caterpillar 20 service? was created by pds
hi, ongoing cleanup of my new twenty and i drained oil and found Baldwin filters in the motor oil filters (the manual says theres a reusable filter) just curious what everyone is using or would these filters be fine-i believe they’re balwin PT766 

the backplate instructions say to use a highgrade medium body cylinder oil? i was going to use non detergent SAE 30 for motor oil

the transmission and finals says to use transmission oil? i read on a cat 22 manual this is pure mineral oil (i was going to use 80W-90 gear oil in these? 
 
thanks 
paden

that would be fine on both counts. i would use those filters better than a reusable strainer. if in doubt about oil ask your chosen oil companies tech advice service for a recommendation.

This will help with your oil filters, I use 90w140 gear lube and 30 weight in engine, I typically use it for summer fun, not cold weather use., I would recommend removing and cleaning oil sump, I am usually shocked by what I find

thank you! that does help, im tempted to try those fram filters as i could get them today but i think ill wait until tomorrow and see if cat has a match. i could feel the sludge in bottom thru drain plug hole and so i removed the left access covers….. you’re correct i was amazed… found a lot of sludge and a screw driver wedged under oil pipe haha

To be clear , to use the fram filters you have to make the bushings and buy a 2 springs, but a simple way to use modern filters.

Hi Steve, would you happen to know any applications of a bypass filter to the Twenty-Two? My cousin's doesn't have any filtering arrangement which irks me. Since it doesn't do a lot of hours, it takes a while to get to the 20 or 50 hour mark or whatever the oil change interval is, but the thought of the possibility for chunks floating around in there does not instill a huge amount of confidence : )

Cheers,
Neil

No direct knowledge however I have seen aftermarket filters added to many tractors,, it can be as simple as a t in the oil pressure gage line going to a spin on filter bolted to the fender and then discharging back into the crank case. Many old engines have nothing more than a screen, same for old airplanes. I like a filter for good measure.

Thanks, the other approach I thought of was to drill and tap three holes in the oil gallery that comes from the oil pump. Block the middle one and run the other two via a filter. From memory, the oil gallery goes up from the pump to a horizontal gallery
