Oil Change on a CAT299D - What NOT to do

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Hopefully this can help others changing their CAT's engine oil. Not a fun project for the ill prepared. I recommend having plenty of shop cloths, oil drip pans, and a box of kitty litter handy for spills!
Also make sure you have your PPE; eye, skin, and ear protection is key!

    Next time just put the plug back in it. Even if it doesn’t have the threads tightened it will stop a majority of the oil coming out.

    @@scottwolowich6492 So... Kind of. We've been filming episodes for a while now. I knew I wanted to launch a KZread channel when we started working on our homestead, and had more fun stuff to share. Now that we are a little further along, and because of the Pandemic and being furloughed, I have been able to focus on editing videos. Editing videos isn't as easy as changing oil!
