be discharged from the system
during the test. Cap the fitting at the fuel system
component before you begin the test.

2. Start the engine. Allow the engine to run at low

engine idle.

3. Use Caterpillar Electronic Technician (ET) to

activate the override function for the ORS. This
will power the valve and this will allow oil to pass
through the system.

4. If oil does not pass through the valve, check the

following items:

• Engine oil level
