The most useful manual is the Operation and Maintenance Instructions (OMI), it will save you time, money and prevent you from making mistakes.
I found this one on eBay:

Hi Ricky, the oil to use is specified in the Operator's Manual I believe. You can likely find a copy to buy online if you don't already have one, or it may be in the Library here on the forum. In any case, your Cat dealer likely has a suitable oil for you to use.

Put a TO4 30wt transmission oil in it, Cat has a decent price on it, NAPA has it also

I never had the privilege of owning or operating a D6 C. But they are of the time period Cat was going for run everything on the same oil. I have not read the book for D6 C , but know the recommended oil changed back to thicker oil. So it would not surprise me if you could find operators manuals that don't agree on what oil to use.

I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
